Seeing whales in the wild can be an intense experience. These mighty, mysterious mammals really defy appropriate description, and seeing them up close is almost certain to be moving, memorable, and magical.
There’s something truly extraordinary about seeing an animal that large just going about its business, with little to no regard for you–an astonished audience.
Whales have been hunted for centuries. As a result, half of the 13 great whale species in the world are endangered and at risk of extinction. Nevertheless, as long as you are in the right place and at the right time, there are plenty of places where you can still see these extraordinary creatures in their natural habitat.
