Top Tips for Whale Watching in Cape Cod visitcapecod 

After my mind-blowing whale-watching trip, so many of you have asked for tips so here are some tips to make sure your whale watching trip is unforgettable:

1️⃣ Pick your deck wisely!
Want to get up close? Stay on the main deck (first floor)—you’ll be right near the water where humpbacks often surface. That’s where I sat and wow…mesmerizing. If you’re into photography or want that panoramic view, head to the upper deck for an amazing bird’s-eye perspective.

2️⃣ Visit during peak whale season
Whale-watching season runs mid-April to October, with June–September offering the best chance to see humpbacks feeding. If whales are the main reason for your trip, plan accordingly (there are so many things to do in Cape Cod)!

3️⃣ Morning or sunset?
Morning tours usually mean calmer seas—great for spotting whales.
Sunset cruises though? Pure magic…and often less crowded. I did a sunset tour and was completely blown away.

4️⃣ Pack smart
Layers are key! Even sunny days get chilly with sea breezes. Bring a light jacket, sunscreen, sunglasses, rubber-soled shoes, and seasickness remedies if needed.

5️⃣ Respect the whales
Choose tour companies that follow NOAA/WhaleSENSE guidelines—they shut off engines near whales. Fun fact: sometimes the whales approach the boat on their own!

6️⃣ Book early!
Tours fill up fast, especially in summer. Adult tickets start around $75. Bonus— whalescapecod offers a Whale Check (a free return voucher) if no whales are spotted.

7️⃣ Bring personal items
Snacks, water (no glass or alcohol), books, games, and electronics are allowed. The boat ride to the whales is about an hour so you want to keep yourself entertained (or take a nap).

Trust me—you won’t forget this experience!
