The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We particularly enjoyed the staff member who came around with educational materials and answered all our questions, making the trip both fun and informative.
We definitely recommend Granite State Whale watch!
The booking process was super easy, they had to cancel the day before due to tornado warning and made it very easy to reschedule to the day and time of our choice. The check in process was smooth and seamless, within minutes we were on the boat with great seats and we left right on time. There was a whole crew on the boat coming around to explain to us all the different whales, dolphins and birds we could potentially sea. We saw 5 fin whales, lots of playful dolphins that hung around for a while, and to top it off we saw two humpback whales that came up multiple times and showed their tails. No breach but still an amazing time seeing them come up for air and feeding. All throughout, the marine biologist gave us information and told us where to look etc, everything came through very clearly. We cannot wait to come back and repeat the experience.
The staff were super friendly and informative, and we were able to see tons of wildlife, including a pod of well over 100 dolphins!
I would definitely recommend Granite State While Watch & will absolutely be returning in the near furture for more fun whale watching adventures! 🐋😊
The captain moved the boat around so all passengers could see these beautiful animals. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. I can't wait to come back!
best of all were the white-sided dolphins! we were lucky enough to visit two *massive* pods of these beautiful creatures, numbering in the hundreds! goosebumps, let me tell you! seeing so many at once was rare and breathtaking!
thanks to the skilled and knowledgeable captain and crew for making this an adventure we'll never forget!
