We did see 3 humpback whales that allowed us to watch them for about an hour. But the boat was large and held over 200 passengers - made it difficult to view the sites as we had to share the space close to the sides of the boat with so many people,

Buy some of the acupuncture wristbands for motion sickness prevention before you go. They really work well, and you need them!

We were there in July, when it was quite warm in Bar Harbor, but we still needed heavy sweaters or jackets. I wish I had brought a wool hat.

Fabulous trip - Anna, staff naturalist, was wonderful. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, & passionate. Matt, our pilot, was also great - very skilled getting us close to the whales.
