Windjammer Day Trip in Camden Area
 
I'm looking for companies that will do day trips out of the area in and around Camden. It would be great if whale watching is also part of the adventure, but that doesn't appear to be the case with most. Any suggestions for mid-September?

We took an afternoon trip on Surprise, very well run and enjoyable.

Windjammers aren't particularly suited to whale watching as that involves the fastest possible trip out to the whaling grounds, then sitting there until they show. Windjammers are slow.

Thanks Ack,
Surprise is the one I was looking at, so it's good to know you enjoyed it. The explanation about the whaling trips makes sense...just never thought about it. Any chance of seeing puffins on the Surprise?

Too far south for that time of year, maybe ever. They like cold.

Oh well...there is a company that says they do whales and puffins out of Bar Harbor, but I don't want to take the time for a boat trip when I only have one full day for Acadia NP.
