Whale Watchers: Visit St Lucia to Witness Annual Humpback Migration

It's almost that time of year again when the Humpback Whale starts its annual migration.  Whale watching season runs from the 1st of June to the 1st of December and anybody wishing to partake in such an amazing spectacle can do so through Advantage Charters in St Lucia (www.advantagetours.co.za) or through Ocean Experience in St. Lucia (http://www.heritagetoursandsafaris.com/ocean-experience/)

The Humpback Whale is a type of Baleen Whale, it has a distinctive body shape, with unusually long pectoral fins and a knobbly head.  It is known as the 'acrobat of the oceans', often breaching and slapping the water.  Males produce a complex song which can last for 10 to 20 minutes at a time and is repeated for hours on end.  The purpose of the song is not entirely clear, although it is thought to play a role in mating.

Humpback Whales feed in polar waters and migrate to tropical or sub-tropical waters to give birth.  Every year they head to warmer waters via South Africa's east coast, making St Lucia a premier spot to witness this annual migration.
