Every year, humpback whales migrate along the coasts of Madagascar, mainly between July and September, with a peak in August. They come to Madagascar’s warm waters to mate, give birth, and nurse their calves.
The best places to meet humpback whales are:

• Nosy Boraha (Sainte Marie)
• Occasionally in Nosy Be and in the Bay of Antongil
• The south-eastern coast near Fort-Dauphin
