The best time to go to Elliston is during the summer months, from late June to early September, when the weather is mildest and wildlife viewing opportunities are at their peak.During this period, the puffins are nesting and can be observed at the designated viewing sites, particularly the Puffin Viewing Site at the end of the Neck Road. The warmer temperatures also make it comfortable for exploring the Root Cellar Capital of the World, with its numerous historic root cellars, and for enjoying coastal walks along the rugged shoreline.For travelers interested in icebergs, late May and early June can also be a good time, though the weather can be cooler and foggier. Iceberg Alley, off the coast, often sees icebergs drift by during this window.
