When is the best time for Whale Watching?

Whale watching is a breathtaking experience that varies beautifully with the seasons and the destination. In the crisp winter months, Northern Norway’s dramatic fjords come alive with humpback whales dancing through the icy blue. Summer brings unforgettable encounters in Iceland and the Azores, where sperm whales and minke whales surface under glowing midnight skies.

Tropical destinations like Madeira, Mauritius, and Réunion Island offer magical whale watching experiences in warm, crystal-clear waters almost all year long, perfect for those seeking close encounters in a sun-drenched setting.

Wherever you choose, nature offers a front-row seat to some of the ocean’s most majestic marine creatures. If you have any questions or would like help finding the perfect whale watching adventure, Manawa’s friendly Customer Service team is always here to guide you.
