Alaska Whale Watching: Where to Go and Planning Tips

Every spring, tens of thousands of humpback and gray whales travel from the warm waters of Hawaii and Mexico to spend the summer months feeding in Alaska’s nutrient-rich waters – making Alaska one of the best places on earth to view whales in the summer. Alaska’s oceans are prime habitats for over a dozen species of whales, from one of the smallest: the beluga whale, to the largest animal on the planet: the blue whale. Learn more about how you can see Alaska’s whales, including where to go and when to see them.
