Gill Sinclair's Whale & Dolphin Watching Blog

My passion for travelling the world to watch wild mammals started with a whale-watching trip to the Bay of Fundy in 1999. Since then I've seen over 30 different species of cetacean (whale, dolphin and porpoise) in almost 30 locations around the world. A successful whale-watching trip depends on being in the right place at the right time with the right operator, so I've made this blog to share my experiences and help others plan their travels. All images are (c)Gill Sinclair 1999 to 2023.
