Whale Watching with the Experts

Whale watching trips in Madagascar

From July to September humpback whales pass through the narrow, shallow channel between mainland Madagascar and Ile Ste Marie on their way to their breeding grounds.

We are able to offer clients visiting Madagascar the chance to help with data collection on board a research boat run by Megaptera who are involved in research to aid conservation.

Volunteers will be briefed in the morning and will then be part of the team for a day on the boat. Each will have responsibilities ranging from locating the whales blowing, using the hydrophones or noting down the position of a group of whales using GPS.

Not only will the data collected help with the research but also the cost of the trip will help finance the scientists and material involved.
