Description

Important: Before confirming a reservation, write to us to give us the dates on which you are available for the outing! You will embark on a dolphin and other cetacean observation excursion off the coast of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The meeting is at 8 a.m. at the pontoon. Short briefing and we board. For this boat trip, we will head offshore, towards Gouf de Capbreton. The Gouf de Capbreton is an oceanic fault. Only a few dozen meters deep in front of Capbreton, it descends into the abyss to a depth of more than 4000 meters. This canyon is a very important place of biodiversity. The entire food chain is present: from plankton, to fish, to cetaceans of which there are more than fifteen species on the Gouf. It takes around 45 minutes of navigation to get to the Gouf de Capbreton observation area. On site you can encounter small groups of a few individuals up to groups of several hundred dolphins. The most common species are the striped dolphin, the common dolphin and the bottlenose dolphin. It is also common to observe pilot whales, especially in spring. More exceptionally, we may have the chance to come across the Risso's dolphin, porpoises, rorquals, sperm whales and beaked whales. In all cases their approach will be in such a way as to respect their peace and quiet as much as possible. Return to the port scheduled between 1 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.
