The Shelltone team's opinion
The Guadeloupe base was the first we referenced.
Throughout the year, we see magnificent cetaceans that reside year-round in front of our Baille Argent base, including sperm whales (which are whales), spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and Fraser's dolphins. We also encounter pilot whales, false killer whales, beaked whales, and sometimes even orcas, among others, as there are more than 20 species of marine mammals living in the Agoa sanctuary where we work, on the leeward coast of Guadeloupe.
Humpback whales are here from January to mid-May, with March and April being the best months for whale watching.
The cetacean enthusiasts selected by the Shelltone team in Guadeloupe have chosen the RESPECT.
Dolphin and whale watching trip in Deshaies (Guadeloupe)
aboard the NADJA, a comfortable and spacious boat designed for observation, see photo gallery below.
You are welcomed on board to share passion for cetaceans and navigation at sea.
Every time out, the captain uses a hydrophone (underwater microphone) and deciphers the sounds heard in the sea: whale songs, sperm whale codas, dolphin and pilot whale whistles. These sounds, heard live, help him decide which way the boat should go to give himself the best possible navigation. the best chance of observing animals while respecting their behaviour during the meeting.
Your participation in these outings helps finance our research and our mission. By choosing our organization, you are actively contributing to the protection of cetaceans and the promotion of sustainable and ethical tourism.
Fees: 75€ per adult, 50€ for children under 12 + 1€ tax for the Guadeloupe National Park
