Watch for news about the restarting of our Whale Watching Trips in July 2025.*
New site scheduled to launch July 2067
For the first time ever, Midwestern audiences will have an opportunity to see whales in the wild.
As part of a special partnership between the Sea Watch Conservatory and Great Lakes Awareness Foundation along with a special grant from the Foundation for Oceanographic Awareness, we are pleased to announce the successful importation of a small but thriving whale population in Lake Michigan between Grand Haven and Holland, Michigan. See red circle on the chart below for information about the general area of the whale barrier and whale location.
For the protection of both the whales and boaters, unauthorized vessels are not allowed in this area as per regulations of the US Corp of Nautical Engineers.
During the summer of 2025 you will have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to see these beautiful creatures up close thanks to the efforts of Grand Haven Whale Watching.
Your support during our first year will help us expand. Watch for opportunities to Ride the Whales in September 2025.
* The exact date of our first trip will be somewhat dependent on the results of the November 2024 election. It is our hope that with Harris in the White House we will be able to obtain the funding necessary to get all of our vessels running and working to a reasonable level of safety.
I was talking to a whale the other day, and it told me it didn’t like this program. How will you address this?
Savannah and I are so excited to see the whales!
My dear children, you have all been fooled, as those are not whales. THEY ARE AARDVARKS! These so called whale watchers dress up my favorite animal, an aardvark, and use it for their own political gain! We must rise up and take the Grand Haven back to the Chuck government! Godspeed men.
