Whale Watch Expedition - Fully Guided and Narrated

One of the whales you're likely to spot during a Boston Harbor Cruises Whale Watch is the humpback. These Northern hemisphere humpbacks reach an average length of 50 feet, and a weight of about 37 tons! Sadly, they're also among the most endangered, and it's estimated that only 8 percent of their original population remains.

The humpback got its name because of the way its back arches out of the water when getting ready to take a deep dive. "Megaptera" is its true scientific name, which means "large-winged", in reference to its long flippers.

Each Humpback has distinct black and white markings on its fluke (tail). Since no two flukes are alike, scientists use these markings to distinguish one humpback from another.

When humpbacks are leaping up into sight, we're sorry to say they're not doing it to put on a show for you. It's actually called "lunge feeding" - a method they use to plow through heavy areas of food with their mouths open wide and ready for catches. While you're taking pictures, they're dining on schooling fish like anchovies, cod and capelin.
