What to Expect
Set off on a sea excursion of around 2 hours in search of whales and dolphins in Saint-Gilles. Turtles and seabirds may also join the show, offering you unique moments throughout your outing at sea.
You will cruise along some of Réunion Island’s most beautiful coastlines and discover the richness of the local wildlife while admiring the island’s impressive landscapes and volcanic reliefs. However, as these animals remain wild and unpredictable, sightings cannot be guaranteed during the excursion.
A state-certified and passionate captain will accompany you throughout your whale and dolphin watching experience in the Indian Ocean and will gladly share knowledge, stories, and answer your questions about the island’s marine life.
Whales can be observed from June to October in the Indian Ocean, offering an exceptional spectacle not to be missed.
