Description
Boa Vista is a key location for humpback whales, which measure about 15 meters as adults. From March to May, these whales gather near the island to mate and give birth. This cruise takes you into the surrounding waters to observe these animals in their natural habitat.
The tour begins with hotel pickup and transport to the port of Sal Rei. You will transfer by dinghy to the yacht and meet a crew with over 12 years of whale watching experience. A local marine biologist provides a detailed briefing about the whales before the cruise.
During the approximately three-hour outing, you will search for whales as they swim and display natural behaviors. After the cruise, you return by dinghy to Sal Rei and then back to your hotel. Sightings are very likely but not guaranteed due to the wildlife nature of the tour.
