During the cruise, you will discover many islands, all very different from each other, with a sometimes arid nature, sometimes tropical and dense, sheltering an endemic flora and fauna. You will visit small villages of fishermen and builders of traditional pirogues, and will meet the villagers, whose kindness and smiles make the charm and the reputation of the country.

You will discover the many marine species that populate the Indian Ocean by swimming above the corals which shelter a multitude of fish of all the colors. You will swim alongside green or hawksbill turtles, numerous in the region; you may be able to witness the hatching of the eggs and see the baby turtles join the ocean. You will encounter dolphins, humpback whales and whale sharks depending on the time of year.

Every year from July to the end of December humpback whales come to feed in warm Malagasy waters, rich in plankton. Many of them have a baby. At this time, many travelers observe these majestic sirens. Our team is specialized in the observation of humpback whales.

For many years, Max has offered trips to meet these giant seas, with safety rules, and a respectful approach to disturb them as little as possible in their movements.

Also, in recent years Nosy Be has attracted many tourists to watch and swim with whale sharks, many in the region during the same period, also benefiting from plankton abundance.
