We were so lucky to see two pairs of mother and calf humpback whales! Both pairs swam peacefully alongside our boat, giving us plenty of time to watch them closely. Seeing their tails dive into the ocean was beautiful, but we were especially amazed when a calf rolled over, slapped its body with its flippers a few times, and made a vocal sound! By the end of the tour, my two elementary school-aged sons had completely fallen in love with whales. This became an unforgettable memory for our family.

We really enjoyed the Boston Historic cruise! We sat on the top of the boat close to the presenter. He was fabulous! We learned so much about the Boston Harbor and surrounding waters. We got to see several important monuments, locations, and ships of our country's/Boston's vast history. Our narrator/tour guide, Kevin, was incredibly informative and the way he presented the information was fun and almost like we were in a story! We got to see the Bunker Hill monument, the USS Constitution, and more!
