Boston whale
watching is the ideal outing, as the city of Boston
might not be the first place you think of for whale watching, but talk
to anyone who has
experienced one of these wonderful tours or talk to one of the many
scientists who have planted themselves in the area to study these
amazing creatures and you will be pleasantly surprised. Once you board the boat and get a sense of the
adventure about to begin, you will not be disappointed.
Boston
has many research facilities in and around the city that study the
amazing sea life in the area and the Boston area whale population is no
exception to this. Whales can be found at various times of the year
making bold and dramatic splashes from the sea. From our tour vessel,
you will have ample opportunity to experience these amazing moments as
well as take home some amazing photos. The snapshots you
take home may provide years of memories of this amazing experience.
Our catamarans
feature three outdoor viewing decks so you get on a tour with
more space to stretch out, get outside and truly enjoy the experience.
Most of our tours are
between late spring and early fall, when the whether in Boston is most
comfortable and the whales are about and ready to show off for
wonderful moments of Boston whale watching memories.
Weekday
tours run once a day during the spring and fall and usually two times a
day in the summer. Weekend Boston whale watching tours run twice a day
during the spring and fall and three or more times during peak weekends
in the summer and on holidays.
Boston whale
watching tours will give you an opportunity to have an up close look at
the whales in our harbor. Our tours are also narrated by professional
scientists and researchers who have the exciting privilege of also
giving Boston whale watching tours in their spare time.
Some
of the types of whales you can expect to see include
humpback whales, finback whales, minke whales and white sided dolphins.
Although you may not see all four of these types of whales on a single
trip, it is always surprising how many of these creatures like to come
out and play for an audience. The humpback whales are particularly
spectacular to see due to their size and amazing reach when they plunge
upward from the water. Other whales from the native species can be
equally exciting to witness in their playful jumps from the water.
Whale
watching is popular in many continents and in many parts of the world.
There are often specific times of years that whales are more visible
than others. One of the wonderful things about Boston whale watching is
to be on the water with the backdrop of the amazing city of Boston
while being so close to one of nature's most amazing species of
creatures. You will certainly not be disappointed should you find your
way to Boston and have an opportunity go on a Boston whale watching
tour as part of your visit to our amazing and historic
city. |
