Every year, humpback whales embark on epic migrations, traveling from their high-latitude feeding grounds to their low-latitude breeding areas. And guess what? The Cape Verde Islands are one of only two breeding sites for these magnificent creatures in the entire North Atlantic!
The peak whale-watching season runs from mid-March to mid-May, offering you the perfect chance to witness these acrobatic giants along the western and southwestern coasts of Boa Vista Island.
What makes this experience even more special? Each whale is unique, identifiable by the natural markings on their flukes and dorsal fins. And if you’re lucky, you’ll hear male whales singing their hauntingly beautiful, complex songs—sometimes lasting up to 20 minutes and repeated for hours!
When you join a whale tour, you’re not just a spectator. These boats serve as platforms for vital research, collecting data on whale behavior, movement patterns, and individual identification through photos of tail flukes and fins.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to connect with nature, witness incredible wildlife, and be part of something bigger. Book your whale-watching adventure now and make memories you’ll never forget!
