Details
Enjoy an unreal sight thanks to our boat trip with wildlife watching aboard our spacious and modern boat. Our experienced team has been navigating in the region for years and knows the best spots to make it happen. Because we truly care about the environment and the animals, we are also certified "High Quality Whale Watching". Before starting our trip, we will first meet at the port of Le Lavandou or Cavalaire, depending on the option you book, and then the real fun begins!
You will start your day by admiring the sublime coastline and its breathtaking scenery in the light of the rising sun. Just a short distance from the coast, you will be offered a breakfast to wake up your taste buds and put you in a good mood. After French pastries, chocolate, tea or coffee, you're ready to discover the Pelagos Sanctuary. This area of more than 87 500 square kilometres fighting to protect the inhabiting species. Among them, we will be able to spot turtles, cnidarian and plenty of fishes that our guidewill describe during the live commentary. The sky also has some surprises for you as we navigate under the careful watch of the local seagulls and shearwaters.
Of course, if we are lucky, we might spot any of the 7 species of cetacean living in the area, but nature is always unpredictable. At some point, we will also do a model workshop together for those interested. This funny and unique experience will make your trip even more enjoyable. Finally, at the end of our trip, after taking many unforgettable pictures and creating everlasting memories, we will return to our starting point.Highlights

Based on guest feedback, the experience is overwhelmingly positive, with about 54% of reviewers giving it a five-star rating. The crew receives constant praise for being friendly and dedicated to finding marine life, making for a "fantastic experience". Many guests report amazing sightings. The main drawback is that commentary is often only in French. Despite the boat sometimes being crowded, seeing these animals in the wild makes it an experience worth booking.

Unfortunately, we only saw two turtles.
It was still very nice.
The captain really did his best. But that's nature for you.
