However, in my experience, whale watching is better in September. Whales are more active as they feed heavily in preparation for their migration to the Caribbean for the winter. While I've never failed to see whales, on one September trip, I saw 35 humpbacks with full breaches and one mother with calf who came right up to the boat.
