Observation of the humpback whale
The Antongil Bay is an important breeding ground for the humpback whale and other marine species. A great number of whales gather in the bay every year during July, August, and September. Regular excursions to see the whales are offered throughout the season and can be easily arranged. Sometimes, whale watching takes patience. But with persistence you may witness the awesome power of a humpback whale launching itself into the sky!

Equipment
Remember that whales visit the bay during the winter. During the whale season, it is often rainy and cold. In deed, the whales tend to breach more often when the weather seems to be the worst! Be prepared to get wet. Wear warm clothing and bring rain gear. Be sure to protect your camera gear. Some days, you may get lucky with beautiful skies and calm seas. In this case, sun lotion is key.
