Choosing a responsible operator helps minimize disturbances and protect their natural environment.<\/p>\n<h3>What Criteria Should You Check Before Booking?<\/h3> <p>It is advisable to check whether the operator follows an ethical charter, respects approach distances, has a trained crew and applies animal-friendly practices.<\/p>\n<h3>Can You Still Observe Whales Properly on a Responsible Tour?<\/h3> <p>Yes. A respectful approach often provides more authentic sightings while allowing the animals to behave naturally.<\/p>\n<h3>How Does the Shelltone Whale Project Select Its Operators?<\/h3> <p>Each operator is evaluated according to the Shelltone Charter, as well as criteria specific to each destination, based on more than 45 years of field research.<\/p>\n<h3>Are Shelltone Operators More Expensive?<\/h3> <p>No. Bookings are made directly with the selected operators, at the same price as booking with them independently.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Book Through Shelltone Rather Than a Traditional Platform?<\/h3> <p>Shelltone only selects operators that meet scientific and ethical criteria, rather than listing as many tours as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Can You Find Responsible Whale-Watching Tours?<\/h3> <p>The Shelltone Whale Project features selected destinations and operators across several regions of the world, helping travellers choose experiences that respect cetaceans.<\/p>\n<\/section>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shelltonewhaleproject.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shelltonewhaleproject.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shelltonewhaleproject.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shelltonewhaleproject.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shelltonewhaleproject.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10869"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/www.shelltonewhaleproject.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11971,"href":"https:\/\/www.shelltonewhaleproject.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10869\/revisions\/11971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shelltonewhaleproject.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
