Whale Watch
Whale Watches
Offer Bonus Views
Of course there are the whales.
But this summer, New England Aquarium/Boston Harbor Cruises Whale Watches have also featured an astonishing assortment of smaller marine animals, including Atlantic whitesided dolphins, seals, ocean sunfish (mola molas), sharks, and an assortment of birds.
Whale watchers are also treated to the beauty of Boston’s waterfront, Boston Harbor Islands, and, for some, glorious sunsets, while headed to and from hotspots for whale activity.
Enjoy this collection of photographs taken by Boston Harbor Cruise staff during trips this year. Remember, there are still plenty more opportunities to take to the ocean to see minke, fin, humpback, and other whales.
