Whale watching in Provincetown, MA should be on top of your vacation to-do list. Whether you are staying in town or planning a short trip to Provincetown, a whale watch will be worth your while. You get to see fins, humpbacks and seals as well as the stunning skyline of Land’s End. The 3-4 hour trips are guided by experienced captains and marine naturalists. The sail is geared for all ages and pets are allowed aboard on leash.
Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Cape Cod National Seashore along with its beaches, lighthouses and wildlife. In a spectacular setting of one of the most naturally beautiful spots in New England, a
memorable sail is guaranteed. Make sure you use plenty of sunscreen and take a camera to capture the magical moments of the trip. Videographers work on the boats as well, and you will be able to purchase a recording of the trip if you like.
Whale watching season starts mid-April, and the tours run through October. April through June might be the best time to take a trip as an unprecedented number of whales are usually spotted during these months. You will see a great number of whales later in the summer as well – these are the good months for pictures. Doing a whale watch with the Dolphin Fleet or Provincetown Whale Watch should become your Cape Cod tradition. Both businesses are centrally located. You can find the Dolphin Fleet slips on the side of the MacMillan Pier, while the the Provincetown Whale Watch is located on the other side of the dock – the Fisherman’s Wharf. We strongly recommend The Dolphin Fleet tours for the best experience.
Private tours are available with Sea Salt Charters. SeaSalt Charters is owned and operated by the Avellar Family pioneers of Whale Watching on the East Coast. They also offer fishing trips in the Provincetown Harbor.
