When to dive in Madagascar

Every year, 10% of the world's population of humpback whales migrate to Madagascar's waters. From June-September, the whales come from the Antarctic to breed in Madagascar's warmer waters. During this time, they provide viewers with a magnificent mating display.

By August females have given birth; mothers can sometimes be seen swimming with their calves.
