Whale watching season starts in mid-April
Make a reservation for one of the many whale watch cruises. The season begins in mid-April as hundreds of whales migrate to their summer feeding grounds off the Cape Cod coast. The season ends in late October when the whales head south again for the winter. Sightings are very reliable, especially in the summer months.
