Choose the best time to go

The “best” time is different for everyone, so we give you the choice of when – from November through to March, with chances to encounter wildlife at various stages.

November to December

At this early stage in the season, wildlife is vibrant and active. See penguins building nests, seals basking in the sun, the arrival of migratory birds and spectacular landscapes draped in snow.

December to February

Chicks start to hatch and can be seen in large colonies. Chances to see whales increase as they migrate here to feed. This is the peak of the austral summer, with nearly 24 hours of daylight.

February to March

Chicks are fledging and whale sightings are at their peak. The ice begins to retreat, revealing more of the rugged coastline and the days start to shorten, providing stunning sunrises and sunsets.
