Each year various whale species make their migration from the cold waters near Alaska to warmer conditions. Right now, we are in the midst of fantastic whale watching opportunities in different locations along the Pacific.
The whale watching season for gray whales is about to begin in Mexico! This species makes a round trip of around 12,400 miles, making it one of the longest migrations by any mammal. During their February-March visit to Baja, the gray whales calve and nurse in the shallow lagoons. These grounds are protected by strict Mexican environmental and ecological legislation, and they provide a unique setting in which to observe this natural event. Having access to both the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez, Mexico tours give travelers more opportunities to encounter these majestic creatures.

Each winter, more than 6,000 humpback whales migrate to the warm waters around the Hawaiian Islands. Here, the humpback whales mate, give birth, and care for their young until it is time to depart. Hawaii's whale watching season begins in November, peaks in February and March, then concludes by mid-May. By that time, almost all of the whales have migrated back to their feeding waters off Alaska. Whales can be seen from shore from some locations on the islands, however ships offer the best observation point. Check out which small ship cruise to Hawaii might be perfect for you here.

I selected Adventure Travel as I was not satisfied with the responsiveness of the agent for the cruise I was trying to book and it had good recommendations. So far, I am quite happy with my agent, Betty, very responsive and accommodating.
