What we loved:
Whales! Entertaining and educational. And a nice boat trip.

I go whale watching with the Dolphin Fleet every year. You are guaranteed to see a whale otherwise you get your money back. The boats have a naturalist that give a lecture on the way out to explain what you will be seeing. They also help identify the animals whales have names and explain the behaviors. Entertaining and educational.br/br/The most common whale to see are humpback whales. The trip is generally a 45 minute ride out, an hour or so of whale watching and the ride back into town. Stay off the bow of the boat because that is MY spot! : Just kidding - the very front point is the best location because one can see whales on both sides of the ship from there. If you are lucky you may have a whale swim directly below you.br/br/Bring your camera! Many of your pictures will be of small black/white smudges in the water but you may get some great pics. And bring a jacket because it is often a bit cooler out on the water than on the beach.br/br/Also, just enjoy being out on the water. Look for lobster pots, fishing boats, ocean birds and the endless discussion of which way is Boston!
