Whale Watching Cruises in North Carolina
The first thing you should know about whale watching cruises in North Carolina is that they do not exist, a characteristic they share with whale watching cruises in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. None of these south eastern states have a whale watching cruise industry, and this holds true as far north as North Carolina. However, as is the case in these other states, there are some opportunities for whale watching, although the options are particularly limited in North Carolina. Read more […] -
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.

Whale Watching Cruises in Texas
Whale watching cruises in Texas do not, strictly speaking, exist, or if they do exist they resist being found. This is perhaps surprising given that so much of Texas borders on the ocean, or more precisely the Gulf of Mexico, and also that there are seemingly a lot of decent departure points for whale watching cruises from Texas’ coastal towns and cities. There are, however, some cruises that somewhat resemble whale watching cruises, and in fact these are exactly what come up with when you hunt for whale watching cruises in Texas, which is precisely what we’ve been trying to do this afternoon. Below we explain these offerings and explore why there don’t seem to be any whale watching cruises in Texas. Read more […] -
Whale Watching on the Pacific Coast of the United States: A Comprehensive Guide
Three states make up the Pacific Coast of the United States – California, Oregon, and Washington – and each one of these states has ample whale watching opportunities. Over the last couple of months, we have detailed the vast majority of whale watching cruises you can take along the Pacific Coast, listing almost all the cities from which you can set sail in California, Oregon, and Washington.
