Learn all about the ocean and its miraculous marine life and then go on a whale-watching cruise with this New England Aquarium package tour. The New England Aquarium is one of Boston's premier attractions for learning and family fun. Combine that with a whale watching tour, and your Boston vacation will be unforgettable.

The New England Aquarium is home to over 70 exhibits that will educate you about marine life. You can view penguins, electric eels, piranhas, a live coral reef, and so much more. On top of those incredible exhibits, you can even get up close and pet real live sharks and rays.

In addition to your day of fun at the new England Aquarium, this Boston tour includes a ticket on a high speed catamaran for Boston's only whale watching tour that's complete in just three hours. Cruising on a high-speed catamaran means you have more time to watch the whales than you would with a slower ship. Climb on board and be sped away to the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. The sanctuary is a feeding ground for whales, dolphins, sea birds, and many other types of marine life. Because of the food rich environment, the area is home to white-sided dolphins, humpback whales, finback whales, pilot whales, minke whales, and the endangered right whale. Due to the unpredictable nature of wildlife, your whale encounter will vary depending on the day. Your catamaran is ideal for whale watching, as it's equipped with three decks for optimal viewing plus an interior lounge with video and audio stations. As an added bonus, there are naturalists on board that have been trained by the New England Aquarium to share their vast knowledge of these beautiful creatures with you. Your catamaran also features a galley with food and drinks, in addition to comfortable seating and air conditioning.

A trip to the New England Aquarium is a must-do for all families visiting Boston. Tour the aquarium for an amazing learning experience, and top it off with a whale watching encounter that will bring the sea's many splendors right to you. Please note: occasionally it may take more travel time to locate the whales on Stellwagen bank, so please allow for additional time in your schedule beyond the usual three hours.
