my experience matched my expectations. I know that when I go back I will book again as each trip is a differnet experience. i particularly enjoyed asking the marine scientist explicit questions. All of my group agree, it was an experience of alife time, Ann

We saw quite a few whales, which was amazing as we were a little anxious that we were going to pay money and not see any. The boat was great with the wind in our hair the whole time. We were only in Boston for a few days as part of a whirlwind tour of North America and this was definitely one of the highlights. My friend and I will remember it forever and we have amazing photos to help us. Thank you. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

Great trip! Very informative w/ great sightings. Website and ticketing process works great. You should let people know, though, that the snack shop on boat is cash only-
Otherwise, it was a perfect day/trip!

A wonderful experience. It was fantastic to see such graceful animals soo close up

For the first time this season on our ship, a whale "breached" the water - which meant it came completely out of the water. What a fantastic sight!!! Seeing it on TV is never like being there in person. My grandson, not very enthusiastic at first, came back very excitedly telling his mother about the experience. Next time were in Boston, we will go again!!

from purchasing the tickets to the very end it was a positive experience. The woman providing us with the information was very enthusastic and excited. We saw beautiful whales, the boat (ship) was very clean and we had a great time. I have told all my friends about and plan to come back again

we saw a group of 3 hump back whales , a mum and calf and another whale on its own, we were thrilled to see so many.

Thrilling! We saw whales the whole time we were stopped. One came really close to the boat! Excellent pictures. Our camera is a digital one that you look through the view finder to take pictures. This was much better than cameras that you look at the screen to take pictures because it was too bright to see the screen outside. I tried to video as well, but I was guessing at where to aim the camera because of not being able to see the screen.
I was nervous about getting sea sick before going, so I prepared as best I could and it paid off. I made sure to eat protein and sugar before going and I got an inside seat right next to the window and never looked down the whole time we were traveling at high speed. We hit some pretty big waves several times, but I just kept my eyes locked on the water. I ate a little more sugar as we were traveling. I never got sick, but at least 3 other people did! Once we were stopped observing the whales, I was free to go up to the upper deck and move around.
