The breathtaking islands of Turks and Caicos are renowned for their turquoise waters, vibrant marine life, and pristine beaches. While these natural treasures enchant visitors year-round, there’s an exclusive seasonal phenomenon that captivates nature enthusiasts from January to March: whale watching.
If you’re planning your winter getaway, don’t miss the chance to witness the majestic humpback whales as they migrate through the warm Caribbean waters on a Turks and Caicos Whale Watching cruise.

Why January to March?

The Turks and Caicos lie along a critical migratory route for humpback whales, which travel thousands of miles annually from the cold North Atlantic to the warmer waters of the Silver Bank near the Dominican Republic to mate and give birth. From January through March, these gentle giants pass through the Turks and Caicos, making this the ideal window to experience one of nature’s most extraordinary events.

This seasonal tour offers you the chance to see majestic humpback whales frolic in the ocean off our shores in the crystal-clear warm waters of Turks and Caicos. Many have migrated down from Newfoundland, Canada and the North Atlantic to find a mate and have given birth to their calves, who they are now teaching how to dive and feed. These whales are only here for a short period before embarking on their northern migration to the feeding grounds.
Take a photo of a whale breaching and then showing off its tail. By sharing the photo of the whale’s tail fluke with the Turks and Caicos Islands Whale Project, they will later identify and track the whale, and you can watch its progress as it migrates through the North Atlantic. And speaking of photos, our team has partnered up with Fotaflo to provide you with complimentary photos of your charter. Your images are sent to your email right after you step off the boat!
