Island Packers Gray Whale Watching is offering whale-watching cruises in the Channel Islands, off of the coast of Santa Barbara, for prime viewing until about mid-April and we think you should definitely take a journey with them if you’re in the area.

Channel Island Cruises
Channel Island cruises are exciting small-ship cruises that take passengers around the beautiful Channel Islands, off the coast of Santa Barbara in California. These cruises are perfect for those who want to enjoy day trips to gorgeous islands where land exploration, kayaking, and snorkeling are possible.

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.

As we've said of all the other Hawaiian Islands, Lanai is a great place to whale watch. There are so many whales around the Hawaiian Islands that you can spot them from the shore with some regularity, but in order to get the best views, you'll have to take a whale watching cruise.

To help you find the right cruise, we've compiled the following guide to whale watching from Lanai. Read more [...]
Whale Watching Cruises from Molokai, Hawaii: A Guide
Every Hawaiian Island is a great place to whale watch, and this includes Molokai. Perhaps because of its relatively small size and modest population, however, there aren't that many whale watching cruises, in extreme contrast to some of the other Hawaiian Islands. But of course it is the quality and not the quantity of whale watching cruises on Molokai that matters, and the quality is certainly high because Hawaii is one of the best places in the world to see whales. Below we list the companies that offer whale watching cruises from Molokai, as well as provide a basic overview of whale watching in Hawaii. Read more [...]
