CAPE ANN WHALE WATCH

The Ocean Alliance and Cape Ann Whale Watch began combining education efforts in 1993. Since that time, the program has worked to educate more than 200,000 passengers about whales and the marine environment, outside of Boston, Massachusetts.

Because we believe that education is as important as research, our whale watch trips are designed so that everyone can learn more about whales and the environment while observing the whales in their natural habitat.

During the ride to and from the whales, OA naturalists and interns utilize hands-on teaching tools to help passengers understand some of the more intricate details of whales, their patterns, and behaviors.

If you are interested in whale watching with us, come to Cape Ann Whale Watch in Gloucester, MA, a short 45-minute drive north of Boston. Please join us and spend a day in the company of whales. You'll be happy you did.
