Things To Remember During Whale Watching

By Claudine Hodges


The thought of being able to watch whales as they show their grace in diving can be fun. But if you do not prepare well, you may end up ruining the ideal experience. Therefore, if you want to get the best possible experience from the activity, you have to prepare.

The more people that comes with you on the trip, the more preparation you need. Your decision on this is highly dependent on what you need. Juneau Alaska whale watching for instance will be a good place to start if you are looking for places to consider on this kind of activity. Below is a list of top considerations you may want to include on your checklist.

First on the list is the area where you want to have the activity. There are areas that are great for watching whales. Meaning, these are places that where whales are often seen. Some of these areas may be far from where you are staying so a good way to start will be looking at forums online that talks about the activities. The likability of you, finding recommendation will be high.

Second, pack up some foods. This could range from snacks to lunch or picnic type of foods. Your choice of foods to pack should be dependent on the time of your watching. If it is early morning, then a pack of snacks will do. If you expect to watch until late afternoon, then perhaps a packed lunch is a great choice.

Three, is the weather condition. There are mobile apps at present that tells you about the condition of a certain area. Another option would be news forecast which you can now access online. A rough weather might be your preference for adventure but if the weather is not really that good, administrators of the whale watching service might not allow you to go out.

Fourth, are your gadgets. In the digital age where photos are more captivating than text, getting good shots will matter a lot especially for your social media account updates. Do not forget to carry with you your cameras and smartphones. If you come in groups, it will be good if each of you brings his own. This way, you will have more options.

Fifth, dress right. The temperature on the sea can be colder and hotter than on land so be sure youready yourself by wearing the right attire. Bring extra clothing just to be sure and do not forget your sunscreen and lotion. If you plan on wearing hat, ensure that you can attach it below your chin to prevent it from getting carried away by the strong wind.

Sixth is the unpredictable outcome. Unlike aquariums where you get to be entertained by the tricks that trainers do with dolphins, this activity is more plain. You watch whale. You cannot dictate when they should show up for you to take their photos. Recommended places offer greater possibility of you seeing what you came for. But do not get too hurt if you do not.

Enjoy a great time with the whales by being prepared. Call some friends to help you with the planning. Two heads are better than one. More so if all of you plan to do the activity together.
