I went on a whale watch trip last August.  I think the price was more like $15
from Barnstable Harbor on Cape Cod.  The whales were fairly easily found, but
rather hard to see -- mostly large black rubbery spots in the water, though
if one is lucky, one might come realy close or jump up.  The trip was about
2.5 hours -- an hour each way getting to the whaling area, and 30 minutes of
actual spotting.  It wasn't a bad trip, but if you want a good look at a whale,
go to an aquarium.  It is cold out in the bay -- dress warmly, even in summer.
Binoculars are helpful.
