Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises - Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary
During our October 2021 trip to Cape Cod National Seashore, we spent nearly four hours on a whale cruise to Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. The sanctuary is located north of Cape Cod and covers most of the area from Provincetown north to Cape Ann. The tour company we chose, Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises in Barnstable, is one of several that follow the sustainable guidelines of Whale Sense (https://whalesense.org/). Our cruise lasted nearly four hours and provided us with an opportunity to see three humpback whales.

In 2022, an adult ticket for a three-and-a-half-hour tour is $67, two dollars higher than 2021. Discounts are available for children and seniors.
