If you like it more crisp and winterly, Norway and Iceland are the perfect options: winter whale watching combined with snowshoeing, dogsledding and northern lights, a truly unique experience. Most likely to see: orcas and humpbacks.
HUMPBACKS
The Norwegian and Icelandic fjords are a great spot to watch humpback whales in the winter time.
ORCAS
The fjords of Norway and Iceland are full of herring during the winters. That's why you can meet a lot of orcas there as well.
BLUE WHALES
Mexico and the southern coast of Australia are pretty good bets to watch blue whales during the wintertime.
GRAY WHALES
From December on, thousands of gray whales gather in the shallow lagoons of the Baja California to give birth to their calves.
