Boat was comfortable and had an undercover part for inclement weather. When we did see some wildlife, which wasn’t until we were half way through the tour, the captain turned the boat so everyone had a good view. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487f1771d4ce294f:0x6a22d6ca9a81a0fc!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** 14 Saint Ann's Staith, Whitby, YO21 3PW [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=54.4872861%2C-0.6140234) **Category** Boat Tours & Cruises **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (79 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Good for children** Yes **Destination** Whitby [More attractions in Whitby](https://staycation.co.uk/whitby/attractions) ★ 4.6 (79 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.whitbywhalewatching.net?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [07941 450381](tel:07941450381) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Whitby **Postcode** YO21 3PW **Payment** Cards **Plus Code** 9C6XF9PP+W9 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487f1771d4ce294f:0x6a22d6ca9a81a0fc!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487f1771d4ce294f:0x6a22d6ca9a81a0fc!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487f1771d4ce294f:0x6a22d6ca9a81a0fc!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Whitby Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
