Sperm whale watching in Guadeloupe is a unique and unforgettable experience, thanks in particular to the presence of year-round resident females.
Unlike males, who are migratory and travel the waters alone, female sperm whales find the warm waters of Guadeloupe a haven in which to raise their young and form close-knit social groups, living in matriarchal bands.
Watching sperm whales in Guadeloupe in their natural environment is a fascinating, almost magical experience.
A special encounter with sperm whales in Guadeloupe
At Soleil Excursions, sperm whale watching in Guadeloupe is more than just a trip out to sea. It's an adventure that plunges you into the heart of marine life, where authenticity and respect for the environment are at the heart of our approach.
Over the years, our captains have forged special bonds with these majestic creatures. It's not uncommon to see sperm whales approaching the boat, passing underneath, and sometimes even making eye contact with us.
These moments of interaction with sperm whales are exceptional, and it even seems that some of them recognize our boat, so deep is the bond forged over time.
The magic of the hydrophone : listening to sperm whales
To locate these giants of the sea, we use a valuable tool: the hydrophone.
This device enables us to capture the sounds made by sperm whales, including their characteristic clicks used for communication and echolocation.
This technology gives us a fascinating insight into underwater life, and helps us to locate groups of sperm whales in the vast expanses of the ocean.
So you're not only a visual witness to their presence, but also a privileged listener to their mysterious conversations.
Marine diversity : Sperm whales, dolphins, whales in Guadeloupe
As well as sperm whales, Guadeloupe is a sanctuary for many species of cetacean.
Our waters are also home to many different species of dolphin, which you can observe all year round. Spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and fraser dolphins are among the most frequently sighted species.
What's more, from December to May, the majestic humpback whales migrate to our warm waters to give birth and feed their young. These encounters with cetaceans in Guadeloupe are magical, unmissable moments for nature lovers.
Sperm whale watching in Guadeloupe is a must for anyone wishing to discover the richness of marine life in an authentic, unspoilt setting.
