Whale Watching
In 2026, whale watching is defined by "Citizen Science" and "Acoustic Immersion." Travelers are moving away from passive viewing toward active conservation, using AI-powered apps like Whale Alert to report sightings that help mariners avoid ship strikes. The trend of "Silent Sighting" is peaking, with a preference for electric, low-noise vessels that allow for clearer hydrophone "listening sessions" of whale songs.
