The best time to visit Makkovik is during the summer months, from late June to early September, when the weather is mildest and outdoor activities are most accessible.
During this period, temperatures are generally comfortable, ranging from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F), making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region. The longer daylight hours also provide ample opportunity for sightseeing and excursions.
Travelers interested in wildlife viewing, particularly birdwatching or spotting marine life like seals and whales, will find this season most rewarding. The ice typically breaks up by late June, allowing for boat tours and easier access to coastal areas. It's also the best time for hiking the local trails and experiencing the natural landscapes.
For those interested in cultural experiences, local events and festivals are more common in the summer, offering a chance to connect with the Inuit culture and community.
