Excursion "Humpback whales safari"

OBSERVATION PERIOD: August to November

ADULT RATE: 65 € / pax

Embark on our boat to come and observe the humpback whales: A dream day awaits you!

Accompanied by a specialized guide, you will discover this mythical animal. Humpback whales, which come to reproduce and give birth in the warm waters of Nosy Be from August to November.

This migration is an opportunity to observe them in an exceptional setting with often very favorable sea conditions. Whether mother/calf pairs resting on the plateau or groups of active males looking to reproduce, each encounter gives rise to special moments!

During these outings, we very regularly observe other species of cetaceans (spinner dolphin, spotted dolphin, Indo-Pacific dolphins, etc.).

Compliance with instructions and behavior with animals is a priority for us ! Le briefing, qui vous sera donné au départ de la sortie, vous donnera les comportements a respecter lors de cette sortie.

After the morning at sea, you will enjoy lunch on the beach of Nosy Sakatia and a meeting with the green turtles who come to feed on the seagrass beds.

Humpback whales can also be observed during outings Safari Marin Nosy Iranja, Bivouac Nosy Iranja, and Marine Safari Baie des Russes between August and October.

A Nosy Be, avec des conditions de navigation et d’observation souvent très favorables en cette période, un bateau confortable et adapté à ce type d’excursion, vous passerez une excursion pleine d’émotions. Entre les mères accompagnées de leur baleineau qui se reposent dans les eaux calmes de la baie de Nosy Be et les mâles qui se battent au large pour séduire les femelles, le spectacle sera au rendez vous !
