Whalewatching

Whalewatching off the shores of Provincetown and on the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary is one of the most popular recreation events while visiting the Outer Cape. Take a voyage with the Dolphin Fleet for an exciting and educational whale watch trip. A naturalist accompanies every cruise to serve as an interpretive guide to the ecology and natural history of Cape Cod and Massachusetts Bays with emphasis on whales, other marine life and marine birds passengers are likely to see.

With the research collected on board the Dolphin Fleet well over 1,300 humpback whales have been identified since 1975.  With this data passengers are provided with the personal histories on many of the humpbacks found in the area.

The opportunistic research collected on board each Dolphin Fleet cruise includes identification of different marine mammal species, including: humpback, finback, right and minke whales; individual whale behavior and identification, as well as associated environmental and oceanographic data.  For more information, go to www.whalewatch.com
