About 20 miles off the coast of Maine is a feeding ground for hungry whales. It is the perfect spot to catch a glimpse of the world’s largest living creatures. While many of the whale watching excursions leave from Bar Harbor, whale watch cruises are available up and down the Maine Coast. The chance of sighting a whale during one of these cruises is so high, some companies offer a money back guarantee. Whale watching is a family friendly activity that is both educational and enjoyable. Revel in the excitement as a whale spouts a stream of water into the air or breaches the ocean’s surface, crashing back to the water with a spectacular splash. While cruising in the Gulf of Maine, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, seals and puffins too.
