Provided by YPmobileThey really need to update their website!!! I came all the way up from NYC to go on a whale watch, only to see a sign "closed for the season" on their door. Their website says they have daily runs at 2pm up to Oct 31st. I was there Oct 19th!!! I'm really disappointed. I'll be going to Boston for my future whale watches and not Portland.

Provided by YP.comIt cost nearly $190 for our family of four to spend a mid-July day out on the ledges looking for whales and porpoises which failed to appear. At least we got to see a number of pelagic birds and the occasional dabblings of tuna feeding at the surface, but on the whole it was a tremendous waste of time and money. You're probably better off going in August. (A movie filmed on nearby Cliff Island was called "The Whales of August", not "The Whales of July".) After getting skunked, I thought they might offer us some kind of credit towards another excursion, but all we got from the captain over the loudspeaker was, "Sorry folks, don't forget to tip your deck hands as you disembark". My best advice would be to not go on the Odyssey, but make the drive to Gloucester, MA, and go on a whale watch with Cape Ann Whale Watch; they guarantee you will have whale sightings or you get a free season pass. My wife and I saw dozens of whales when we went there a number of years ago.
