Swim with Whale Sharks
Experience at a glance
From September to December, whale sharks gather to feed in the waters around Nosy Be. The trip combines a careful boat search with a guided entry into the water to swim at a respectful distance, without touching the animal or blocking its path, in accordance with Madagascar’s official code of conduct.
What the day looks like
Morning departure, careful search from the boat, approach briefing, then entry into the water only when conditions and the animal’s behaviour allow it.
Honest constraint to know
This is a wild encounter and sightings are not guaranteed. Entering the water depends on sea conditions, animal presence and strict respect for the official code of conduct.
