In season, southern right whales are frequently spotted from Ibirahill’s terraces. For planning a trip, think July to November, with the peak generally in September. At Praia de Ibiraquera and Praia do Luz, you can also watch from land without trying to approach the animals.
“August and September are usually good choices for a whale-focused trip. Praia do Luz is one of the places we recommend for watching from land.”
What only a local knows
- Heads-up
- Sightings depend on the animals’ presence and the day’s conditions. Watch without chasing wildlife or approaching nests.
