What You Should Bring on a Whale Watching Cruise
Cruises are a great way of seeing whales. Many popular itineraries go straight through whale territory, so you’ll have a good chance of spotting the large marine mammals. But simply booking a cabin on the cruise isn’t enough to swing the odds in your favor. If you really want to maximize your whale spotting abilities, you’re going to want to have the right gear. Luckily, whale watching isn’t rocket science. (Just as luckily, it’s also not really marine biology either.) As long as you have the bare necessities, you should be ready to tick “seeing a whale” off your bucket list. Read more […] -

Whale Watching on the Atlantic Coast of the United States: A Comprehensive Guide
There are an enormous number of whale watching cruises along the East Coast of the United States, but they aren’t distributed evenly. Some places are basically meccas of whale watching, whereas others are surprisingly void of any whale watching opportunities. Over the course of a couple of months, we tried to dig up every whale watching cruise company on the Atlantic Coast. We wrote articles on a state-wide level, but as the whale watching opportunities increased as we headed north, we started writing about not only states, but individual cities and towns. It’s impossible to say if we included every single company that offers whale watching cruises on the East Coast – almost certainly not, as it is likely that at least some outfits remained hidden from our searches – but what follows is pretty close to a comprehensive guide.
