Cruises departing from Saint-Cyprien

A valid form of identification (national ID card or passport) is mandatory for trips to Spain. It will be requested for each passenger when booking.

As disembarkation at Cadaqués takes place directly onto the beach via a set of steps, we are unable to accommodate passengers with reduced mobility on this cruise.

As the beach where we disembark does not allow dogs, we are unable to accept them on board for this excursion.

Thank you for your understanding

PRACTICAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

SPECIAL NOTES FOR THIS CRUISE

• Due to very high demand, we are often fully booked more than a week in advance. We strongly recommend booking your seats online, ideally at the start of your stay
• Our average sighting rate is 97% since 2017, which is exceptional. However, as these outings take place in a natural environment, systematic observation of cetaceans and other species cannot be guaranteed
• Certified High Quality Whale Watching®, cetacean observation time is limited to 30 minutes. The duration of the outing may therefore vary, affecting the return time. By choosing an operator that adheres to the principles of non-disturbance of dolphins and other species, you contribute to the harmonious, sustainable development of the activity and help preserve these species in their marine environment. We join Miraceti in condemning practices that go against the wellbeing of cetaceans, find out more
• The outing runs subject to a minimum of 25 passengers and favourable weather conditions.
• In bad weather, children, older people, passengers with reduced mobility and other sensitive passengers will be invited to postpone or cancel the outing with a refund. In choppy seas, offshore outings can be uncomfortable. They continue as long as passenger safety is assured. Please follow the recommendations of the ticket staff and crew.
