Come and discover Réunion's marine life by boat, leaving from the port of Saint-Gilles les Bains, for dolphin and whale watching (in season)!

Head out to sea for around 1h30 in search of whales and dolphins. Turtles and birds are also part of the spectacle you'll be watching, offering you unique moments during your marine animal watching cruise in La Réunion.

You'll sail along Reunion's most beautiful coasts to discover the richness of the local fauna, but you'll also take the opportunity to admire the island's different reliefs and its incredible landscapes. But bear in mind that animals remain wild and unpredictable, so you may not be able to meet them during the activity.

A state-qualified skipper will accompany you for the duration of your whale-watching excursion on Reunion Island's Indian Ocean, and will be delighted to share his knowledge with you and answer any questions you may have about the island's marine flora and fauna. Your skipper will try to get as close as possible to the animals to enable you to observe them while respecting their environment!

Whales are present between July and early October in the Indian Ocean, offering you an exceptional spectacle not to be missed.

In small groups of 12 people maximum, come and enjoy an unforgettable experience at sea thanks to Cap Evasion 974, and embark aboard for a boat trip with cetacean observation in La Réunion from Saint-Gilles-les-Bains!

Wir sind in dem Boot knapp an der Küste langgefahren. Mit einer Schnelligkeit und Lautstärke, dass man niemals Delfine oder Wale sehen könnte. Der Guide hat es nicht mal versucht, das war sehr enttäuschend.

Dauphins par dizaines au rendez vous, très vite aperçus puis vus juste autour du bateau. Quelques sauts périlleux observés, plaisir des yeux Nous avons également eu la chance de rencontrer des tortues de mers dans leur milieu naturel.
