Activity description
Meet the cetaceans during an expedition in the Bay of Biscay and experience an unforgettable moment from Hendaye!
The Bay of Biscay is an area extremely rich in biodiversity: many species of underwater mammals such as dolphins, sperm whales, whales and porpoises live there! Hendaye is therefore the ideal place to start an expedition to observe cetaceans in their natural environment. Get your camera ready, as this is not something you will have the chance to see every day!
To take part in this expedition to meet the cetaceans in the Bay of Biscay, you will board the catamaran Atalaya for a departure at 8:30 am. You will leave Hendaye and the safety instructions will be explained to you. Then, the naturalist guide will present you the biology of cetaceans and the clues to spot them. The cetaceans of the Bay of Biscay will soon hold no secrets for you! So keep your eyes open and report any sightings to others!
After an exciting day, you will be back at the port by 4pm and will leave with new knowledge, memories and probably some very nice photos.
Live a unique experience in the Bay of Biscay and go on a cetacean watching expedition from Hendaye!
