Humpback Whale Watching

Witness the spectacular seasonal migration of humpback whales as they travel through the Mafia Channel. These magnificent giants — reaching up to 16m and 36,000 kg — migrate up to 25,000 km annually between warm Indian Ocean breeding grounds and Antarctic feeding waters. Watch in awe as they breach, throwing their massive bodies completely out of the water. Previously endangered by commercial whaling, their population is now recovering, and mothers with calves are frequently sighted. Dolphins join year-round.
