The best company of boats to go to see whales definitely! The explanations before climbing and onboard are of high quality: you will learn everything about their lives: their periods of migration (5 months in sudafricaines waters for reproduction, the rest in antarctic-rich antarctic waters), the arrival of males and females in the bay (jumps), the love season, the departure of males and the calving of calves who stay with their mother in the bay time to have enough forces to join Antarctica. Take on a good vent, a sweater and an anti-sea pill if you are sensitive, because it shakes the first 30 minutes, when the boat pulls all its power to pass the waves and join the wide! Once in the middle of the immensity, the guide tells you the positions of the many whales (more than 200 in the bay in season), then you approach very close to maximum interaction. At the beginning of the season, during the dredge period, you'll see adults making jumps, late in the season, you'll see calves with their mom (who loses all his fat reserves in 5 months to feed his baby and moves little to save his forces). Guaranteed emotions!

C"est un catamaran donc vous naviguerez dans un confort relatif en tout cas ça bouge moins - n'empêche que j'ai vu quand même des gens malade alors que la mer était calme...
Sinon du coté baleine, nous avons approché longuement une mère avec son petit - de très très près.
J'avais déjà fait ce type d'attraction au Québec et nous fumes beaucoup plus proche.

Le capitaine suit / poursuit patiemment le cétacé.
Le personnel est attentionné

Coté photo - vous devrez être monté avec au moins du 300 mm obturation à au moins 1/500 pour éviter les flous 'vous bouger car vous êtes sur un bateau - la stabilsation ne pourra rien faire- et les baleines bougent) et c'est parti en mode rafale pour capter le souffle et la queue !


Petit rafraichissement et snack au retour.
