When to look for whales

Spring and summer are the main seasons for whale-watching trips from Teriberka. April–September is a useful planning window; the timing of individual sightings varies with feeding conditions and the animals’ movements.

Whales are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. A sea trip is also a chance to enjoy the rocky shore and seabirds. The captain decides whether sea conditions allow a safe departure.
