Virginia Aquarium Winter Whale Watching From the Virginia Aquarium website: Here's a chance to see some of the most magnificent creatures on earth in their natural habitat! Whale watchers will search for humpback and fin whales off the coast of Virginia Beach. Each excursion is narrated by a trained Aquarium educator while experienced volunteers show whale artifacts and answer questions. A unique, exciting opportunity for entire families to experience. You may see brown pelicans, northern gannets, double-crested cormorants and other sea birds, all of which make a dramatic show while feeding on schools of fish. Local landmarks such as the historic Cape Henry Lighthouse, DeWitt Cottage and the Old Coast Guard Station may also be visible on some trips, as well as international shipping traffic and U. S. Navy maneuvers. Whale sightings are not guaranteed. The boat leaves at 9am, but I recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to purchase tickets as I'm not sure how quickly they may sell out. It is important to note that purchasing tickets is up to each individual! Tickets are priced at $28 per person. Please dress warmly and be ready for cold, windy weather. We can also go out to lunch together afterwards if there is any interest!
