Highlight your Cape Cod vacation with an unforgettable cruise aboard the Mid-Cape's only Whale Watch. Our high speed state-of-the-art vessel sails daily—May through October—from picturesque Barnstable Harbor.

Since 1981, Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises of Cape Cod has been offering whale watch adventures as a platform for conservation and education to people of all ages from around the world. Throughout your whale watching adventure, our expert naturalists will share an intriguing look into the "wonderful world of whales". They will also provide commentary on the local ecology and history of this unique area.

Several species of whales, including Humpbacks, Finbacks and the North Atlantic Right whale use the waters of Cape Cod for feeding. Geological features, remnants of the last glacier that retreated about 18,000 years ago, make the waters of Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts Bay and Stellwagen Bank an outstanding habitat for a variety of wildlife, including these great whales. Traveling through Cape Cod Bay and beyond, one has an excellent chance of encountering a great variety of whales, dolphins, harbor porpoises, sea birds and unusual fish.

Cape Cod's Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises is a proud supporter of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), working together to promote responsible whale watching and educate the public about the threats facing these magnificent animals worldwide.
