Explore Boston Harbor’s Wild Side on a Winter Wildlife Cruise!

Think Boston Harbor is quiet in the winter? Think again! Bundle up, grab your camera and binoculars, and hop aboard a heated high-speed ferry for a Winter Wildlife Cruise like no other!
Offered in partnership with Boston Harbor Now and the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park, this unique adventure gives you a front-row seat to the incredible animals that call the harbor home during the colder months. You’ll cruise past the outer Harbor Islands, spotting everything from seabirds to seals, all while taking in the stunning winter landscape.
The best part? You won’t be navigating this wildlife wonderland alone! A team of expert naturalists—including reps from the National Park Service, New England Aquarium, and Mass Audubon—will be on board to help you identify and learn about the fascinating creatures you’ll see along the way.
And don’t worry about freezing out there—this high-speed ferry is equipped with plenty of indoor seating and refreshments available for purchase, so you can sip a hot cocoa while keeping an eye out for harbor seals sunbathing on the rocks.
Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a photography buff, or just looking for a fun winter adventure, this cruise is a must-do. Space is limited, so book your tickets now and get ready to see Boston Harbor in a whole new light!
