Our historical foundations
Worldwide referenced bases
Responsible whale watching starts here.
The origins of our environmental organization.
Since 1981, in Maui, Hawaii, the Shelltone Whale Project has explored a unique form of communication with whales.
Through music. Through presence. Through shared moments in the water.
These years of research led to a method.
A way to approach without disturbance. A way to create trust.
Today, this approach guides every encounter.
The problem of abusive whale watching
Today, cetaceans are increasingly exposed. Interactions are multiplying. Pressure is rising.
The Shelltone Whale Project defines a new standard for human–cetacean interaction.
A more respectful approach. A more attentive presence. A more natural encounter.
The Shelltone Whale Project charter The CHOOSE RESPECT Chapter
Access to whales is not the objective.
The quality of the interaction is.
Encounters are not created. They are allowed.
A framework is defined. Conditions are respected.
When everything is aligned, the encounter may happen.
OUR MISSION? TO PROVIDE YOU WITH UNFORGETTABLE ENCOUNTERS WITH CETACEANS, WHILE GUARANTEEING THEIR PROTECTION.
