Virginia Beach Hotels - Oceanfront Whale Watching

Humpback Whale Season

Whale Watching Tours

It’s Humpback Whale migration time in Virginia Beach. Come stay in one of our Oceanfront Hotel Rooms and enjoy the show! If you want to get close and personal with wildlife tours then you may want to consider the Virginia Beach Aquarium’s Sea Adventures.

With almost three decades of experience, a Whales & Wildlife Sea Adventure aboard the Atlantic Explorer is an opportunity to see the ocean’s most magnificent creatures as they visit our coastal waters, while our enthusiastic educators help bring the ocean to life with items to see and touch. Staff and volunteers trained by Aquarium experts share an amazing program built upon the Aquarium’s own scientific research and conservation efforts, and collect data related to whale and dolphin sightings during each trip which contributes to federal and regional management of marine mammal populations and environmental assessments.
