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.
