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!

The trip was fantastic, the crew was excellent and very friendly. They helped us find a lot of sperm whales we saw them up close. We swam with dolphins and saw them clearly under us. It was excellent.

Great time with friends where we saw sperm whales and dolphins while respecting the rules and especially their well-being! Congratulations to the skipper of Whale dream to always prioritise animal welfare and respect for the rules!

Right from the beginning Clemence and team were on top of the game. They and the team are the best and most ethical whale watching skippers in Mauritius. Friendly patient and knowledgeable, they know what to do even if the sperm whales were being hard to find. The boat is well maintained and squeaky clean. Adventure of a lifetime.

Everything was well organized and on time. The skippers were very friendly and always made sure we were okay. We were passed on a lot of knowledge. The whales were respected and we could hear them with the hydrophone. We saw four whales in total. Afterwards we went to a well-known dolphin bay to swim with them. There were unfortunately a lot of boats on site, so it felt like a dolphin hunt (all still paid attention to everyone's safety) and we quickly stopped this part of the trip. There were drinks and cakes on the boat.

It was a great experience, they were very clear from the beginning with flyers and our options clearly, how to reach the meeting point etc. For the whale watching itself, our crew was amazing, they were spotting the whales from meters away and we were usually there as the first boat to observe the beautiful whales by ourselves, as our captain called it "VIP viewing" However, I think we were the only boat that weren't swimming and disturbing the poor creatures. Others were placing their boats in front of them, swimming extremely close even though it's strictly forbidden. So if you are reading this, please be considerate and stick to the ethical watching.

The best time ever for our family (Mum, Dad & 2 Adult children). From arrival at meeting point to our departure looked after sooooo well. And most importantly did we see whales - yes, 6 in total including right by the boat a mother and her two calves - so, so impressive. We also saw dolphins. Drinks and snacks were provided, which was appreciated because of the early start Thanks to all involved in making it such a brilliant trip. I could not recommend Whale Dream more enthusiastically to anyone wanting to see whales and considering booking them.

This is our first of our lives! We have a novice level so we won’t pretend to have lived the experience to the full. But it was a great experience:))

What an experience, fantastic! Seen so many whales and swam among the dolphins! For us it was also very important to see that they treated the animals very respectfully. Other boats let people swim with the whales, which is not allowed! It causes the whales so much stress! Sad to see that so many organizations do not adhere to that at all! Whale dream happy! And the experience was no less because of it, but extra special and beautiful!

We didn’t know we needed to close in advance and when I approached them everything was already full, as soon as there was room, they made sure to send me a message and we were very happy about the opportunity! 6500 rupees per person, watching squirrels and swimming with dolphins. We left at 6 a.m. with a group of 8 people, the boat was relatively large and comfortable and there was room for everyone. At first we didn't see the lions but they were important because we could see and they really invested and took to a further point just so we could see and we did see 4!!! Although we almost run out of time, they returned to the dolphin area so we could swim with them and it was definitely an amazing experience. warmly recommended. **According to the law in Mauritius it is forbidden to swim with leopards, they observe the law but we have seen others not.
