July to November – Antarctic Humpback Whale Migration

Humpback whales migrate almost all year around through the waters of the Golfo Dulce and the Osa Peninsula. From July through to November the Antarctic Humpbacks will pass through the Golfo Dulce, whereas the Californian Humpbacks travel through from December to April.

See the chart below to see exactly where and when the Humpbacks migrate. Best viewing of Humpbacks is around our beautiful Osa Peninsula.
