Le Grau-du-Roi: Seabird Watching Naturalist Cruise

Embark on a seabird watching cruise in the Gulf of Aigues-Mortes with expert ornithologists and wildlife photographers.
Discover the diverse birdlife of the Gulf of Aigues-Mortes and Petite Camargue on our Seabird Watching Naturalist Cruise. This unique excursion, guided by professional ornithologists and wildlife photographers, offers an incredible opportunity to learn about and observe various seabird species in their natural habitat.

Departing from Colbert dock in Le Grau-du-Roi, our 4-hour cruise takes place on Saturdays from November to May, with departure times varying by season. Meet us 30 minutes before departure to ensure a timely start. As we set sail, you'll be introduced to the basics of seabird biology and learn how to recognize different species.

At the back of the ship, you'll witness a spectacular sight: a cloud of several hundred birds attracted by fish. This avian assembly includes the magnificent Northern Gannet, various shearwaters, gulls, seagulls, terns, and lesser-known species like the Razorbill and skuas, known as the pirates of the sea. The close proximity to these birds, showcasing their diving, landing, and flying behaviors, provides excellent opportunities for wildlife photography.

Additionally, there's a good chance of encountering other marine predators such as Bottlenose dolphins and bluefin tuna during the excursion.
