Off Shore Day

Welcome for a day trip "Off Shore” in the waters of the Mozambique Channel for offshore species encounters.

After a one-hour boat, we reach the drop-off of the Mozambique Channel. The open sea is here, our research begins! We are likely to observe species that we rarely encounter in our usual search areas: Dolphins Tursiops Truncatus, peponocephalas, pilot whales, pseudorcas, beaked whales and perhaps other surprises!

We take the lunch on board. Depending on the weather conditions, our research and encounters areas, we will have lunch on board or near an island...

An excursion dedicated to researching offshore cetaceans. This means that encounters are more random and less predictable. However, encounters can be magical and on the sea, the days are often full of surprises.

Compliance with instructions and behavior with animals is a priority for us The briefing, which will be given to you at the start of the outing, will give you the behaviors to follow during this excursion.

8:15 a.m.: Boarding About 1 hour to reach the drop-off 9:30 a.m.: The search begins offshore 12:30 p.m.: Meal on the boat or near an island Afternoon: The search continues if we are still offshore, snorkeling if we are close to an island 3:30 p.m.: Return to Nosy Be For this day, the program is not fixed and may change depending on the search areas, the weather, etc.
Aduncus doplphins, peponocephala, falsekillerwhales, Globycephala... and Humpback whales (August to october)
Knowing that we are offshore for a large part of the day, for people prone to seasickness, this outing is not recommended.
As with all of our trips, we welcome a maximum of 12 people on our boats.

Notre taux de réussite

Our strength is also to have excellent success rates in observing species. This success can be explained by our experience and our network of water informants! Although we can guarantee our research effort, we can never guarantee encounters, it is nature which, in the end, has the last word!
