Humpback Whale Watching Tour, Mafia

During their migration season, humpback whales pass through the waters around Mafia Island, offering a seasonal whale watching opportunity distinct from the island’s well-known whale shark encounters.

What to Expect

Head out by boat in search of humpback whales as they migrate through the channel, watching for breaching, tail slaps, and other surface behavior from a respectful distance. Sightings depend on the season and are not guaranteed, as these are wild animals on a long migratory journey.

This is a seasonal activity, generally available during the months when humpbacks pass through this part of the Indian Ocean.

Good to Know

• Duration: half day, seasonal availability
• Best for: whale watching enthusiasts during migration season
• Combine with: a whale shark tour on a different day, since the two are separate seasonal activities
