Our family is heading up the coast from Cape Cod to Maine this June and will be staying around Belfast which is near friends. We plan on going to Acadia National Park + sightseeing in Bar Harbor, Boothbay Harbor, Camden, Rockport, Portland. Can anyone recommend a whale watching company from past experience? Or other places not to miss.

Appreciate your help !!

Definitely going with Bar Harbor Whale watching company. I was too referred by a friend who joined their tours before. I went with them two years ago in July. I saw several humpbacks and many others. Their ships are fast and their naturalists as well as the crew members are very knowledgable. I heard they have very good network of tracking whales,and that's why you have a good chance of sighting them.

I also went to a lobster tour in Portland in which I learnt everything about catching lobster and helped catching some. It was fun, educational and it is something very good for a family to do together.
