Snorkeling with humpback whales in Madagascar

About this list

If you want to go snorkeling with humpback whales in Madagascar, the useful question is not whether the humpback whales are there but who will take you to them that way. Maptlantis lists only the 3 operators in Madagascar that name the humpback whale as a target species and actually run snorkeling. 1 of the 3 operators (33%) publishes prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, Aug–Nov and Jun–Sep among them. There is no single season for humpback whale trips in Madagascar, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. Operators with structured encounter data list humpback whale and green sea turtle as target species. Ways to meet them: boat-based watching and snorkeling. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
