Good whale watch tour off Cape Cod & good place to stay
 

My husband and I will be staying in Cape Cod October 1, 2 & 3 and are looking for a great place to stay and a great whale watching tour company. Any suggestions?

The best whale watching is with the Dolphin Fleet out of Provincetown. Places to stay depend on your price range, location wanted and interests.

The Portugese Princess out of Provincetown is also great. They have a reputation for seeing the most whales.

Since the best whale breeding grounds are off the tip of the Cape, Provincetown offers the best whale watching cruises. However, just about every town has whale watching cruises, they just take longer to get to the tip. As for nice areas to stay, in October you can have your pick. Provincetown is funky and cute, but not for everyone. Other nice towns include Chatham, Wellfleet, and Eastham.

I'd suggest Chatham, it is beautiful there! Stay downtown at the Cranberry Inn and dine at the Squire or Impudent Oyster. Both are walking distance from Cranberry Inn. Enjoy!!

I agree that the Dolphin tours are the best whale watches around. I am a native and have never had a better experience. I believe we took ours out of Provincetown.

another vote for the Dolphin Fleet Whalewatch out of P-town. we went at the end of July. i would stay in P-town also. great shopping, restaurants and scenery!

Agree with the Dolphin Fleet Whalewatch. We have done it two times and both times it was excellent (I was 7 1/2 month pregnant in hot August weather the first time and remember it very well!).

I would stay in the Outer Cape area, anywhere from Chatham to P'Town (prefer Chatham and Wellfleet). Brewster is also a nice town with some beautiful B&Bs, on the bay side instead of the ocean side.

The whale watch operators in PTown all do a fine job. With the weaather turning cool, schedules may be limited. Call first. If you are spending just a few days, you may want to stay in PTown and avoid driving all over the Cape.....it is a big place.... Try provincetown.com for info.....lots of fine B&Bs..... 18078 house is nice
