Here are two cruise lines you might try for a sea mammal adventure.

Whale Watching & Dolphin Adventure Cruises depart from Riis Landing in Rockaway, Queens. According to the company, it is possible to see dolphins near Breezy Point jetty and whales further offshore at Ambrose Channel, the entrance to New York harbor.

"Tons of dolphins and whales every single day" says a Facebook post on Long Island AMAZING MOMS of Nassau and Suffolk by Veronica Denig-Lovari.

In Freeport, passengers can board The Atlantic Pearl with Capt. Lou’s Whale, Dolphin & Bird Watching Adventure Tours. A "whale sense" naturalist takes the journey with you and acts as an interpretive guide to the ecology and natural history of Long Island with the emphasis on whales and other marine life.

The trip affords the opportunity to see birds, dolphins, and whales, according to the company.
