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.
