As if the beautiful ocean views from your hotel was not enough, how about you add whale watching off your patio to the list! Each and every summer Ecuador’s coast turns into the breeding grounds for the migrating humpback whale. The whales swim and play right off of Santa Marianita’s beaches.
These magnificent animals migrate over 7,000 kilometers every year from the frigid waters of Antarctica. These wonderful mammals swim up to the warm waters off of Ecuador’s coast to give birth to their cubs. Food is plentiful here as they follow the nutrient rich Humboldt current.
First to arrive to Ecuador are the male humpback whales, then shortly thereafter the pregnant females make their journey to give birth to their young cubs. Whale watching occurs from June to the latter portion of September. It is estimated that anywhere from 400 to 2,600 whales come to Ecuador every year, making this a popular tourist attraction for those who want to experience whale watching at its finest.
The big males are seen to jump out of the water frequently to attract a mate, while making unusual sounds during the routine. If you would like to take a whale watching tour to get up close and personal with these wonderful mammals, you can book a whale watching tour with Casa Blanca Hotel Boutique. You can be sure that the experience you have will stay with you forever, so come and visit Santa Marianita soon.
