Boipeba Island Whale-Watching

Do you want to see whales in their natural habitat? On this boat ride around Boipeba Island, we'll enjoy an unforgettable whale-watching experience with an expert oceanographer.

Description

We'll meet at the scheduled time at the Pousada Pérola do Atlântico, where an expert oceanographer will give us an informative talk about the humpback whales that inhabit the waters off the coast of the Brazilian state of Bahía.

After the talk, we'll make our way to Boca da Barra or Quteiro Beach, depending on the weather conditions. We will then take a boat ride around the north-west coast of the island. The boat ride will last around 2 hours and provide an opportunity for a humpback whale-watching experience.

As we sail, we'll come in close contact with these native whales, which can reach up to 15 metres (49 feet) in length and 40 tonnes in weight. The onboard expert oceanographer will share interesting facts about these humpback whales.

After the whale-watching, participants can take a refreshing dip in the Atlantic ocean before ending the tour back at the meeting point, totaling 5 hours.

Whale-Watching

The coast of Boipeba Island is a prime location for humpback whale-watching. However, sightings depend on various factors, including weather conditions and the breeding and rearing seasons of different species.
