Marine mammals, whales and dolphins, are incredible animals to observe, especially as they live in a world that is not our own. Don't dream any longer, come and live your dreams!
Cetacean watching on Réunion Island is regulated by prefectoral decree. The number of observers in the water is 7 people maximum (including the instructor). The observation must be "passive" and the support boat must remain at a distance of 100 metres. A maximum of 3 boats is authorised in the observation zone for a maximum of 30 minutes. Children are permitted from the age of 8 in dolphin season and 12 in whale season. Finally, snorkelling is prohibited.
Cetaceans, although not hostile to humans, nevertheless remain wild animals whose behavior can sometimes be unpredictable. Additional safety instructions will be specified during the briefing on the day of your outing.
Please ensure that you are experienced in the use of fins, mask and snorkel. and protect you from seasickness if necessary.
Of course, we'll never force you into the water - on the contrary, only you know your limits. However the instructor reserves the right to prohibit you from entering the water if necessary.
It should also be noted that approaching cetaceans is strictly forbidden throughout the marine reserve zone.
Of course, our centre is above all committed to respecting the peace and quiet of the animals we observe.
No animal encounters are guaranteed during our outings: The only thing we can promise is that you'll be safe and have a great time at sea.
We'll be doing everything we can to give you the best possible interaction with whales and dolphins, but we'll also be keen to help you discover the marine life as a whole, in particular the turtles and seabirds.
Several species of dolphin are sedentary on Réunion's coasts all year round, some very close to the coast and others further offshore. They can be seen from 15 October to 31 May.
Whales, on the other hand, follow migratory cycles. For this reason, they are only seen around Réunion Island during the southern winter, and whale watching is only permitted from 01 July to 30 September.
It should also be remembered that sharks are also wild animals that have their rightful place on the coasts of Réunion Island. Contrary to popular belief, there are very few of them here and they are extremely rare. If the safety instructions are followed, they are not a danger. As proof, no shark-related accident has ever been recorded involving a diver on Réunion Island.
