There are few things in the world more magical than seeing a whale in the wild. Perhaps it’s because you grew up watching the Disney classic, Free Willy. Or maybe it’s because whales are larger than the bus you took to school. Either way, whale watching isn’t an activity you’re able to do every day. Whether you’re spotting whales from the comfort of a ship or on the coastline, whale watching in Maine is always an enjoyable experience. To see these gentle giants for yourself, add our favorite whale watching tours to your list of things to do in Ogunquit, Maine.
