The $77 package includes three days, two nights accommodations (breakfast included at some hotels) and admission aboard a two-hour Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center whale-watching boat trip, narrated by a trained Virginia Aquarium educator, while experienced volunteers show whale artifacts and answer questions. The package also includes admission to the Virginia Aquarium and its 3-D IMAX® Theater. Whale-watching gift certificates are available as well.
