The ideal time to visit the Malvan Marine Sanctuary in Tarkarli, is between the months of October and March. During this period, the weather is most conducive for sightseeing and indulging in water activities, such as scuba diving and snorkeling, which are major attractions of the sanctuary. Post-monsoon, the waters are clear, offering better visibility for marine life exploration. The temperature during these months ranges from a pleasant 16°C to 33°C, ensuring a comfortable climate for tourists to enjoy the natural beauty and aquatic biodiversity of Malvan.
The region experiences a tropical climate, and visiting during the summer months of April and May can be quite sultry with temperatures soaring up to 38°C. Monsoons from June to September bring heavy rainfall, which can disrupt outdoor activities and water sports. However, for travelers who prefer a quiet getaway with fewer crowds and don't mind the rains, the monsoon can also be considered. Nonetheless, for the quintessential Malvan Marine Sanctuary experience, where one can fully appreciate the coral reefs and a myriad of marine species, the cooler, drier months of October to March are strongly recommended.
