But do you know about the amazing [Bermuda](https://www.gotobermuda.com/) whale watching experiences available? During the thick of whale migration season, which occurs each year between March and April, nearly 10,000 humpback whales pass through Bermuda’s waters. That’s right: the island isn’t just a favorite vacation destination for people. ## Bermuda as a Whale Capital? Many often forget that Bermuda is smack dab in the North Atlantic. The island is about 600 miles perpendicular to the coast of North Carolina. Additionally, it's located in the crossways of a major migratory path. Even more interesting, local marine biologists have seen an uptick in humpback numbers over the years and are finding them in some shallower areas where they seem to be relaxing or resting. ## Bermuda Whale Watching Eagle-eyed visitors can spot whales coming to the surface from various vantage points from Bermuda’s shore. But the best way to experience humpbacks is to head for the open seas on a whale watching trip. You’ll sail miles out to spot humpbacks from the deck or, in some cases, through a glass-bottomed hull. Bermuda’s sparkling turquoise waters are even more crystal clear than usual in the spring, which means superb visibility (up to 100 feet below the surface). Companies and organizations that offer Bermuda whale watching trips include: the  [Island Tour Centre](https://www.gotobermuda.com/profile/island-tour-centre/994),  [Fantasea Diving & Watersports ](https://www.gotobermuda.com/profile/fantasea-diving-watersports/955)and  [Blue Water Divers & Watersports](https://www.gotobermuda.com/profile/blue-water-divers-watersports/785).

Take an excursion to Trunk Island (a “Living Classroom” owned by the Bermuda Zoological Society) and/or Nonsuch Islands to see  [cahows](https://www.gotobermuda.com/list/4-bermudas-most-amazing-birds).
