Après un briefing sur les règles de sécurité et le respect des animaux nous sommes partis en mer. Nous avons pu apercevoir les baleines et les dauphins mais ne les avons malheureusement pas vu dans l'eau car elles n'en avaient pas envie ! C'est ça la nature. Nous avons tout de même pu entendre des interactions entre baleine et baleineau sous l'eau !

Nous avons vécu en famille une belle expérience pour tenter de voir les baleines avec mise à l’eau. Il faut s’armer de patience. Nous avons vu beaucoup de baleines au dessus de l’eau avec pour certaines des sauts. Mais nous n’avons pas réussi à voir les baleines sous l’eau, la nature en avait choisi autrement pour nous. Nous avons juste pu entendre les sons sous l’eau car nous étions proches. À prendre en compte, qu’il fait un bon niveau de nage en mer avec palmes pour réaliser cette sortie.
