"Ecuador is one of the most amazing and impressive for whale watching destinations in the world" Gregory Kaufman, - President and Founder of Pacific Whale Foundation.
From June until October humpback whales migrate more than 7,000 km from Antarctica to the shores of Machalilla National Park in Ecuador. Humpback whales could reach 15 meters long and weigh up to 30 tons. It is the world's fifth-largest animal.
During the tour, we will have the opportunity to find the whale´s active groups where many males fall in love with its female. We can enjoy the behavior of the mother with its calf (it reaches 4 meters long). Or just, we could see many whales traveling close to us. We are in a nursery and mating area for humpback whales.
This is the unique real opportunity to have direct contact with nature and enjoy the humpback whales in their natural environment. At the end of whale watching, we will go to the Salango Island or other islands and we have the chance to swimming or use a snorkel to enjoy the reef corals and other marine animals.
¡Enjoy the adventure¡
DURATION
It takes 2-3 hours from the moment we depart until the moment we come back to shore, depending on how much time we take in sighting a group of whales. We are in wild nature. This tour included a native guide (speak Spanish and a few English). The whales are free on the ocean. Sometimes, we have the chance to see many groups of whales. But we offer you sure, we find whales.
