Humpback whales off the coast
Every year whales from South Africa swim through the channel from Mozambique to the island of Sainte Marie. That's why Sainte Marie, an island off the northeast coast of Madagascar, is considered one of the best places in the world for whale spotters. Every year between July and September, humpback whales pass by in search of a mate. You can watch this breathtaking spectacle from a boat with 'eco-guide'. At the same time, you support the protection of marine mammals.
Unique is participating in a whale expedition. From Sainte Marie you can take specialists out onto the ocean and help observe the whales. Every year, research is carried out by specialists in the field of protection of this endangered species. During the expedition, you will be part of the team and will be given a task, ranging from taking pictures of the whales, jotting down the locations and listening to the sounds. Impressive and special at the same time. A unique way to admire these imposing sea creatures up close!
