Whale-watching holidays & tours
You’ll always remember your first encounter with a whale: whether it’s the tail of a frolicking humpback or an orca breaching, it’s awe-inspiring. From freezing Polar wastesregions to tropical shores, we have chosen the best destinations for whale watching holidays on our cruises and tours.
Ranging from the Southern tip of Africa to Vancouver Island in Canada, our whale-watching holiday destinations also include California, New Zealand, the Azores and Hawaii. Our whale-watching tours find the best vantage points for spotting southern Right, Pacific Grey, Beluga, Humpback, Minke and Finback whales, orcas, porpoises and white-sided dolphins. On our whale-watching cruises you may also see other unique animals, such as penguins, puffins and giant sea turtles. On a whale watching cruise to the Galapagos Islands, you may also see exotic iguanas and blue-footed Boobies.
Our whale-watching tours take in some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes, from the mighty glaciers of Alaska to South Africa’s breathtaking Garden Route. Many of our whale watching holidays also offer the chance to explore fabulous cities like Cape Town and Vancouver.
With expert guides to help you make the most of these amazing opportunities, your whale-watching holiday will be a gigantic thrill.
