    First of all, we were looking for something that wouldn't take all day like the whale watch cruises…read moredo, and as I got to choose the activity, I chose seal watching. I was on this tour about 20 years ago prior to the reappearance of the sharks and wanted to see if there would be a noticeable difference in the population. We made our reservation online a couple days before our trip (so easy) so it was easy peasy once we showed up. They were very good with communication as our trip was moved up to an earlier time and they let us know promptly. Knowing the area we weren't worried about getting lost and being late for the cruise but if you aren't familiar with the cape don't worry, it's super easy to find. We showed up at the requested time and were quickly boarded. It was a brisk cape day but if you NOT a polar beast (like me) and you go off season you will want to remember that it gets chillier on a boat steering into the wind than it will be on shore....dress appropriately. We started off and the captain gave all safety instructions as well as some points to notice as we pulled out of the harbor. It is a bit of a trek to Monomoy island from the harbor, but along the way the guide and the captain would chime in with what we could see. Then...quite suddenly...there they were. The largest congregation grey seals in North America. Grey seals don't "bark", they "moan" so it's very haunting. When they noticed us, there was a stampede on the beach of the younger individuals to be part of the welcoming party. The guide said that the older bigger seals are bored with us and couldn't be bothered to stop sunning themselves. We had adorable little heads popping up left and right studying us like we studied them. After a while it was time to bid farewell to those adorable squishy bodies and off we went on a bit of a tour of nearby harbors. At several points the captain would stop and we would be educated about the area and things like how erosion affects these areas and how it's all part of the parks landscape to protect not just seals but birds. I can honestly say as a nature geek I was in heaven. The tour is not too expensive and completely worth every single cent. Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable to answer most of my questions. Sadly, it was too early in the season for sharks and orcas...so no predation occured. Sigh. I say this is one of the best excursions offered on the Cape and if you are a nature geek as well then it should rank high on your bucket list!

    It was SUCH a good time! If you like boats and sight seeing this is the trip! I'd advise bringing…read morebinoculars because you never know what you'll come across!
