100% Freediving School
About Us
The story begins in 2011 when Elina, Arthur and Tanguy created Baleines Rand'eau in Nosy Be, a tourism activity for watching humpback whales, whale sharks, turtles, dolphins… Baleines Rand'eau are recognized in Nosy Be for their passion for the underwater world, their professionalism and their commitment to a responsible approach to tourism activity.
​
Developing a freediving structure has been a desire since the first days. Ten years later, the meeting with Guillaume, finally allows us to initiate a Freediving project. "Freedive Nosy Be" is born !
​
Our "100% freediving" school reinforces the desire to interact with the marine environment by integrating into it in the most natural and respectful way possible. Our team is also very involved in raising awareness and protecting the marine world through various projects and associations.
