New England Whale Watching Cruises
Massachusetts, New Hampshire & Maine 

If you're vacationing anywhere on the coast of New England, whale watching is likely on your "must-do" list of activities.

If it's not, it should be! Really. Look at this spectacular whale watch cruise photo ...


Breathtaking Sight on a New England Whale Watch Cruise


From whale watching in Maine on the remote Bay of Fundy, to excursions out of ports in Boston and Cape Cod, each state offers you whale watches that'll introduce you to Mother Nature's giant creatures, up close and personal. 

Whale Watch Cruises in Massachusetts

As you might guess, I'm a big fan of whale watching in Massachusetts. Partly because I live here, but also because Massachusetts has more whale watching excursions than any other New England state.

So ... for everyone visiting our gorgeous southern New England coastline, I've created two separate pages with lots of information to help you plan your excursion:

 

Whale Watches in New Hampshire

With a coastline that's quite a bit shorter than either Massachusetts' or Maine's, it shouldn't come as any surprise that there are fewer excursions to choose from in New Hampshire than other parts of New England.

These are a few of the more popular ones:

Whale Watching in Maine

The rocky coast of Maine boasts some of the best whale watching in northern New England.

From Eastport and Bar Harbor in the north, to Kennebunkport in the south, you'll find cruise companies that'll have you safely and comfortably at the whale grounds in no time. (With "puffin watching" as an added bonus in some locales!)
