Boa vista island, Cape Verde
Discover the magnificent humpback whales during a half-day excursion aboard our boat. Under the guidance of an expert biologist, explore this awe-inspiring species in its natural environment.
Boa Vista serves as an ideal location for observing humpback whale activities throughout the spring months. These magnificent marine mammals, averaging approximately 15 meters in length, engage in breeding and calf-rearing during this period, often staying within the waters surrounding the island from March through May.
Your opportunity to witness these awe-inspiring creatures up close awaits aboard a half-day excursion tailored specifically for whale enthusiasts. Commencing at the hotel, guests embark via a small boat to reach the Port of Sal Rei. Upon arrival, transfer to the yacht where you'll be met by experienced staff who have amassed over twelve years of expertise in whale-watching tours at Boa Vista. A comprehensive briefing will cover fascinating aspects of the humpback whale ecosystem, ensuring you gain valuable insights into these remarkable animals.
Following the educational session, the journey commences towards the designated area where humpbacks are known to congregate during their migration season. As temperatures rise and food becomes more scarce, the whales gather along the coastlines of Boa Vista to mate and nurse their young. Patience and good fortune are key components of spotting these incredible performers; however, with careful observation and perhaps a bit of luck, you may witness the mesmerizing displays of natural acrobatics typical of humpback whales.
The tour concludes after approximately three hours at sea, upon which you'll disembark and return to the Port of Sal Rei. There, a driver will promptly escort you back to your accommodation.
