go whale watching

I love animals of all kinds, therefore of course I think whales, porpoises and dolphins are beautiful! So I’ve always wanted to go whale watching but ever since this book I read once, I don’t really want to go on one of the really touristy whale watching tours. What I would love to do is go kayaking in the ocean early in the morning with a guide and experience the whales that way :)

One of the best trips I have ever taken was to Maui early March where I saw tons of whales right off the beach every day breeching up out of the water. I thought I was in a National Geographic movie. I went horseback riding up in the pineapple plantation fields and hills and even from up there I could see the whales…they are that big! So amazing! So healing! I don’t know why but definitely healing…

Is about $2,000. I guess this would probably be the best for a honeymoon.

It looks like price ranges are from $150 to $450 for private charter

in Southern CA when I was there last week but there were 20 foot waves that day so it wasn’t the best day to go. Hopefully the next time will work out a little better.

Oh, how beautiful !!!!

Light love & harmony to all whales & dolphins & all animals on the planet.

I’d like to go whale watching someday – hopefully sooner than later :)

We went to Cape Cod for a long weekend and decided to try whale watching. I have a fear of water I cant touch the bottom. But I heard this experience was too amazing to miss. So we went.

We only saw 5, but one swam under the boat and when he came up, his tail came up at the very end of the boat. We were all so stunned I dont think any of us got pictures. His tail fanned at the back of the boat and I thought I was going to cry. It was truly one of the most amazing things that I ever had a chance to experience. They are so large, but so graceful, so gentle. To know that we share the earth with such creatures makes you do everything you can to try to protect it. They could have swam away, but they swam right to our boat and put on the most magnificant show I have ever seen.

I missed out on the opportunity to do this twice this last year, also once as a child. If my school does any trips to it next year I’ll go.

I was in South Africa 5 years ago and spent many an hour watching whales breach in the ocean from my friends garden. It was just beautiful.It was such a majestice and spiritual sight to have seen I’ve never forgotten the feeling it left me with. I vowed I’d return to S.A one day to Cape Town ( one place I haven’t seen) and travel to Hermanus Bay. This is where the whales travel to to give birth to their calves. My brother lives in S.A now so think I will tie this in on one of my visits.
