Ilhabela Whale Watching Boat Tour

Are you eager to witness whales in their natural surroundings? We will gather at the Floating Pier. Departing from this location in São Sebastião, we’ll embark on an exciting boat tour aimed at spotting whales along the picturesque coastline of Ilhabela, a jewel of São Paulo's northern shore!

The prime season for whale sightings in this region of Brazil is from May to August, coinciding with the migration of these huge marine mammals from Antarctica as they seek warmer waters to reproduce.

As we navigate along Ilhabela's coastline, we’ll cruise near the island’s beaches to observe these magnificent beings leaping and moving gracefully in the water. We'll maintain a respectful distance to ensure they remain undisturbed within their natural environment.

If the conditions are right, there's a chance to see other local wildlife, including turtles, dolphins, and occasionally, penguins. Prepare your cameras to capture these delightful moments!

Our excursion will wrap up after approximately 3 to 4 hours when we return to the original departure pier.

Important Information

Keep in mind that whales are unpredictable creatures. The likelihood of observing them varies based on multiple factors, including ocean currents, weather conditions, and wind direction.
