Whale Watching Off the Coast of Maine

Rich Reo, owner of Reo Marine in S. Portland, Maine, set out last July with family and friends to view some spectacular sights off the coast of Maine. They were 60 nautical miles off the coast, about 2 hours out.

In New England and off the east coast of Long Island, the whale watching season typically takes place from about mid-spring through October, depending both on weather and precise location. It is here that the Northern Humpback Whale, Fin Whale, Minke Whale, and the very endangered North Atlantic Right Whale are often observed.

Here are some additional links for tips on safe whale watching and the best places to view whales all around the world.
