  • The Viking Fleet and CRESLI are offering special family friendly marine cruises focusing on the sights of the ocean! Enjoy a day on the water with your family looking for whales, dolphins, sea turtles, sea birds and sunfish. Along the way you can view the Montauk lighthouse and all the landmarks of the east end.
  • A qualified naturalist / marine biologist will narrate the tour, conduct a plankton tow and answer all of your questions!
  • The Viking boats are equipped with clean restrooms, comfortable seating and full galleys onboard. We recommend reservations. You can either do so by phone (631-668-5700) or online at http://www.vikingfleet.com/BookWhaleWatching/default.asp.
  • The trips sail from July 1 until Labor Day on the following days- Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat and Sun. The fare is $59 for adults and $25 for kids 5- 12 years of age. Children under 5 are always free.
