Tips Before You Go
Try not to go in June because a local phenomenon referred to as the “June Gloom” takes place. That is when a thick mist forms along the coastal strip, obscuring the gorgeous scenery. Instead, try to go sometime from December to April, because that is when the whales perform their annual migration, and are thus most visible.
