From August to October, Manuel Antonio offers the best time to witness the majestic California and Antarctic Humpback Whales. These whales migrate thousands of miles, with California Humpbacks traveling from Alaska and Antarctic Humpbacks journeying from the Southern Ocean.
During these months, visitors can observe the whales breaching, tail-slapping, and singing as they pass through our waters. It’s a unique opportunity to see both populations converging in one place. The warm, protected waters around Manuel Antonio provide an ideal environment for humpbacks to breed and give birth, making it a safe haven for mother whales and their calves.
