Overview

On this tour, we will take you in a boat equipped especially for sighting, with ample spaces to enjoy from any angle and a hydrophone to hear the song of whales underwater.

Our adventure begins in the navy, from where we set out in search of these majestic creatures. We sail through different points of the bay, in contact with other boats and attentive to signs such as the blow when going out to breathe or the movement of their tails and fins.

Once located, we respect the distance recommended by environmental authorities so as not to alter their natural behavior, but we are close enough for you to admire its size, elegance and beauty.

The whole tour is guided by a marine biologist, who will share with you fascinating facts about the behavior, migration and social life of humpback whales.

A magical, educational and exciting experience that you will remember all your life.
