Want to see dolphins in Reunion Island and whales in season (June to October)? Come aboard a catamaran in Le Port with FestiYacht de Bourbon!
Whale watching in Reunion Island is a must, as the island is renowned for the presence of dolphins in its waters throughout the year, as well as whales from June to October. But while this experience is usually offered by motorboat, FestiYacht de Bourbon invites you to go and see the whales and dolphins from Le Port by catamaran, a much quieter way of sailing that is suitable for everyone! Whether you are a family, a couple or a group of friends, everyone will enjoy watching whales and dolphins in Reunion Island aboard Maloya, a top-of-the-range maxi-catamaran equipped with a hydrophone.
This cetacean-watching cruise on a catamaran departing from Le Port will take you out to sea for 2.5 hours, searching for the marine mammals that can be seen depending on the season. Explanatory material will be provided to give you as much information as possible about them, and the crew will also give you commentaries to enhance your experience. Of course, once the cetaceans have been spotted, you will be approached very gently, so as not to disturb them, while respecting the required safety distances. Aboard Maloya, you are sure to enjoy an incredible catamaran whale and dolphin watching cruise in Reunion Island!
Offering incomparable comfort and optimum safety on board, the boat will allow you to admire the cetaceans in complete serenity, seated either inside on its benches, or outside on its 2 front trampolines to be as close as possible to the water. Once you have booked your place, it is up to you to decide how you want to watch Reunion Island's whales and dolphins evolve before your very eyes, in complete freedom!
