Dolphins often come near the boat and play with us...

OUR BOAT, THE NADJA

Welcome aboard Nadja, which we have specially designed for cetacean watching. Our boat offers a beautiful closeness to the animals and an excellent acoustic quality, to make the most of the whales' song. And you will never be crowded on our boat 🙂.

Dolphins, sperm whales, whales, killer whales are numerous to come and swim near our home port, Baille-Argent, on the west coast of Guadeloupe.

The Shelltone Whale Project has set up a protocol for approaching cetaceans, which is applied to each sea trip among the whales, dolphins and sperm whales of Guadeloupe within the Agoa Marine Sanctuary.
Our observation protocol is governed by simple principles:

Our daily trips at sea, to conduct our research, have allowed us to establish a climate of trust with the whales, sperm whales and dolphins of Guadeloupe, who alone decide on an interaction with humans, in a calm, serene atmosphere.
At each outing, we use our hydrophone (underwater microphone) and we decipher the sounds heard in the sea, whale songs, sperm whale codas, whistles of dolphins and pilot whales from Guadeloupe. These sounds heard live, allow us to decide the orientation of the boat to give us the best chance to observe the animals.
A unique experience, a scientific, ecological and educational approach, based on the principles of non-intrusion and mutual respect for the dolphins, sperm whales and whales of Guadeloupe.
