    Wow! Amazing! Fabulous staff, Molly was so nice and easy to work with. Captain Phil was awesome. The gentleman who works on the bus, classic. We did a private seal tour and we were able to bring our dogs. This is by far the best boat tour on the cape and so reasonably priced. We're booking again next month.

    Went on a fantastic seal tour with my family. The captain is very knowledgeable about the seals in the area - what type of seals visit, where they like to hang out, differences between them, etc. We saw dozens of seals and even got up close to a few that were waiting for a fishing boat to drop some fish.

    This was a great seal tour! Our Captain was very knowledgeable and made sure we all got to see seals while providing us with facts about the Cape, sharks and seals. You should definitely put this on your bucket list when I'm Cape Cod!

    Seal sighting!

    Beachcomber exceeded our expectations more than I could ever say. Having gone whale watching in the past, my boyfriend and I booked this thinking we'd get a small glimpse of the seals here and there. However, we saw tons of seals both in the water and on the beach sunning themselves. Our tour guide Skip was amazingly knowledgable and funny. He taught all of us not just about the seals but about Chatham. I could have listened to him talk for hours. He also knew how to steer and position the boat in a way that was least disturbing to the seals and the wildlife, which enhanced our experience greatly. I highly recommend this to families and adults alike, though I will say that I would be wary to take an infant or small toddler on this trip. While they make everyone under 12 wear life jackets, I think a child who is a bit older than a toddler or infant would get more out of the trip. Plus, the boat isn't really structured for the optimal viewing for someone so small. That being said, my boyfriend and I will likely be taking his niece (who's 5) on the trip next time we're up on the cape. This was truly a wonderful experience that I couldn't recommend more!!!!

We researched several charters in the area and theirs was the most reasonably priced-and I am not convinced anyone could have given us a better experience. Being from the south, we weren't sure what to expect, and we were blown away by the afternoon we spent with Tom and Helaine. The day before our charter, they actually cancelled it because the weather wasn't going to be great. When we woke up the next day, the forecast had changed so we called to ask if they would consider taking us out after all-they were so excited to hear from us and emphatically agreed! As we entered the Nantucket sound, Captain Tom spotted some seals and brought us in for a closer look. As we idled, the seals swam and played feet away from us!!! Amazing! When the bride-to-be got cold, Helaine zipped her up in one of Captain Tom's heavy duty jackets-this is just one example of the continued kindness and hospitality they showed us on the charter. When we reached the traps, Captain Tom and Helaine patiently taught us what to do, and we hooked and pulled the traps from the water all on our own! We left with eight (huge) lobsters and an experience we will never forget. Going out on a charter with Chatham Boat Tours was so much more than a touristy experience. I felt like Tom and Helaine invited us into their lives, and enjoyed sharing the experience with us as much as we enjoyed them. They treat their customers like family, they catered to us specifically, and Helaine even sent us off with two sticks of butter, cups to melt it in, lobster crackers, and some freshly baked potatoes! So sweet, above and beyond! I encourage anyone considering taking a lobster charter in the area to give these amazing people your business. (I can't stress enough how wonderful Tom and Helaine are!!!) Their friendliness and eagerness to make sure we had the best time possible was what made this so special for us. You will not leave disappointed! Thank you Tom and Helaine for everything!!

