We have put a lot of thought into this so our whales (coming soon sharks and dolphins) can be as healthy as possible. Every day we add a bit more salt and work for the proper pH. It takes a lot of chemicals but this is the age of better living through chemistry. It is an amazing time we live in. Thanks for your concern. Please come out to see the whales on one of our excursions or safely from shore. Please do NOT attempt to take your own boat out to see the whales. It is simply too risky.

Hate is not welcome here. Try to open your mind. Just because you have not seen something with your own eyes does not mean it is not true. Let’s have more love and more open minds.

What do you mean by fake? Please tone down the hate. Fake is often used as a trigger word by those who are not willing to explore things that are uncomfortable to them. Love the whales and hate the hate. Please be part of the solution. Whales are cool.

Hello Freddie and Deloris,

It is good to hear from you. I am sorry that Mary is not available. She is at helping to reinstall the catwalk on the Grand Haven pier today. I look forward to hearing that horn once you make it up this way. We are looking for a musical horn for the S.S. Guppy. If you are interested in selling the horn, let us know. We could set up a trade for two tickets for our test cruise at 2:00 a.m. on June 1. We are making the early morning run to avoid getting stopped by the Ottawa County Marine Patrol. They seem to have it out for us ever since they heard that some of our guests end up having to bail during some of our cruises.

By the way, if you ever find this beauty, please let us know. We would like to put our guests up in the air on the Ski Cat.

We would love to have you join us on one of our salting expeditions. During these special tours we allow guests to be part of the salting process. Please contact our office to reserve your spot.

Thanks for your question. We are watching this story carefully. While we do not feel there is a real threat from Russia, we are concerned that Wisconsin may try to infiltrate our herd in an effort to better understand what is happening on the happy side of the lake. We can not fully disclose our counter efforts, but we do take the threat from Wisconsin very seriously. If you have any direct questions about how we are fighting off this misuse of marine life, feel free to email our newly hired director of marine counter intelligence Vladimir Горбунков Brezhnev. He is leading our efforts and has assured us there is nothing to worry about related to Russia. He says just keep your attention on Wisconsin.

Mary and Joey are not available this week, so I am answering your post on their behalf.

While we would love to send you some brochures, you forgot to include your email address. It sounds like you are just the type of person we would love to work with.

Please join our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/Grand-Haven-Whale-Watching-928209533856332 and roar all you want. Thanks for your support.

Hello Liam,

Thanks for taking time to write. Let me start off by saying I don’t think I am your bruh.

Why do you think this site is fake? Please don’t be a hater. It is better to have an open mind and understand that not everything you learned in school is always correct. Keep your mind and heart open and find your way to understanding that whales have a real place in our society and in our precious Lake Michigan. I hope you will find it in your hear to believe.

Please don’t be so closed minded. I assume you also think the Village of Spring Lake’s Facebook page is fake as well?

You rode the whales in your library class? We would love to see pictures. Please send them along and we will try to post our favorites here. Thanks for taking time to ride the whales with your library class.

It is great to hear from you. We also love our whales. While we raise our Lake Michigan Whales primarily for educational purposes, we plan to increase our herd to a size where we can start supplying whale nuggets and whale steaks for sale at the new Norm’s Ice Cream stand on the east side of town. If you know of anyone at Butch’s, we are trying to reach them to talk about offering a Whale Burrito. Unfortunately, they won’t return our calls.

That was true until we came along. Please open your mind and heart to the lovely Lake Michigan whales. Take time to learn more by visiting us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Grand-Haven-Whale-Watching-928209533856332

Please don’t. Watch them, pet them, love them … but don’t slap them.

We are pleased to offer a wide selection of root beer. Options include: DAD’s, Fanta, Hires and Town Club.

As for popcorn, we had to eliminate popcorn from tour. Unfortunately, we found the butter was an irritant to whale skin. We have decided to replace popcorn with chocolate covered pretzels from the new Miss Lisa’s ice cream stand in Ferrysburg.

I am sorry, we are not familiar with the phrase “global warming”. However, we can tell you that GHWW is actively asking parents to not let their kids pee in the lake while they are swimming. We are concerned the number of swimmers at the Grand Haven State Park beach last year caused a slight increase in the water temperature resulting in additional moodiness among the male whales.

We are glad you find our site interesting and hope you will join one of our tours soon. We hope to have all of our excursion vessels patched and ready to go by June. The biggest problem is finding enough unemployed welders. We are hoping for an economic downturn that will result in more available skilled laborers.

It was a pleasure having you on board. Nice comments like your message here makes it all worth it.

We hope you will be able to join us again later this year. We are thinking about adding alligators and tuna to the tour.

Hello Dab,

You sound like just the sort of person we are looking to for. We have been trying to get our whales to hold more air in their lungs without much success. We would like to start a respiratory therapy program for our fresh water whales in partnership with the Michigan State University vet program.

We really appreciate your kinds words. Our business depends on satisfied customers like yours.

By the way, we are sorry about that leak in our boat on the day of your tour. More than 48% of the time the tours complete without any leaks or accidents. Thanks for your understanding.

Hello Jesse. We are looking forward to having you join us this year watching the majestic whales of Lake Michigan. Please buy your tickets now. If you wait until after we pass our safety inspection, prices will certainly be higher. The savings is worth the risk.

Frank,
We loved having your family join us. While we regret the leak during your trip, we appreciate your good attitude as you and your family swam toward shore. It is our hope the experience was even a greater adventure because of this situation.

Miss having you around this semester.

You seem to have a lot of knowledge about the topic. Are you an oceanographer? Please consider joining our team. You can find out more information about available openings by visiting the Staff Directory under the About Us menu item.

What makes you think so? Are you an oceanographer? In any case, thanks for your comments and we look forward to seeing you on one of our future tours. Please join us soon.

Please join one of our tours. That is the easiest way to see the whales. We look forward to having you join us soon.

Sorry for the confusion. This is not Sea World. This is Grand Haven Whale Watching.

Please don’t joke about our whales. They are a bit sensitive.

Great questions. These whales are big ones. For legal reasons, we can not tell you the exact species. The best way to find out is to come to join us on one of our tours. Once we get all of the holes repaired in our boats we will be ready to start tours again. Be sure to spread the word and be part of this great new adventure.

Thanks for the encouragement. We are spending the winter repairing holes in our boats and settling lawsuits from a couple of last year’s mishaps. Besides that things are going great.
