Experience a Once-in-a-Lifetime Whale Watching Adventure at the Ultra-Luxurious Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

Hilton Seychelles, September 3rd, 2024 – Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island, the pinnacle of ultra-luxury in the Seychelles, invites travelers to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey: witnessing the majestic humpback whales in their natural habitat. As the only resort on the private Platte Island, Waldorf Astoria offers an unparalleled vantage point to observe these magnificent creatures as they breach and play in the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean.

From July to November, Platte Island becomes a prime location for humpback whale sightings, providing guests with the rare opportunity to witness these gentle ocean giants up close. Last November, visitors were treated to an unforgettable spectacle as humpback whales breached just outside the island’s serene lagoon.

To enhance this extraordinary experience, Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island is also offering an exclusive boat trip as part of their Ocean Safari activity. For only AED 750 per person, with a minimum of 4 participants, guests can embark on a thrilling whale-watching journey. This activity, dependent on weather and tide conditions, allows guests to venture into the open ocean for a chance to spot these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. While sightings cannot be guaranteed, the opportunity to witness humpback whales during this season is incredibly high.

With its distinctive hump, long pectoral fins, and hauntingly beautiful songs, this whale is one of the most captivating marine creatures. Known for their spectacular breaching behavior—launching their massive bodies out of the water—these whales are a favorite among whale watchers around the world. Their long migrations, traveling thousands of miles between feeding and breeding grounds, make their presence in the Seychelles a rare and treasured event. Witnessing a humpback whale breaching against the backdrop of the turquoise ocean is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, making Platte Island an unmissable destination for both nature enthusiasts and luxury seekers.

Whether you're a seasoned traveler or visiting the Seychelles for the first time, Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island promises an unforgettable journey into luxury and nature. Don’t miss the chance to witness the magnificent humpback whales and create forever memories in one of the world’s most exclusive and breathtaking settings.
