Summer is the perfect time to go on a whale watching adventure and Maine is the perfect place to go on one. Beginning in mid-April, a variety of species of whales arrive off the coast of Maine to feed and stay until October. A variety of hotels and resorts offer special Maine Vacation Packages and can help you set up you whale watching trip.
Humpback whales, pilot whales, minke whales and finback whales (which can grow up to 80 feet in length) are frequently found off the coast. Less frequently sighted, though still found, are Sei whales, sperm whales, orca whales and right whales.
Maine whales may be seen from a number of onshore sights with the help of a good set of binoculars. Bring a picnic, a comfortable chair, and spend the afternoon gazing off the rugged Maine coast in search of the whales. If you prefer a closer look, a variety of whale watching cruises are available – some even offer a money back guarantee if whales are not sighted.
Along with whales, the Maine coast is home to seals, dolphins, puffin, and a variety of other coastal creatures. Whale watching offers a great day for the whole family.
