Whale watching is a very popular activity for visitors to Bar Harbor. What can you see while whale watching off the coast of Bar Harbor? How about playful Humpback whales, and the big Finback whales (50 to 60 feet) that are some of the fastest whales in the ocean. You can also see Minke and Right whales in the Gulf of Maine.
Not satisfied with just whales, well you might also spot a dolphin, seal, shark, or tuna. Whale watching can be a fun and memorable experience for the entire family.
The Bar Harbor Whale Watch Company offers several different whale watching excursions as well as nature and sightseeing cruises, and lighthouse tours.
