Thanks to the unique characteristics of the coastline, whales can often be seen just 15 to 20 meters from the shore, sometimes even allowing visitors to hear their breathing, creating a truly unforgettable experience. During the excursion, different beaches and viewpoints will be visited depending on tides and whale activity to ensure the best possible whale watching conditions.
