New England Aquarium - Whale Watch

Whale Watch

During the months of April to October, the aquarium hosts a whale watch cruise. Aboard the Voyager III, watchers will interact with naturalists and educators. The ship whisks the watchers to a location 30 miles east of Boston called the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. This rich feeding ground is home to a wide diversity of large whales, such as humpback whales, finback whales, minke whales, pilot whales, and the endangered right whales. Also, in some cases, a white-sided dolphin might be seen. Most trips last around 3 to 4 hours.

If, in the unusual circumstance happens that no whales are sighted, then a voucher would be given to the watchers to come back again.

Famous quotes containing the words whale and/or watch:

    And one rose in a tent of sea and gave
    A darkening shudder; water fell away;
    The whale stood shining, and then sank in spray.

    You shall not watch your neighbor’s ox or sheep straying away and ignore them; you shall take them back to their owner.
