Aquatic Adventures ⏐ Whale Watching in Maine

If you’ve been longing for a relaxing, coastline vacation, then you’re in luck. Newagen Seaside Inn, located in Southport, Maine, offers everything you could want: gorgeous oceanside views, decadent dining, luxurious accommodations, and plenty of fun activities. We’re also a five-mile drive from the quintessential Midcoast Maine town, Boothbay Harbor. Plus, you’ll have ample opportunities to reconnect with nature. Trek one of the many fantastic trails around the area, reel in a few fish via surf or charter, or have the experience of a lifetime and go whale watching in Maine. 

Why Go Whale Watching in Maine?

If you’ve never embarked on a whale watching tour before, you’re in for a treat! No Boothbay Harbor vacation is complete without taking a few hours to admire some of the largest mammals on the planet. Mid-April through the end of October is the best time to book a whale watching tour near Newagen Seaside Inn. Keeping a keen eye out for our flippered friends is more than a spectator sport; it’s a surreal, nature experience you’ll never forget. While there’s a possibility you might squint a breaching whale somewhere in the distance from shore, it’s arguably much better to have a front-row seat to all the action. Plus, you’re bound to see a whole array of marine life, including seals, puffins, and dolphins. A few of the whales you might see include pilot whales, minke whales, finback whales (which grow up to 80 feet in length), sei whales, sperm whales, humpback whales, and orcas.
