“Epic. They estimated around 20 humpback whale around us. Also saw dolphins and a sea lion. Spent plenty of time at Stellwagon bank watching them as well. I didnt love that they don't include pictures. I loved that on my Vancouver tour because I felt I could watch the whales vs snap photos. They did say they might post some on their Instagram later. I felt the seats were a little worn down as well. Loved the books and coloring sheets for kids. Overall just amazing.”

“After having experienced multiple city’s harbor cruise tours, my husband and I have determined that this one will probably be our last. The architecture in the harbor leans towards soulless behemoth buildings and industrial outcroppings—neither of which are particularly sightly. Although… the city skyline was pretty, and the occasional sail boat against the sunset was nice. On this Boston harbor tour, the guide narrator was fine enough, but we’ve had overall better harbor tours with smart jokes and good humor that made you laugh along the way. This one was just straightforward and a bit dry.”
