Join us on the first Whale Watch of the season! Capt. John Boats in Plymouth will take us out to the beautiful Stellwagen Banks National Marine Sanctuary to look for these majestic animals. Will we see Humpback Whales? Minke Whales? Dolphins? Sea Birds? The anticipation is part of the fun. Naturalists aboard will help us learn about the wildlife we see.

The whale watch is also part of a Jr. Tech workshop on Marine Animal Behavior.  Students aboard the vessel will be learning to identify and describe whale behavior.  For those who are interested in participating along with the students, we’ll have extra worksheets!

Dress very warmly in layers, including a waterproof layer. Don’t forget to bring your camera and binoculars! Food is available on board. Click here for information on what to bring and what to wear.
