Overview
The Bay of Banderas is the perfect place to spot humpback whales (December-March) migrating through the area.
Humpbacks migrate through the Bay of Banderas every year, often accompanied by young. As the water temperature drops, humpbacks start to migrate, leaving the colder waters of Alaska to mate and raise their young. Humpbacks grow up to 52 ft and sing beautiful songs.
They are gentle and move slowly in the water. You have a great chance of seeing them surface for air or gracefully flip underwater to dive for up to 30 minutes. The real show starts when they 'breach'. This is when they jump out of the water, sometimes just to play, to clean themselves or to create a splash to attract other humpbacks in the area.
