Whale Watching Cruises in Cape May and New Jersey: A Guide
When you get as far north as New Jersey, or more specifically the city of Cape May, whale watching on the East Coast becomes more of a live option. South of New Jersey, there are a couple of scattered whale watching cruises, but most of the states along the East Coast have close to no whale watching cruise opportunities. New Jersey in particular doesn’t have a ton of opportunities, but there are two companies dedicated to whale watching cruises, both of which are in Cape May, and there are also a couple of ocean tours in New Jersey that are like whale watching cruises. A guide to whale watching in New Jersey is largely a guide to whale watching in Cape May, so we’ll focus on the cruises in this city, but we also include details about related cruises as well, one of which isn’t in Cape May.

Whale Watching Cruises in Delaware
Delaware is a relatively small state, and only a small section of it borders open ocean, so you might not think there are many opportunities for whale watching in Delaware, and in thinking this you would be right: there isn’t much whale watching activity in the state. However, it is nevertheless possible to whale watch, and there are even whale watching cruises that depart from Delaware. Below we detail what is and is not possible in terms of whale watching in Delaware. Read more […] -
Whale Watching Cruises for Right Whales
Like lots of endangered species, right whales have a passionate following, and every year people travel to states along the East Coast to try to catch a rare glimpse of one of the right whales migrating along the coast. Since whale watching cruises are a popular way to see whales, you might be wondering if there are whale watching cruises for right whales in particular. Unfortunately, there are not, and actually this isn’t really unfortunate because there are good reasons for the lack of right whale watching cruises (more on this in moment). Below we have compiled some information about right whales, as well as listed some information about seeing right whales since you can’t book a cruise to see one. Read more […] -
Whale Watching Cruises in Maryland
Although whales are periodically spotted off the Maryland coast, no whale watching cruises are offered in the state. It is of course possible to see a whale while on a boat off the coast of Maryland, and we suppose you could even rent a boat to this end, but there are no tour companies that offer whale watching cruises in particular. However, many people are probably looking for whale watching opportunities in Maryland – it borders the Atlantic Ocean, obviously, and there are lots of whale watching cruises north of the state – so we have compiled the following guide to whale watching in Maryland, noting what is, and is not, possible.

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.
