Watch the humpback whales off Réunion on board a comfortable, intimate boat!
Whale watching season is in full swing on Réunion Island, and it's the perfect opportunity to meet them... from the surface! Set sail from Le Port for a whale-watching trip in search of the island's emblematic cetaceans: dolphins, humpback whales and other marine surprises.
Aboard the Dodopalmé 2, a spacious 9.50 m x 3 m aluminium boat, you'll enjoy a small group outing with a maximum of 7 people, for a calmer, richer experience that respects the wildlife.
During this excursion, your passionate pilot will enthusiastically share his knowledge of humpback whales: their morphology, their amazing abilities, their annual migration to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, and the best approach practices for observing them in complete safety.
This is an accessible and engaging whale-watching trip, ideal for families and nature lovers. From the age of 8 upwards, you'll be able to enjoy a unique experience as you search for tail whales, perhaps even witnessing a spectacular leap. If you manage to capture a good photo of a whale's tail, you can pass it on to the Globice association, which is working to monitor cetaceans on Réunion Island through a photo-identification programme open to all.
So if you're dreaming of a nature outing that's respectful, educational and full of excitement, this whale-watching excursion from Le Port on Réunion Island is the activity for you!
