What To Expect
NEW FOR 2025 : Per government regulations, only 6 guests per boat will be allowed to swim with humpback whales.
The main objective during our expedition, as always, is to swim with humpback whales present in our waters between the months of July and late November. We can encounter different types of animals also during our expeditions.
Snorkeling equipment and floatation devices are available on board if needed.
If you want to swim with whales, we require strong swimming abilities and snorkeling experience. It can be an easy to moderate effort on most days, but it can be more challenging at times depending on ocean conditions and whales behavior.
Passengers who cannot get in the water with whales can enjoy the show from the boat as well ( you can book our non-swimming tour)
Please note :
French law requires life jackets for all whale swimming tours, but provides exemption for those guests wearing neoprene wetsuit. It can be a shorty or a full suit.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO AVOID THE LIFE JACKET OBLIGATION PLEASE BRING A WETSUIT.
We have life jackets on board and wetsuits are available for rent from a third party if needed, contact us for more information.
