If the very thought of going out in a small boat makes you feel queasy but you would still love to see whales and dolphins close up, don’t despair. There are many places in the world where you can view whales and dolphins while keeping your feet on solid ground.

Hermanus in South Africa is so famous for the southern right whales which come right up to the beach that the town employs a whale crier who walks through the town announcing their presence! In Albany, Western Australia, both humpback and southern right whales come close to the shore for calving from June to October. Migrating whales travel along the coasts of Tasmania and New Zealand, where they can be seen right from the beaches. Over two-thirds of the world’s population of humpback whales visits the warm waters off the Hawaiian islands every winter.

Closer to home, whales have been spotted in recent years sporting in New York and Boston harbor waters. The beaches of eastern Canada provide the landbound whale watcher with 22 different species of whales and dolphins to admire. On the Pacific coast, killer whales cruise the coastline off the San Juan islands on a daily basis.The information party rocks on: Travel : Watching Whale in Sydney
