The best time to go to Witless Bay is typically during the late spring and summer months, from May to August, to experience the peak wildlife viewing opportunities.May and June are ideal for those hoping to see puffins, as this is when they return to the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve to nest. The weather during these months can be a bit cooler and more unpredictable, but the chance to witness thousands of these colourful birds is a major draw. Boat tours are readily available during this period.For travellers interested in whale watching, July and August offer the best chances of spotting various whale species, including humpbacks and minke whales, as they feed in the rich waters around Witless Bay. The weather is generally warmer and more settled, making for more comfortable boat excursions. This time of year is also excellent for enjoying coastal walks and the natural beauty of the area.While September can still offer good whale watching, the puffins typically depart by late August.
