Description
The humpback whale sighting season has already begun! Velas Do Rio invites you to observe one of the largest cetaceans in the world up close on board a modern and comfortable catamaran
The humpback whale season has already begun, and with it the privilege of being able to observe one of the largest cetaceans in the world up close.
From June to August, these impressive marine mammals leave Antarctica and pass close to the coast of Rio de Janeiro, more precisely near the Cagarras Islands archipelago, in search of warmer waters.
Velas Do Rio invites you to this unforgettable experience aboard the modern and comfortable catamaran with
All Inclusive service and an onboard biologist.
We will depart early in the morning to take advantage of the ideal viewing conditions with calm seas and little wind.
After leaving the Marina, we will sail towards the Cagarras Islands Natural Monument, MONA Cagarras, a protected marine life sanctuary off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, to watch the whales. We will sail around these incredible islands for approximately 2.5 hours
