Our Love for Whales (and Why We’ll Always Follow Them)

At CASCO Travel, there’s something about whales that speaks directly to our hearts. Maybe it’s their size—so massive, so ancient—or the way they move with quiet grace through the vastness of the ocean. Maybe it’s the way they remind us that magic is real, and that sometimes, the most extraordinary things are just beneath the surface.

Wherever we go, we find ourselves pulled toward the sea, hoping for a glimpse of a tail flick, a spray on the horizon, or the stillness that comes from being near these gentle giants.

We love whales not just for their beauty, but for what they represent:

  • Wonder: You never forget the first time you see one. It’s humbling. It’s thrilling. It wakes something up inside you.

  • Presence: Watching whales forces you to slow down. To scan the horizon. To wait. And then to gasp.

  • Connection: Whether you’re with friends, family, or total strangers, spotting a whale always feels like a shared gift. For a moment, everyone’s looking in the same direction.

Why Whales Show Up in Our Trips

You’ll notice that whales pop up again and again in our travel stories—especially in places like Iceland, Baja, and the Pacific Northwest. That’s no accident.

We build whale-watching and marine encounters into our itineraries not because it’s trendy, but because it brings people closer to the wild, the awe-inspiring, and the deeply meaningful.

We believe travel should stir your soul—and nothing does that quite like seeing a whale rise from the water, just long enough to remind you how small and lucky we are.

So yes, we chase whales. We follow their paths. And we always make room for wonder—on the water, and in ourselves.

Come chase the wild with us.
