Whales in Guadeloupe: The archipelago is a privileged area for cetacean observation. While the humpback whale, present from December to May, and the sperm whale, seen year-round, are among the most common encounters, some species remain exceptionally rare. Beaked whales, such as Cuvier’s beaked whale and Gervais’ beaked whale, remind us that seeing whales in Guadeloupe is above all an experience of patience, respect, and humility in the face of the ocean.

During certain sea excursions, Soleil Excursions has been lucky enough to observe sperm whales lying motionless, engines stopped, sometimes sleeping vertically beneath the surface. These suspended moments offer a privileged glimpse into the life of sperm whales in Guadeloupe and remind us of the fragility and richness of these marine giants.
