whale watching
Marine mammal spotting
Whale watching is the activity of observing whales in their natural habitat, typically from a boat or coastal viewpoint.
It developed as a commercial tourism industry in the mid-20th century and now operates worldwide wherever whales migrate or feed: We went whale watching off the coast of Maine.
The term sometimes extends to watching dolphins and other cetaceans.
