Kennebunk Whale Watching Tour Offers Close Encounters in the Gulf of Maine


A four hour offshore whale watching excursion departing from Kennebunk is giving visitors an immersive journey into the rich marine ecosystem of the Gulf of Maine. Designed for small groups of just 21 passengers, the tour provides uninterrupted views of open waters while moving far beyond crowded coastal areas into prime whale habitats.


The route includes scenic passage past Boon Island Lighthouse and nearby rocky ledges populated by large colonies of seals. These coastal landmarks and marine gatherings set the stage for an ocean experience defined by both natural beauty and wildlife activity, enhancing the sense of exploration throughout the voyage.


The Gulf of Maine is known for its seasonal concentration of marine mammals, with frequent sightings of humpback, fin, and minke whales, alongside dolphins and harbor porpoises. On occasion, guests may also encounter rarer species such as blue, sperm, or pilot whales, often surfacing close enough to create striking viewing moments at sea.


Throughout the journey, expert guides provide live narration on whale behavior, migration patterns, and conservation efforts in the region. With a strong success rate for sightings and a return-trip guarantee if no whales are observed, the excursion combines scientific insight with adventure, offering both reassurance and an unforgettable ocean experience.

Had a great time taking this tour—saw lots of whales. Casey and Jill were great tour guides. Note that if you are going to park in the strip mall lot that has a Safeway and Long Drugs, park on the south end of the lot to walk to the boat. Also, the boat leaves promptly at the time of the tour so get there early to park and find your way to boat. My only disappointment is that I did not get to ride a whale, but to be fair I was not promised that.

"We went out with Ultimate Whale Watch on Christmas Day and it was easily the best experience we've had. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable—we learned so much about the whales while watching them in action. It was a wonderful, high-quality day on the water. Highly recommended for anyone in Maui!"

GO GO GO! The 2 hr whale tour was amazing and I had so much fun! We saw so many whales & Derek & Kat were so nice and fun! I will 10/10 go again and recommend to everyone I know! They were so informative and I also leaned so much during the tour. They use ticket sales to help fund whale rescue endeavors- LOVE that! Thanks guys! 10/10 🐋🌈🌺 -Alana Greene
