On vacation with my family last week I had the opportunity to do something I have wanted to do for ages – whale watching! Over the course of the four hour trip I took over 330 photos of whales but I do not want to inundate you with all of them here. Instead, I am going to show you the best tail fluke photos and a collage I made of what it looks like when a 65 foot Humpback whale comes up to breathe:
To get to the location where we saw the majority of the whales it took over an hour each way on the boat. It is a good thing I like my family – we caught up on life and played a ton of hangman:
And here are a few photos from around Provincetown:
Have you ever been whale watching or to Provincetown?
I recommend both!

Such beautiful pics as always Kelly! We have been lucky enough to spot whales on a few of our excursions that weren’t really “whale watching” It is truly amazing!

For all the years that I have been visiting PTown I have never gone whale watching. I guess I’m too busy people watching lol. I love all the interesting shops and no trip is never complete without a stop to the Portuguese bakery. So yummy

It looks like it was fun and cool! (Also 330 photos? Damn…) Also, were they having a Pride event of some sort when you were there, because all those rainbow flags…

Can you believe I’ve never gone whale watching? It’s hard to believe since I practically live at the Cape every summer. I have been to be P-town though and it’s a great time!

This is something I’ve wanted to do for the longest time. It must have been the most humbling experience.

We just went whale watching in Quebec a few weeks ago. It was pretty amazing! It’s hard to believe that what you are seeing is only a small part of them.

So nice!!! I went a few years back whale watching at Ponta Delgada in the Azores Islands … My word … Stunning views and the dolphins afterwards were soooo nice making all their jumping tricks :)) Loved reading this post 🙂
