Categoria:
Paese: Brazil
Durata:
07:30 ore
Descrizione
Head out to sea off Ilhabela to look for humpback whales on their winter migration. Start with a biologist's talk, then pick a speedboat trip, a small-group trip or a catamaran day.
Every year, from May to August, humpback whales swim along the São Paulo coast on their migration from Antarctica, and Ilhabela is one of the best places in Brazil to see them.
Your experience begins on land, at our meeting point in Perequê, with a talk by a marine biologist. You'll learn about the whales' migration, how they behave and how to spot a blow, a tail or a breach at sea.
Then you board and head out to the open ocean off Ilhabela. The crew searches for whales and approaches them responsibly, keeping a safe distance with the engine in neutral and never chasing the animals. Dolphins, sea turtles and seabirds are often seen along the way.
Choose the option that suits you best:
- Basic plan (3.5 hours): speedboat trip with the biologist's talk before boarding, water and photos of the trip.
- Medium plan (5 hours): small group of 8 to 10 people on a CF29 or CF34 boat, with a marine biologist on board, breakfast and a restroom.
- Immersion (7.5 hours): stable 60-foot catamaran with breakfast and food, biologist on board, a hydrophone to hear the whales sing, a photographer and restrooms. This is the only option for children aged 2 to 5.
Photos and videos of your trip are shared by link within 30 days. Whale sightings depend on nature and sea conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
