And Another Successful Cape Ann Whale Watch Is In The Books!

Posted on by Pat D

My favorite times of the year to take a whale watch are the spring and the fall so we scheduled one for last week hoping we’d experience success similar to previous trips aboard the Hurricane II of Cape Ann Whale Watch. Once again, we were not disappointed!

Trips are available most days in October and this is a great time for a trip. Discounts are available and capacity limitations allow for a little more “elbow room” throughout the trip. Staff and crew are friendly and knowledgeable. It’s quite inspiring to see these big beautiful creatures in their home habitat. We were treated to two pairs of mother/calves hanging out together, and lots of calf activity. You will be able to see that the whales were VERY close to the boat on this trip! Very exciting.
