As I mentioned in my "Who we are" post, I would like to do a trip this year where I can see whales from a kayak. This is apt to be a secondary vacation for me this year, so it needs to be, somewhat, low budget. That limits it pretty much to the northeast coast of the US and, maybe, Canada. So, Where, With who, and When? Anyone have advice? (West coast advice is welcome as well, but it is not too likely that I'll manage that this year. But you never know.)

I have two suggestions to see whales in the NE. One is in Mass. There is an outfitter called Adventure Learning that will transport you and a kayak to either Jeffries or Stelllwagen Banks off Mass and let you paddle around with the big boys for 3 or so hours. We did it a few years ago and it was worth the $ I have also heard stories of the whales getting close to Provincetown off Cape Cod but that is chancy. The other "sure thing" is to drive up to Quebec and either paddle in the Saquenay River, or in one of the bays near Tadoussac and see belugas, minke, fin, etc etc. Its well worth the trip!
