Description

Set off to meet humpback whales in the Caledonian lagoon with Dal’Océan! Embark on a comfortable catamaran or a fast rigid inflatable boat for an unforgettable day of respectful observation and discovery.
From mid-July to mid-September, Dal’Océan offers a unique whale watching experience in the southern lagoon of New Caledonia, between Amédée, Mont-Dore, Mato Pass and Dumbéa Pass. Guided by trained skippers committed to eco-friendly practices in partnership with the Southern Province, this outing is conducted with the utmost respect for the whales, following the agreed code of conduct. You can choose between two types of boats: - Sailing catamaran: full comfort with indoor and outdoor spaces, toilets, cabins, and coffee/tea available — perfect for a relaxing day at sea. - Covered rigid inflatable boat: fast and friendly, ideal for combining half a day of whale watching with half a day on a southern lagoon islet. Departures are guaranteed from 8 passengers. Boarding takes place at Pontoon E, Port Brunelet, Nouméa.
