Itinerary

Full description

Boa Vista is a hotspot for whale watching. The impressive humpback whales (adult size approx. 15 m) stay around Boa Vista from March to May to mate or give birth to their babies. Your chance for unforgettable experiences! This half-day cruise takes you to the waters around the island to spot these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Start with collection from your hotel and travel to the port of Sal Rei. From there, transfer to the dinghy yacht. Board the yacht and meet its crew, who can boast more than 12 years' experience on whale-watching trips in Boa Vista. Receive a detailed briefing with lots of interesting facts about humpback whales. All tours are accompanied by local biologists, so you can learn as much as possible about the incredible wildlife. After the briefing, start your quest to find the humpback whales. From March to May, the whales are abundant in the waters off Boa Vista when they migrate to the region to mate and give birth to their young. With patience and a bit of luck, try to spot some whales in their natural habitat as they swim, play and perform dazzling natural acrobatic shows. After around 3 hours in the ocean, return to Sal Rei harbour and you will be taken back to your hotel.

FAQs

What do I bring on a half day / full day trip?
We require guests to be barefooted while on board, since this ensures the safest grip on the surface. We will of course store your shoe wear safely at all times. Please bring a towel, if you want to go in the water. Also please bring sunscreen, and sun glasses/sun hat, if you need it.
What if someone gets sea sick?
If you know, you have a tendency of motion sickness, it can be a good idea to take an over the counter antihistamine, or whatever you usually take for this, before going to the pier (follow the instructions of the specific product). This will most likely ensure, that you will have a beautiful trip. Otherwise we have many ways and great experience in trying to ensure your comfort, and you should not be worried. There are many things, we can do, like letting you steer the yacht, and we all want you to have a perfect trip!
