Whale watching has 2 perfect seasons. Most travelers only book 1

Whale watching enthusiasts can enjoy humpback whales in two prime seasons: one during the summer in Alaska’s Inside Passage and another in the winter off Mexico’s Banderas Bay. These majestic creatures travel about 3,000 miles to feed in Alaska’s nutrient-rich waters and migrate south to breed and calve in Mexico. Travelers often miss out on this seasonal spectacle by only planning one trip, missing the chance to witness the whales' feeding and breeding behaviors in different environments. This highlights the importance of understanding seasonal migrations for those seeking optimal whale-watching experiences.
