Tadjourah Gulf

From mid-October to February, plankton ‘blooms’ develop in an enclosed bay named The Gulf of Tadjourah near Djibouti City. Although whale sharks can be seen throughout the year, encounters are especially common from October to February. The plankton-rich waters of Djibouti attract many of the great pelagic species. Recent research has recognized the particular importance of the bay in the development of juvenile whale sharks, which stay within the safe confines of Djibouti’s coast line. The rich feeding grounds that make up Djibouti’s coastal waters attract a range of other different species, alongside manta rays, beaked and pilot whales. Additionally, most species of dolphin are represented in great numbers off Djibouti’s coast, and are often seen ‘running’ the bow wave of boats. Grey and nurse sharks are the most commonly encountered species, whilst both tiger and hammerhead sharks have occasionally been seen. This itinerary is absolutely recommended besides the divers to snorkelers and free divers.
