Cape Cod whale watching and seal watching excursions are among the most thrilling spring activities for nature enthusiasts, with the 2026 season officially kicking off in mid-April. Most tours depart from Provincetown or Barnstable Harbor, heading toward the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, a world-renowned habitat for humpback, fin, and minke whales. For those interested in seal sightings, the sandbars around Chatham and Monomoy Island provide a unique opportunity to observe these playful marine mammals in their natural environment. Choosing a home base in Dennis or Dennis Port allows for easy travel to these departure points while providing a peaceful retreat at the end of a day on the water. Selecting Cape Cod beachfront rentals ensures you stay close to the shoreline, offering spectacular ocean views that complement your marine life adventures.
