This may not be Moby Dick, but this whale sure knows how to flaunt it.
Ahab pursued one. Jonah was swallowed by one. Nowadays, millions of people hop on a boat or gather on shore just to see one. Indeed, whales, those mammoth sea creatures that roam the ocean deep from the tip of South Africa to the edges of the Arctic, continue to capture our imagination and fill us with awe. Our ten favorite whale-watching destinations will help you spot the best of them all year long, and have a whale of a time doing it, too.
