The cetacean excursion is a unique adventure of its kind! We suggest you board our boat in a small group for an excursion to observe cetaceans in their natural environment.

The observation area is located off the coast of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, 45 minutes of navigation. An oceanic fault called Gouf de Capbreton is the meeting place for many species of cetaceans, fish and birds.

We are fortunate to be able to come across more than fifteen species of cetaceans in the Basque Country, including dolphins, whales and porpoises.

Observing them in their natural environment is a privileged experience.

What To Expect

You will embark on a cetacean-watching excursion off Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The rendezvous is at 8am at the pontoon, little Briefing, we embark, and for this boat trip, we will set sail, direction the Gouf of Capbreton. The Gouf is an ocean rift. Deep only a few dozen meters in front of Capbreton, it descends into the abyss at a depth of more than 4000 meters. This canyon is a very important place of biodiversity. The entire food chain, from plankton to fish, to cetaceans, of which there are more than 15 species on the Gouf. It takes about 45 minutes to get to the Gouf de Capbreton observation area. On site it is important to be careful to locate cetaceans. Small groups of a few individuals may be encountered up to groups of several hundred dolphins. For the lucky ones it may also happen to meet the race of a whale. In any case their approach will be in a way that respects as much as possible their tranquility. Return around 12:30 to the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Contact us for more information!
