Made some great memories on the ocean today! We were signed up for the first sailing and it was packed, the second sailing was less than half so they switched us thankfully. We saw multiple whales. Hot dogs, pretzels, sandwiches, chips and soda for sale on the trip. Bathrooms on the ship. Be prepared for 4 hours, totally worth it!

AWESOME! Was hoping to see 1 or 2 whales, we saw dozens all around us, near and far. Such an amazing experience and the staff was super knowledgeable and friendly. So be warned, it's a good 1.5 hour ride out and it can be bumpy, allot of people (not us) got sick. I recommend sitting inside near the back (by bar) and then go out when arriving at the whale site. I was worried about getting a good spot, but the whales, and the way they mannouver the boat makes it easy for everyone to see. Highly recommend this tour!

We went on a whale watching cruise with Boston Harbor City Cruises. I highly recommend you use this company. The captain is Whale SENSE certified (knows how to safely boat around whales). They have staff from the aquarium on board to search for the whales and then explain to passengers what kind of whales they are seeing and what behaviors they are exhibiting. We had an amazing time. Our kids really enjoyed the excursion as well. The trip is about four hours long. They have food and drinks for sale. The staff is professional. This trip is well worth your time and money!

Great way to spend an afternoon in Boston! It was a little cloudy when we went but the summer weather more than made up for it! The view of the skyline under sunset was gorgeous and the guide was very informative and funny. 10/10 recommend!!

Questions & Answers

How much is the cost

Kathleen Anderson | Aug 27, 2018
N C | Aug 27, 2019

It varies from the Boston harbor rates ($29.00+5%) to higher if you advance-book online through a 3rd party. But price-compare as 3rd parties might have specials if you spend over a certain amount. I'm not sure if the price is cheaper if you buy it at the wharf (doubt it, but then again, you take the chance of them being sold out).

Is it usual to have partying groups on the boat who talk so loudly the guide cannot be heard? We have just been on the 3pm historic harbour cruise. A loud group of Marketing people talked so loudly the great guide gave up on the microphone. A shame!

Adele Phillips | Aug 26, 2020

We felt sorry for the guide who did his best and was very informative. Maybe you can have a party section for those who don’t want to look or listen! The fact it was a history tour suggests people come to learn.

I've a flight from Logan at 7.25pm with no checkin baggage.I plan to take the Ptown to Boston ferry in July at 4pm.if I take the water taxi at Boston to the airport, can I make my flight?

Angad Singh | Aug 27, 2019
Scott Beers | Aug 27, 2019

It *may* be possible but everything would have to happen with no delays. There are many possible unexpected causes for a delay when taking the boats. You would probably be better off taking an earlier ferry and plan on getting something to eat or doing something else to pass the time either in downtown Boston or on the airport property.

How much is cost for 4 adults and 2 children?

Check into the go Boston card. It has a lot of the local destinations at a discount including the harbor tour if you're planning on seeing everything.https://www.smartdestinations.com/boston-attractions-and-tours/_d_Bos-p1.html?pass=Bos_Prod_Go&allInc=true&gclid=CjwKCAiAv9riBRANEiwA9Dqv1WhdFYpj2eBPEWXUt-Hix-fAtJF7DaUlVd38s-HBrEX8YCZbJGHzjBoC6ycQAvD_BwE
