The best months for whale sightings are usually May to September. 

There isn't a specific time of day when you're more likely to see whales. Their presence in the bay can change quickly, and each tour is a new adventure. Sometimes you'll see many whales, sometimes just a few. Nature is unpredictable, making every trip unique.
