Encounter With Whale Watchers

Whale watching is an important business in many spots along the coast from Alaska to the lagoons of northern Mexico. These activities can increase boat noise and human interactions for nearby whales.

Whale watching along the migration route may disturb the whales and affect their behavior. Sometimes gray whales change course and alter their swimming speed and respiratory patterns when followed by whale watching boats.

Choose the location/method the whale watchers are using:

Watch From the Shore

Watch From a Commercial Boat

Watch From a Private Boat
