4.00Whales seen. Got really wet on the speedboat. It was a beautiful experience. Don't forget to apply cream! And film camera by camera underwater. There were also small snacks and something to drink. The advantage of just whale-watching is that you simply have more time and therefore a greater chance of finding multiple whales. We were about 3 hours with 12 people on the "small" boat.
Brilliant day watching Whales, swimming with dolphins and snorkelling

5.00What a brilliant day seeing sperm whales in their natural habitat and swimming with dolphins in the Indian Ocean. The staff on the boat where brilliant and encouraged those who were less confident to get in the sea experience something wonderful. The driver to and from the venue Sam was very knowledgable about Mauritius and made sure we got there and back safely. Thank you for an experience we as a family will never forget.
another fantastic day in paradise

5.00Fantastic day out , with a great crew , these guys really took care of us and were very respectful of the whales and dolphins that we saw . We were lucky enough to see a female humpback and her calf , as well as another whale that breached , its was amazing . We then returned to swim with the dolphins ,(5 bottlenose) , which was great though a bit frantic getting in and out of the boat. Lastly we got to swim around a beautiful reef which was teeming with fish , a fantastic day in all , and I would highly recommend this company . One issue , which doesnt include this companies boats at all , let me be clear on this , there are other companies that offer swimming with whales , these companies are totally irresponsible not only to the whales but other tourists that have paid to see the whales , they come really close and stress the whales out , which makes them dive and swim away , so just be cautious who you book with .
