When is the prime time for Whale Watching in Alaska?
I’m going the last week of May and I would like to know if Whale Watching is a convenient activity or if I should trade it off for Bear Watching.
Thanks…
I’m not sure where in the state you are going, but whales will probably be easier to spot than bears in May. The salmon do not spawn the fresh water until June. This is when the bears come out in large numbers. In south east, you will definitely see both whales and bear; even in May. Cook Inlet/Turnigan Arm there is fewer sightings.
