Out Of The Blue - 2008

WDCS and out of the blue are delighted to offer a stunning program of responsible whale and dolphin watching vacations for 2008.

  • A Canadian live aboard adventure to see the orcas, eagles and totems of British Columbia.
  • The thrill of watching whales - including WDCS’s adopted humpback whales - in the waters off Cape Cod, New England.
  • An Alaskan Odyssey to see the ‘bubble net’ feeding behavior of humpback whales, grizzly bears fishing for salmon and majestic glaciers calving into mountain fjords.
  • Or, for the ultimate adventure, join whale expert and author, Erich Hoyt on the trip of a lifetime to Antarctica!
For 2008 we are again offering a fantastic range of vacations including our ever-popular New England Whale Watch (New England is truly one of the best places to see whales in all of the US) and a wonderful Canadian Odyssey to see the orcas, humpback whales and grizzly bears of British Columbia. Or, for the ultimate adventure, why not join whale expert and author, Erich Hoyt, on the trip of a lifetime to Antarctica!

Not all out of the blue trips are the same! They are, of course, all fun, however, some tours are more adventurous, some more relaxing; some have a stronger bias towards conservation work than others; some deal with one species, others with many; some charter boats for day trips, others are liveaboard holidays. There is enough variety in destinations and types to suit most tastes, interests, and of course budgets!
