Overview

Get ready for the experience of a lifetime observing majestic whales, in their natural environment in the beautiful Indian Ocean. Qualified skippers will use a hydrophone to locate the whales, while keeping a safe distance, ensuring a sustainable experience. This tour is a photographer's dream!

Itinerary

This excursion includes hotel pickup and dropoff in a private vehicle.

Join our professional and qualified skippers on a 2.5-hour whale-watching tour, starting near the picturesque fishing village of Tamarin, and travel to the open seas to view these magnificent marine mammals in their natural habitat.

Humpback whales can be sighted off the Mauritian coast between July and September/October when they move from the South pole to warmer seas near the equator to reproduce, give birth, and breed before getting back to the antarctic while the Sperm whales can be observed almost all year round.

Once you get on board the speedboat, the skippers will start by briefing you on the most important aspects of this experience, including the types of whales that you will encounter and their habits and guidelines for sustainable whale watching.

Please note that there is a 60% chance that you will see the whales but if that is not the case, we will be unable to provide you with a refund due to the high fuel costs, so please consider this before making the booking.

Everything on time, only 4 people (+2 crew members) on board a fast going ship. We saw many groups of whales. Perfect, quick, well provided trip.

What an amazing experience we saw sperm whales and dolphins. Staff on board were excellent, very informative and friendly. There were some other boat trips with different companies that were allow people to try and swim with the whales which is apparently illegal. Bonjour Mauritius we’re excellent and I would recommend them

We saw three female sperm whales and it was magical. Bonus having a huge pod of spotted dolphins on the way back to the harbour. Unfortunately there were other boats allowing people to jump in and swim after the whales. This is not allowed under Mauritian rules, but I guess people can be selfish.

What an amazing two hour experience. We saw pilot whales, several sperm whales and around eight humpback whales, a male, 6 female and a calf. The boat crew were excellent, knowledgable and very respectful of the whales and the waters. A once in lifetime experience that I will forever be cherished.
