Obviously, the best thing to do is whale watching from land. There are a lot of places in the world, where you can do just that with great comfort and really good chances of seeing whales. If you have to hop on a boat, make sure to choose a sustainable and responsible operator. Which means: It’s not about the money, it’s about the whales. A sensible and balanced whale watching trip will be safe, educational, enjoyable and always with great respect for the whales. Make your experience as rich as and the impact on the whales as small as possible. Which also means: Please never swim with whales, even if some of the pictures on Instagram look wonderful.
