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.
