Program Description

Set off on a unique Ocean Safari cruise and discover the fascinating marine world off the coast of Madagascar. This half-day experience combines the excitement of observing wildlife with expert knowledge shared on board.

During the cruise, you will be accompanied by a marine biologist and a certified guide from the Ceta Mada organisation, specialising in the protection of cetaceans. Thanks to their expertise, you will gain insight into the animals’ behaviour, habits and their importance within the ecosystem.

The main highlight is the presence of humpback whales, which appear off the coast of Madagascar during their breeding and calving season. Observations are conducted in accordance with responsible tourism practices and local regulations to ensure that the natural environment of these remarkable animals is not disturbed.

From around October, whales begin to leave the coast, and at the same time another extraordinary attraction appears – the whale shark. In favourable conditions, it is possible to snorkel alongside it, offering an unforgettable experience.

This is a unique experience for nature lovers who want to combine adventure with education and responsible exploration.

The order of the itinerary and the programme may be subject to change.

Important information

Please Note: Whales and whale sharks are wild animals living in their natural habitat. While every effort is made to provide sightings, whale / shark whales sightings cannot be guaranteed.

In the event that whales / shark whales watching is not possible, the program will be adjusted to include a snorkeling excursion on the way back to the hotel.

We recommend bringing a swimsuit and towel.

Important: Additional insurance coverage is recommended.

The whales leave at the end of September, so the information in the offer is not entirely accurate. Watching whale sharks involves more of chasing them across the ocean. Given the number of ...

We didn`t see a single whale. The tour leader was very nice—she spoke Polish and French—but that was the only positive thing about the trip. No one warned us that if we didn`t find any whale...

The guide didn`t tell us anything about the animals. Furthermore, we had trouble finding the whales, and the crew wasn`t prepared for a four-hour search and had to dock for fuel. The boat wa...
