When: July, August & September
Humpback whales travel up to 8,5,00 km every year to reach tropical waters to mate and give birth to their young. Join us to witness these giants of the sea up close. Our goal is to enjoy the wonder of seeing adult whales and calves play and interact with each other, while avoiding any disturbance or negative impact to the animals. Though the probability of seeing humpback whales is high, we stress the importance of patience during this activity as one can never totally predict animal behavior.
When: Year-round / High season: April & May
Type of fish you may catch:
- Hammerjack, grouper, red grouper, snapper and snook (year-round)
- Swordfish, marlin, tuna and mahi-mahi (high season)
Learn how to fish like a local using a Yo-Yo reel. Or, if you are skilled at fishing, you are welcome to bring your equipment and fish all day among the few boats in sight.
Though you can fish here year-round due to the large variety of pelagic fish, the high season is from April to May when the Humboldt current brings a high volume of fish.
