Whale Watching in Provincetown

08/20/13 | Cape Cod, East Coast, Massachusetts, The Americas, Travel

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!

    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 🙂