    First of all, we were looking for something that wouldn't take all day like the whale watch cruises…read moredo, and as I got to choose the activity, I chose seal watching. I was on this tour about 20 years ago prior to the reappearance of the sharks and wanted to see if there would be a noticeable difference in the population. We made our reservation online a couple days before our trip (so easy) so it was easy peasy once we showed up. They were very good with communication as our trip was moved up to an earlier time and they let us know promptly. Knowing the area we weren't worried about getting lost and being late for the cruise but if you aren't familiar with the cape don't worry, it's super easy to find. We showed up at the requested time and were quickly boarded. It was a brisk cape day but if you NOT a polar beast (like me) and you go off season you will want to remember that it gets chillier on a boat steering into the wind than it will be on shore....dress appropriately. We started off and the captain gave all safety instructions as well as some points to notice as we pulled out of the harbor. It is a bit of a trek to Monomoy island from the harbor, but along the way the guide and the captain would chime in with what we could see. Then...quite suddenly...there they were. The largest congregation grey seals in North America. Grey seals don't "bark", they "moan" so it's very haunting. When they noticed us, there was a stampede on the beach of the younger individuals to be part of the welcoming party. The guide said that the older bigger seals are bored with us and couldn't be bothered to stop sunning themselves. We had adorable little heads popping up left and right studying us like we studied them. After a while it was time to bid farewell to those adorable squishy bodies and off we went on a bit of a tour of nearby harbors. At several points the captain would stop and we would be educated about the area and things like how erosion affects these areas and how it's all part of the parks landscape to protect not just seals but birds. I can honestly say as a nature geek I was in heaven. The tour is not too expensive and completely worth every single cent. Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable to answer most of my questions. Sadly, it was too early in the season for sharks and orcas...so no predation occured. Sigh. I say this is one of the best excursions offered on the Cape and if you are a nature geek as well then it should rank high on your bucket list!

    It was SUCH a good time! If you like boats and sight seeing this is the trip! I'd advise bringing…read morebinoculars because you never know what you'll come across!

    We had an absolutely amazing day out on the water with Dolphin Fleet Whale Watch in Provincetown…read more Our tour guide, Sophie, made the entire experience unforgettable. She was incredibly knowledgeable, full of energy, and genuinely passionate about whales and nature. You could tell this is more than just a job for her. She even had a whale tattoo on her leg, which made her love for these incredible animals even more authentic. We learned so much from her, and it was refreshing to have a guide so excited to share her knowledge. She kept pointing out the whales as they surfaced, and her timing was perfect, just when you thought the action had moved on, she would spot another humpback breaching or lifting its tail before diving back down. If you can, try to get on one of Sophie's tours. I've been on whale watching tours before, but I have never seen anything like this. Our four kids were beyond excited as we saw what felt like 40 to 60 humpback whales. The boat ride itself was fantastic, with the salty spray in the air and everyone crowding the rails every time a whale came up close. It was one of the most incredible wildlife experiences we have ever had. At first, I thought the tour was a little pricey, but as my son said, "Dad, this was worth every dollar. You should have paid more." He was right. We happily tipped Sophie and the crew on our way out because they absolutely earned it. If you are visiting Provincetown, do not miss this experience. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and I would recommend it to anyone.

    Dolphin Fleet is fantastic. Always great experience. Can't say enough great things about them…read more Friendly crew. Never disappoint. Granted some trips are better than others. That's the unpredictable factors in whale watching. Regarding all boats not just Dolphin Fleet. Parents Please watch your children. You are on ocean and rough seas. Why would you let young children wander around without you? Do better! Seasick warning. Take advice of crew and take meds if prone to seasickness. You won't enjoy trip and neither will people around you.

This was actually my first visit to the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge. It was a short weekend and a beautiful Saturday in February, while the majority of New England was getting drenched. Sunday, the Cape was in line for that drench; and it did! So we knew Saturday had to be our outdoor day. I located the Monomoy Trail on my "AllTrails" app. The head of the trail can ONLY be accessed on the down sides of a HighTide. So checked my other app "Tides Planner" and we were in luck. The high tide was supposed to peak around 14:00. It was 12:00 and we took a sidewalk hike around Chatham until 14:30. Grab the car, drove over to the trail head. Along the way we checked out Chatham Light House and took a long look at the seals sunning on the sand bars below. Once at the trail head, NOAA has a really cool meteorology facility (nerdy I know, but read the information board - science). By this time it was 15:00 or so. The water was pulling back from the stone embankment revealing the sand trail. Over land isn't possible due to private properties. The looping trail was clear marked and about 1.3 miles. About a third of a mile down the beach the trail loop splits, over beach or to a moderate upland wooded section. We chose the wooded for a change. Along the way are more information boards and numbered posts for a self-guided tour. Eventually, we looped around back to the sand banks and dropping tide. Simply beautiful every step of the way in 360 degrees. If you visit, pay attention to posted signs to be on the lookout for horseshoe crabs (alive or expired) with an ID Tag which can be reported to the Maryland Fisheries Department (yes, another nerdy science thing).
