Optional extension trip with Mark to find one of the world's rarest whales!
After the Festival, there is a chance to book on a very special trip with Mark in search of one of the world’s rarest baleen whales, the Omura’s whale. From a convenient and comfortable base on the tropical island of Nosy Be, an island in the far northwest of Madagascar, we take daily charters into the warm waters of the bay of Nosy Be, home to a resident population of Omura’s whale. Nosy Be is probably the most reliable location in the world to see this only recently described (2003) and relatively little-known tropical species. We hope to find the whales each day, perhaps feeding in the company of whale sharks, which also congregate in this area. In November, both these ocean giants are attracted by an abundance of krill and zooplankton.

Date 11- 18 November 2026: places still available

Group size 6-12 people

Cost per person from £4,455; single supplement £795 (including international and regional flights)
