"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.
Experience the breathtaking migration of humpback whales from Antarctica to the shores of Machalilla National Park in Ecuador from June to October. These magnificent creatures, reaching lengths of up to 15 meters and weighing up to 30 tons, offer a captivating sight and are among the world's largest animals.
During our tour, you'll witness the fascinating social dynamics of humpback whales, including males vying for female attention and the nurturing bond between mother and calf, with calves reaching up to 4 meters in length. As we navigate these waters, we often encounter numerous whales traveling in close proximity.
Located in a nursery and mating area for humpback whales, this tour offers a unique opportunity for direct contact with nature and a chance to witness these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. After the whale watching excursion, we'll visit Salango Island or other nearby islands, where you can swim or snorkel to explore the vibrant reef corals and diverse marine life, including the chance to see sea lions and marine turtles.
Don't miss this adventure of a lifetime!
