Wonderful Whale Watching! - Lots of whale sightings, although not too close, within a few hundred yards (binoculars would be good). Beautiful Spring day, windy & cool; excited kids! A sea turtle swam next to us on the way back. Crew was really great with our kids ages 5-16. Know before you go: 1) Dress expecting to get wet. 2) We only received directions to the parking lot, not to the embarcation point; allow 30 min to walk from your car to the Marriott hotel & navigate through hotel pool area to the beach, then board a skiff to the large catamaran (we had SEASMOKE), all before the designated sail time.

Top Whale Watch Tour - Excellent cruise. The only reason for a 4 rating instead of five is that the ocean was rolling (luck of the draw) and standing while taking pics was more challenging. Saw many whales, far and near. And even a rare sighting of a Humpback, possibly resting/sleeping at the surface, upside down.
