When is the best time for a calm flight?

Generally, conditions at the beginning and end of the day are more favourable for a calm flight experience.

When is the best time to see whales?

In calm conditions, the fewer the waves, the easier it is to find and clearly see the whales. At midday, the sun shines vertically and helps see deep into the water.

When is the best time for photos and scenery?

Early morning and late day are full of warm colours, and the shadows bring out the relief of the landscape. It makes for an extraordinary setting.
