Whale Watching Cruises in New York: A Guide
New York is known for many things, but one of them isn’t whale watching. However, thousands of people take whale watching cruises from New York every year, and in fact whale watching has become increasingly popular in New York thanks to a rising whale population off the coast. There is, as far as we can tell, only one whale watching company that operates out of New York – American Princess Cruises, which offers the “Whale and Dolphin Watching Adventure Cruise” – and they only operate out of one part of New York City: Riis Landing, which is on the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens.

Whale Watching Cruises in South Carolina: A Guide
As is the case with the other states located on the southern end of the East Coast, there are no whale watching cruises in South Carolina. There simply aren’t enough whales in this area to support an industry for whale watching cruises, in stark contrast to the situation along essentially all of the Pacific Coast. However, there are still whale watching opportunities in South Caroline from the shore thanks to the right whale migration, and there are also cruises that focus on seeing other forms of marine life. Thus, you can whale watch in South Carolina, as well as take a cruise to see marine animals, but you can’t take a cruise to see whales specifically. Below we outline the alternatives. Read more […] -
