Who it's for
Best time to visit
Year-round destination, though June–November offers peak whale-watching opportunities during Southern Right Whale migration. Early morning departures (if offered) yield better wildlife visibility and fewer crowds at penguin colonies; avoid peak school holidays (December–January) for smaller group sizes.
