2-day Sunrise Whale Watching & African Sleepover Trip
Join us for a 2-day sailing experience observing cetaceans through the Strait of Gibraltar
Step aboard a sailing boat for a two-day, one-night journey through one of Europe’s richest marine biodiversity hotspots. Sail between two continents and three countries, at the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. We will navigate the Strait of Gibraltar in search of cetaceans, spending time at sea observing wildlife, learning about the region, and enjoying the experience of life on board.
We will spend the night in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave on the north coast of Africa, bordered by Morocco and overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. The city sits at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, with views towards Morocco in Africa and Spain and Gibraltar in Europe.
What makes this experience special
- A 2-day, 1-night sailing journey through the Strait of Gibraltar
- Heidi and Harald from Sailingtealie on board, together with an expert cetacean guide from the WeWhale team
- A peaceful and intimate experience for couples, friends, solo travellers and small groups
- The chance to look for cetaceans in one of the richest areas of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic
- Sunrise at sea and an overnight stay on board in Ceuta
No chasing animals. We observe wildlife calmly and respectfully, letting the sea set the rhythm of the experience.
Depending on the season and conditions, species may include Common Dolphins, Striped Dolphins, Bottlenose Dolphins, Pilot Whales, Sperm Whales, Fin Whales and, on occasion, Iberian orcas.
