Captain Donny was fantastic. This trip was all about giving our two-year-old daughter the best possible boat adventure (with the bonus of celebrating an early Father's Day for my husband!), and Captain Donny made sure it was everything we hoped for. He was so kind, welcoming, and wonderful with all of us, especially our toddler. We chose the one-hour tour, and it was perfect. We explored the beautiful Elizabeth Islands, and seeing Naushon Island from the water was spectacular. I've spent the last 44 summers on Cape Cod, and somehow I'd never experienced these incredible views. It felt like discovering a whole new side of the Cape. We also loved hearing about Captain Donny's family's connection to Landfall, one of our favorite Cape Cod restaurants! We had such a great time that we're already talking about when we can book another tour. We've been telling all of our neighbors they need to go, too! If you're considering a trip with Woods Hole Island Tours, don't hesitate. It was one of the highlights of our summer.

And They knew where to go for the whales! Also the naturalist onboard was fantastic. Her narration was informative, and she was busy that day because we saw a lot of whales! She kept things interesting, she did not gloss over the threats to whales - we even saw a Mylar balloon at sea which allowed for a real life lesson on the threats of marine debris. And she would often say things like "if you're wondering why they do that behavior - we do too!" - this acknowledgment that we still have a lot to learn about the whales was so refreshing, and opens the door for kids to think that they could be the ones to make those next discoveries about these amazing animals. 5 stars all the way.

We journeyed out to Stellwagen Bank and saw 30 WHALES, dolphins and grey seals! It was an exceptional day for viewing these amazing creatures. I would like to highlight our tour guide and narrator, Lindsay who is a naturalist and someone whose passion, expertise and knowledge was palpable. She is articulate and personable combining just the right amount of enthusiasm and humor throughout the trip. You could feel not only her energy but her authentic respect and devotion to educating others about these giants of the ocean. I feel blessed everyday that I get to live near the ocean here in Massachusetts and to know these amazing mammals live and breathe in our waters. Thank you to Lindsay and the entire Crew on Captain John's Whale Watch!

The return trip from Provincetown on 7/18/26 was unacceptable and genuinely unsafe. I've spent…read moreyears in the boating industry, and what I witnessed was not a matter of "rough seas" -- it was a matter of poor judgment and improper vessel handling. The captain maintained a speed completely inappropriate for the sea state, causing violent hull slamming for nearly the entire crossing. Passengers were being thrown around, hanging onto tables just to stay upright. Several people were vomiting. This went on for an hour. At multiple points, the impact force was strong enough that injuries could easily have occurred and may have. With roughly 100 passengers aboard, this was not just uncomfortable -- it was dangerous. They better hope lawsuits do not come their way. The weather and wave conditions were fully predictable well before departure. Any competent operator would have known to reduce speed, adjust heading, or delay the trip. Instead, the captain chose to plow through steep chop at high speed, ignoring basic seamanship principles and putting everyone at unnecessary risk. To make matters worse, the crew announcer praised the captain afterward and asked for tips, while many passengers were shaken and demanding refunds. The disconnect between the crew's messaging and the reality of the situation was astonishing. This was not an unavoidable rough ride -- it was the result of reckless decision‑making. The captain's handling of the vessel was unacceptable, and the company should be held accountable for allowing a trip to be run in such a manner. Captain Johns needs to re-evaluate their quality control and training protocols.

Our portions, although delicious and presented beautifully, were small. We went to a local restaurant to get more food right after getting off the train.

There's a lot of interesting and good information, and I liked the people. But.... The first half of the tour is in an old mini bus. The bus has tiny windows, like 4" square, and no air circulation. No fans. No air conditioning. Today was nearly 90 out by 10 am, when our tour started, and temperatures inside the bus got so hot that stepping out felt cool! You don't travel far, and then they stop for 10 minutes to talk about what's out the window. It's brutal. Ironically, the travel distances are so slim most people could walk it. But, just sitting on the bus in the heat? Yuck. The second half is in an old shed where you learn about harvesting. Again, it could be interesting, but it's a good 10° hotter, even with the fans going, and it makes it hard to focus. Or even listen. Better weather would have helped. But, we had an old lady in our tour group nearly pass out, and the guide indicated that that was not uncommon. Heck, complimentary water would be nice. Waters are a dollar. The tour is fifteen. It's all cash only.
