VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — It's that time of year when we see whales visiting Virginia Beach: peak whale watching season.
December through February, we can spot humpback, fin, minke, and North Atlantic right whales.
News 3 Meteorologist Kristy Steward spent some time with the team at Rudee Tours to learn how they help keep track of whales, how many tours see whales, and how the tours respect the whales’ space.
We also worked with our partners at The Virginian-Pilot and Daily Press on this story. You can read more from them about whale watching here.
