Hours of operation

The Marine Park is a protected marine area accessible throughout the year when navigation is possible or when ice conditions permit. Whale-watching companies offer excursions between May and October. Departures are more frequent during the high season, which extends from late June to early September. For more information on the Marine Park and its activities, please contact us.
