Brazil Humpback Whale Watching Guide

Every year from July to November, humpback whales migrate from Antarctica to breed along Brazil's eastern coast. While Brazil has several whale-watching spots, they are poorly promoted — even many locals are unaware of them. ✅ Recommended Locations: Rio de Janeiro Praia do Forte Salvador Itacaré 🐢 Snorkeling with Turtles: The water clarity here is significantly higher than in other regions, making it the top recommendation for whale watching. 🕺🏻 About the Experience: Sightings are entirely luck-based. The ideal conditions are calm seas + sunny weather. Rough waves make it harder for whales to breach, and you might see nothing. Be cautious of companies that sail despite large waves. Today, we witnessed 5 different whale behaviors: rolling, breaching, fin slapping, blowing... though capturing them on camera was challenging! #Praia do Forte#Salvador#Whale Watching#Brazil#travel guide#Brazil guide
