- A naturalistic approach:
Because cetaceans live in such a vast environment, we can't guarantee their presence on every excursion. We do not focus exclusively on dolphin and whale watching. Nature Essentielle is also committed to helping you discover the full range of marine biodiversity: seabirds, fish, turtles, etc. - Respect for a code of conduct:
We guarantee you an approach to dolphins and whales that respects the code of conduct for cetacean watching in the Mediterranean, established by the Pelagos and ACCOBAMS agreements. - An educational approach:
Throughout your excursion, Nature Essentielle will provide you with educational information acquired during training sessions organised by the Souffleurs d'Ecume association, - Waste sorting:
As part of our ethic of responsibility, we are committed to the selective collection of waste on board our boats. - DO NOT swim with whales:
This service is of particular concern to the scientific community, both for reasons of disturbance to the animals and for the safety of tourists who are put in the water close to wild predators. These marine mammals have already had the opportunity to remind dozens of over-enthusiastic swimmers that they are not cuddly toys! Out of concern for your safety and the animals' tranquillity, approved operators will not offer you the chance to dive near a dolphin or whale. - NO aerial support:
Used to spot whales and dolphins, it is also a source of concern. The Groupement d'Intérêt Scientifique pour les Mammifères Marins de Méditerranée (GIS3M) considers this practice to be incompatible with an activity of high environmental quality, as it is likely to increase the pressure on the animals.
