During this season in Mauritius, you can spot sperm whales, pilot whales, humpback whales, spinner dolphins, and bottlenose dolphins.The price covers the entire boat and includes snorkeling equipment, soft drinks, and some snacks.Our trips begins at 6 am. Starting early allows us to be the first boat out, enhancing our chances of encountering whales. The calm morning sea makes it easier to locate them using the hydrophone.Please note, swimming with whales is prohibited in Mauritius, and we strictly adhere to this regulation. We swim only with dolphins.After whale watching, we may also observe dolphins, provided there aren't too many boats pursuing them. If so, we prioritize not disturbing these marine animals.We aim to return by 9am about , depending on the location of the whales and dolphins. While spotting wildlife is never guaranteed, there's currently a 90% chance of encountering whales.We strive to provide the best experience possible every day!

Seen a group of sperm-whales after an exciting search and afterwards we were all alone with a mommy and baby sperm-whale. Thanks to our amazing skippers for the good instincts and good mood all the time. Also swimming with the dolphins was nice. The other couple with us on the boat struggled to get in the right position to see them in the water, so the skipper just hopped in the water and let them follow him. Drinks, snack and snorkeling-equipment was provided. Thanks to everybody!

Great swimming experience with dolphins: the crew (2 people) is very considerate, explains everything and guides us as best we can. What a magic when you see the first dolphins in the distance, then when you go into the water and they pass right under you in crystal clear water. We took the GoPro and scooter option to make the most of the ride. The scooter in the corals is a very nice...and relaxing experience! Thank you to Tom and Didier for your kindness.

The boat spacious and comfortable, many soft drinks were there and good snacks.

This was on my wife's bucket list. Having been previously disappointed in Costa Rica and Madeira we were not expecting to see much. How wrong we were. Didier and Tom the captain and first mate were incredible and got us to within feet of several female Sperm whales and their calves as well as Bottlenose and Spinner Dolphins. It was the most incredible experience and worth absolutely every penny of the 140 Euros we paid for it. Totally recommend Whale Dreams. Very professional, super informative and friendly

From start to finish, this whale trip was truly unforgettable. The ocean offered breathtaking encounters, but what made the experience extraordinary were the skippers. With their keen eyes they ensured we witnessed whales surfacing and playing from the very best vantage points. This company delivers more than just a whale trip. It’s an ocean adventure guided by people who genuinely care, turning a remarkable outing into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Great experience. I've seen sperm whales and dolphins. I was able to swim with dolphins (with sperm whales it is forbidden!) Ryan and Didier were great: very professional and kind. Whale Dream - Whales watching is the organizer to choose first, because it is private (so you are not in a group with people you do not know) and this organizer is respectful of nature: you do not swim with sperm whales, unlike other organisms defying this legal prohibition. A wonderful experience, thank you again.
