Panama Whale Watching in the Pearl Islands

The warm waters around the Equator give the ideal conditions for humpback whales to breed and protect their offspring during their winter season. Panama, being in the middle of this transit route, welcomes whales from the southern hemisphere from July through October, while whales from the northern hemisphere are found from January to March. Whale watching in Panama is possible nearly all year long! And the best part, most Panama whale watching adventures depart right from Panama City! It is no wonder whale watching is among the top things to do in Panama City!
The best whale watching season in Panama falls between July and October every year when over 2000 Humpback whales migrate north from the southern hemisphere to mate, give birth, nurse and prepare the young whales for the long journey back south. It's no fluke, whale watching in the Pearl Islands is pretty much a guarantee this time of year. Catamaran tours to Isla Contadora and Isla Bolaños are a fantastic deal this time of year. In the months between January and March, there are less whales migrating from the north, so whale watching in the Pearl Islands is not as ideal then. In this case we would recommend a private whale watching charter.
