Dauphins
Depending on the encounters made and the time remaining, we will try to reach the more distant whale watching areas . These, as well as sperm whales , are regularly observed during this type of cruise.
Accompanied by naturalists and photographers from Découverte du Vivant, we will offer an onboard presentation, as well as talks over the microphone, covering biological aspects of all the species encountered during the trip. La Croix du Sud V is a member of 'High Quality Whale Watching®', guaranteeing sustainable and respectful whale watching.
During each cruise, a free visual report is provided by the naturalists of Découverte du Vivant.
IMPORTANT : As sea conditions vary each time, return times are given as an indication.

GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS
Good weather guarantees the chances of observing whales and dolphins. It is mainly the strength of the wind and the swell that will allow us to set sail or not. In calm seas, the slightest sign (fin, back, blow) on the surface of the water is visible for miles. However, beyond a force 4 wind, it becomes difficult to make fruitful observations with the foam.
IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER
Cruise confirmation is defined by the broadcast of weather reports issued 24 hours before departure. In case of cancellation, registered participants will receive an email and a text message. People who booked on our site will have the option to postpone their reservation or receive a refund (except for gift vouchers) via the link received. For people who booked directly at the dock, they will be invited to contact us again for the postponement or to come to the dock for a refund (except for gift vouchers).
No refunds will be made for people who did not participate in the booked cruise without a valid reason (medical certificate).
