Whale watching sainte marie island or humpbackes whales st. marie island between june and september. Madagascar: “Big Island” of the Indian Ocean, “sanctuary of nature”, “island-continent”, “paradise unknown”, “cultural crossroads” … Tourist brochures incense this lost land off Africa , and yet so close, sometimes, of Asia. But Tanindrazana, the “land of ancestors” is not reduced to these shiny slogans or shimmering stereotypes. How to describe the fascinating color schemes, these shades of purple, vermilion, cobalt, ebony, opal, emerald and jade, so many lively watercolors that enchant the eye …? Madagasikara is more. Each trip is different, that’s why we come back constantly, as hungry for new beauties, as intoxicated with aromas even more powerful than the incense of mysterious forests. And, it is the ideal destination to approach the mythical humpback whales between mid-June and early October.

Whale watching Sainte Marie Madagascar : a magical moment to not be ignored

There is an urgency to discover this wonderful country, where everything is possible and unlikely. Let’s face it, it’s one of the poorest countries in the world. However, what smiles everywhere offered abroad, the vazaha that all children salute everywhere, that shared joy without restraint or false modesty! Madagascar gives itself and does not recover. Do not come and look for what you can not find: adventure is everywhere, every moment. This is the price of an unusual meeting, an appointment with the dead and our cousins ​​lemurs. Have your eyes open, your hand outstretched, your mind full of enchantment to share. Go free and without prejudices: these nourish ignorance and perpetuate exclusion. Happy as one who dreams of a long journey – for the days here are an eternity. A magic and haunting attraction: humpback whales crisscross the Malagasy coast from July to October. Sainte Marie island is today the most popular destination to observe these peaceful humpback whales st. marie island, but you should know that it is possible to admire them almost everywhere: in Tulear, Fort Dauphin, Nosy Be, Maroantsetra, Sambava …

Humpback whales  sainte marie : An impressive animal

The humpback whales sainte marie is between 14 and 17 m long (the largest specimen identified is 19 m tall) and weighs about 40 tons: a beautiful baby! It is found in all the seas of the world (even in southern Patagonia), and is the object, as in Sainte Marie island, of a little more “ecological” and tourist attention in recent years: it is the ” whale-watching “(whale watching). It is identified by its black color on the top, whitish on the underside, but one of its main characteristics is the tubers (small protuberances, in fact hair follicles) on his head. The undulations of the caudal fin, the scars and the black or white spots are specific to each individual.

The humpback whales surfaces regularly and then expels the air from its lungs.

The humpback wales are  forming a kind of “geyser” up to 3 m high while expelling the air from its lungs! This is when she shows her famous “hump”, in fact her back that is round before probing (that is to say to dive).

The sexual parades (jumps, vertical dressings, water strikes with the fins, dodges) take place during the winter (austral … The months of June to September are thus favorable times to observe them around Madagascar). At this moment, the males enter a wild competition for the sweet eyes of their beautiful. The game can last several hours, new contenders can replace the riders rejected by the lady: there were more than twenty males around a single female! It should be noted that these artistic manifestations have also been observed outside the reproduction period, which would mean that they also have a communication role.

Whale watching Sainte Marie Island : an extraordinary natural event in Madagascar

Let’s mention again the other famous feature of humpback whales: the song. They may start singing for several days. The melody, consisting of shades of low notes, is extremely complex, and coherent sound sequences are repeated. As humpback whales only sing in the mating season, it is assumed that this is a means of seduction.

Sainte Marie island, tropical paradise of Madagascar

Equidistant from Toamasina and Antongil Bay, Sainte Marie (160 km2 for about 22 000 inhabitants) is a tropical oasis that captivates. With its beautiful beaches and indolent atmosphere reminiscent of earthly paradise, most travelers are seduced and come back delighted. We, too, have greatly appreciated the kindness of the inhabitants, their sweetness of life, and the rugged beauty of its coasts (north and east especially, or on the island with mats). However, if the island counts a good number of hotels and service providers, the tourism remains here very measured.
