Humpback Whale Watching
Experience at a glance
From July to October, humpback whales pass through the waters of the Nosy Be archipelago. This is strictly a boat-based wildlife-watching trip, keeping a respectful distance while looking for blows, backs, tail flukes and sometimes breaches.
What the day looks like
Morning navigation through the observation areas, searching for blows and following the whales from a respectful distance before returning.
Honest constraint to know
