About this title

Synopsis

The Pacific teems with orcas, blues, humpbacks, grays, fins, dolphins, sea lions, and otters. And every year, hundreds of thousands of people take to commercial cruise lines, private boats, and shore locations to marvel at the magnificence of their annual migration.
This comprehensive guide offers the ultimate in whale and sea mammal adventure from Alaska to Mexico - with all the practical information watchers need: a complete listing of cruise operators, aquariums, and marine laboratories along the Pacific Coast; the best locations for onshore viewing; tips for wheelchair access on cruise boats, for taking the children along, for handling seasickness, and more; an illustrated field guide to the most popular species; and lively descriptions and explanations of whale behavior.
