Southern Right Whales arrive to find a mate and calve in the region’s warmer waters, while the humpback carries on to Mozambique and Madagascar to care for their young.
The resident Bryde Whale is found here all year round.
The Southern Right and Humpback whales are naturally curious, making for exceptional viewing.
They are particularly surface active and often display their natural exuberance by lob tailing, sailing and breaching.
This is also where large mating pods and mothers choose to teach their calves to swim in the protected shallows.
