California is a good state for viewing blue whales, particularly as they migrate in pairs from July




Whale watching is a hugely popular activity around the world, with the last survey suggesting that as many as 13 million people took part in 2008. The survey was conducted by the International Fund for Animal Welfare in 2009. North America has many places where a variety of whales can be seen, sometimes from land, but more often from a boat. The coast of Eastern Canada has perhaps the widest variety of the beautiful creatures to be seen with as many as 22 different species frequenting disneyland tickets way cheap these ice cold waters.
Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador are the places to see: Humpback whales, minke whales, fin whales, beluga whales and killer whales. One of the rarest to see there is the Sowerby s Beaked Whale.  Humpbacks usually reach Cape St Mary s ecological preserve disneyland tickets way cheap in early June, then continue up the coast in July and August, passing through Witless Bay, Trinity Bay and Notre Dam Bay before reaching disneyland tickets way cheap St Anthony in northern disneyland tickets way cheap Newfoundland in late August.
Given the wild nature and the vast distances involved, the best and safest way to see these magnificent creatures is through disneyland tickets way cheap a proper tour, but to help you get the most out of your stay you can collect disneyland tickets way cheap a hire car from Halifax Airport on Nova Scotia.  At Trip wheels we are happy to offer car hire from both Dollar and National from this location.
Further down the Eastern seaboard another excellent place to view whales as they migrate is Virginia Beach, Virginia. From December to mid-March humpbacks, fin whales and right whales disneyland tickets way cheap can be seen off the coast and during December huge pods of the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale can be seen migrating down to Georgia and Florida to calve.  These can often be seen just from the coast, or a tour can easily be taken. Trip Wheels can offer US car hire with Budget rent-a-car at Virginia Beach.
Over on the west coast, Seattle, Bellingham and the San Juan Islands offer a triangle of viewing opportunities for humpbacks, minke and gray whales along with orcas, both resident and transient.  Puget Sound is a very reliable place to view whales with successful viewings occurring over 95% of the time. You can easily hire a car here from Seattle Airport, or downtown Seattle if you only need a car for part of your vacation.
Continuing down the coast on US Hwy 101 from Washington state is the state of Oregon, where gray whales can be seen off the coast year round. You can hire cars through Trip Wheels from Portland, Eugene or Medford disneyland tickets way cheap if you follow the link on either menu.
California is a good state for viewing blue whales, particularly as they migrate in pairs from July to October. Humpbacks, sperm whales, gray whales and orcas are also frequently seen in the Pacific waters off the southern Californian coast. You could take a whale watching tour to the Farallon Islands off San Francisco to see humpbacks, blue and gray whales.  California is the perfect state to combine whale watching with beautiful National Parks like Yosemite, vineyards, snow sports or beaches!  To hire a car in California is pretty much essential if you want to see as much of this beautiful state as possible, and at Trip Wheels we have locations in Los Angeles, disneyland tickets way cheap San Francisco, San Diego as well as Downtown Disney, to name just a few of the many California car hire locations.
Right out in the Pacific Ocean is the humpback whale s play-park and breeding ground, also called disneyland tickets way cheap Hawaii! Every year around 6,000 humpbacks migrate to Hawaii (some years as many as 10,000) arriving from late October, peaking during February and March, and then by mid-May they are all gone again! Maui is the best island to see the whales, but tours from the different islands will be able to take eager viewers to see the visitors. Year round, dolphins, false killer whales and pilot whales can also be seen around the islands. Many people choose to visit the islands on arranged packages and tours, or via a cruise, but one can easily hire a car for a few days to have a little independence and to get off the beaten path. At Trip Wheels we have US car hire locations on Kauai, Maui, Molokai, Oahu and of course, at Hilo and Kona.
Compulsive about getting clients the best prices for the right car for their trip to the USA or Canada. It could be the trip of a lifetime, or frequent business travel - you still deserve the best, and I try my hardest to make that happen.
