Snorkeling: Swim with cetaceans Activity

Discover cetaceans in a different way with a sea trip accompanied by two diving instructors.

From July to October, humpback whales can be seen off our coast, and the rest of the year, several species of dolphins sail between Saint-Leu and Saint-Paul.

Course of the activity:

- You are welcomed at the diving centre and meet your instructors for the half day.

- The instructors equip you with the necessary equipment for the sea trip.

- An instructor will explain to you how the trip will be conducted and will introduce you to the techniques of launching and approaching the animals in a way that respects them.

- We go out to sea to search for cetaceans. You have a sharp eye and participate in the spotting with your instructors.

- A group of cetaceans is observed from the boat and then when the conditions are right you go out to sea to meet them under the supervision of an instructor.
