Head out to sea and discover the
Principality from a whole new angle, as you embark on an adventure to meet the
marine mammals of the Pelagos sanctuary.
Tour
operators Méditerranée Riviera Navigation and Monaco Riviera Navigation both
run excursions with a chance to come face to face with the great creatures of
the deep.
Hop aboard their boat “Atlantide 2” for an experience you’ll never forget.
There are two trips available, both departing from Monaco’s Port Hercule:
WHALE WATCHING
Start
your day with a fun excursion with family or friends, and spot the dolphins and
whales in the Pelagos sanctuary, a marine protected area that’s home to a
multitude of cetaceans swimming freely in the waters from dolphins to a variety
of whales, including the huge sperm whales, not to mention turtles, Mobula
rays, sea birds, and more.
The guided tour lasts a half-day (4 hours 30 minutes) and is open to all!
(provision is made for persons with disabilities). To make the very most of the
experience, the boat is designed with a minimal acoustic signature, reducing
the noise it generates as it approaches marine mammals and helping to protect
wildlife.
Every thrilling and educational trip will leave you with memories to last a
lifetime.
MONACO BY SEA
A
unique way to see the Principality of Monaco from the water. Set sail between from Cap d’Ail to
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, feel in the sea breeze in your hair, and admire the
Mediterranean in all its stunning panoramic glory.
An essential experience during your stay in Monaco!
TRAVEL IN STYLE WITH THE TAXIBOAT
Get
from A to B in Monaco, or visit places and beaches along the Riviera by sea
(transfers between Nice airport and Ventimiglia), with the taxiboat for up to
12 people.
TAXIBOAT PRIVATE HIRE
Hire
the taxiboat for an hour or longer (with driver), and explore the crystalline
waters of the Principality and surrounding area at your own pace.
TIPS
To
make the most of your trip to sea, be prepared! For your comfort, remember to
take sunglasses, a hat, sunblock, warm clothing and a windcheater or anorak
(depending on the time of year and weather), drinks, and a camera to capture
those special moments and share them with your loved ones.
