There’s always a chance you’ll encounter a whale while out on your boat, but the odds are against that (and if you do, you’ll need to maintain a safe distance). It’s more pleasurable to take a whale-watching cruise led by a captain who knows where the whales, dolphins, and sea turtles hang out, accompanied by a marine mammal or biology professor.
The Viking Fleet and the Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island, Inc. (CRESLI) offer family friendly marine cruises aboard the Viking Starship Wednesdays and Sundays from 2:00 -7:00 pm through September 4, 2022.
