Swamp Cruises in Mississippi
If you are interested in nature and find yourself near the coast in Mississippi, a swamp cruise is a natural possibility to explore. However, since Mississippi’s coastline is relatively short, and since the swamp lands in the state are somewhat limited, there are not many different swamp cruise options to choose from, in contrast to a place like Louisiana. What options exist we detail, though, and we also give a brief overview of what to expect when you take a Mississippi swamp cruise. Read more […] -
Whale Watching Cruises in the Gulf of Mexico
For the last week or so, we’ve been writing about whale watching cruises in the Gulf of Mexico, or rather we’ve been writing about the lack of whale watching cruises in the Gulf of Mexico. Searches for whale watching cruises in all the states along the Gulf of Mexico turned up essentially nothing, so if you are hoping to whale watch in the Gulf of Mexico, you’re basically out of luck. However, we’ve unearthed some good alternatives to whale watching in the Gulf of Mexico, which we detail below, and we also offer some speculation as to why whale watching doesn’t seem to exist in the Gulf of Mexico.

Whale Watching Cruises in Mississippi
The focus of this article is negative. We focus not on something, but on the lack of something, namely, the lack of whale watching cruises in Mississippi. As far as we can tell, there are in fact no whale watching cruises in the entire Gulf of Mexico. There are whales in the Gulf of Mexico, so you might think that you’d be able to sail out to see them from a departure point in a place like Mississippi, but these Gulf whales are evidently quite hard to see, so there are no cruises that are designed to enable whale spotting. Mississippi is, in short, not a good place for whale watching, but below we explore some possible alternatives, such as they are, to whale watching in the state, although these may not satisfying those looking to go whale watching.

Whale Watching Cruises in Alabama
You may not think of Alabama as much of a place for whale watching, and that’s because it isn’t. Indeed, as far as we can tell, there are no whale watching cruises whatsoever that operate out of Alabama, and the same is true of all of the states that border the Gulf of Mexico. However, thanks to the coastal towns of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, there are some alternate activities in Alabama that may appeal to the type of person who is interested in whale watching, and below we detail these possibilities. There may not be whale watching cruises in Alabama, but there are things like whale watching cruises in Alabama, and we suppose that is better than nothing. Read more […] -
Whale Watching Cruises in Louisiana
There are no whale watching cruises in Louisiana. Normally, we would shy away from such emphatic language, and we suppose there could be some hidden whale watching cruise that operates somewhere along the Louisiana coast, but by all indications there are simply no whale watching cruises in Louisiana. There do not even appear to be whale watching opportunities in any form whatsoever. We will therefore be brief in this article, as there is very little information to convey about whale watching cruises in Louisiana apart from the fact that they don’t exist. Read more […] -
