Dolphin and Whale Watching: In Search of Wildlife
Our Whale Watching excursion "In Search of Wildlife" is designed to offer you an exceptional encounter with dolphins, whales and sperm whales, but more generally with Mediterranean wildlife including turtles, rays, sunfish and seabirds in their natural environment.
Search for wildlife, dolphins and whales
On this offshore cruise between Hyères and Le Lavandou, you'll have the chance to discover the majestic marine creatures that inhabit the waters of the Mediterranean, particularly the Pelagos sanctuary, off the coast of the Port-Cros National Park. We offer you a rare opportunity to observe them by boat in their natural habitat , departing from Bormes les Mimosas.
Enjoy a stopover on Porquerolles (and maybe Port-Cros too!)
On your return from your excursion off the marine heart of the Parc National de Port-Cros, we suggest you discover the terrestrial heart of the Park. Enjoy a free stopover of around 3 hours on the islands of Europe's first marine park: Porquerolles (and maybe Port-Cros too!). You'll be able to stretch your legs and recover from your emotions.
