Come with us for an amazing encounter with the whales! On board one of our speed boats, our crew will use a hydrophone to try to localize the whales along the west coast. Their blows can also help localize them. Sperm whales can be observed all year round while humpback whales can be observed between June and October. Once on site, our crew will give you more information about these majestic marine mammals. We will respect approach rules and minimum distance in order to avoid disturbing them. Don't forget your cameras to immortalize this wonderful moment! Water and soft drinks will be served during the tour. The tour ends at around 1 p.m. We guarantee a 60% chance to see the whales.

I would highly recommend this company for whale and dolphin watching in Mauritius. They accommodated us at short notice and went above and beyond to make sure our dreams came true before we were due to flew home. We were able to see and swim with dolphins and even spotted three sperm whales during our boat trip, including a mother and baby which was an absolutely magical experience! The team was respectful of all of the animals and operated with the highest ethical standards. Our skippers, Tom and Didier, were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. We thank them so much for an unforgettable experience. We had an amazing time and myself and partner would highly recommend them for creating a memory that will last a lifetime.

We had a wonderful tour and were incredibly lucky. We spent a long time alone with a young sperm whale. I would like to emphasise in particular that the welfare of the Waale has been given great attention, this unfortunately cannot be said of other providers. After some time, they did not arrive carefully and then went snorkeling, so the Waal was then also very quickly gone.

Fast-paced tour by speedboat out to sea, experienced skipper and guide, large whale family discovered and observed. However, the tour lasted only around . 2 hours instead of the stated time of 3 hours. Also there was water on request only in the cup, not in bottles for the individual; unfortunately there were no other drinks! Therefore, deduction of total points...

One of the best experiences of my life. Our tour group was tiny - just the three of us plus another couple, which made the whole thing feel personal and special. We saw so many whales, and incredibly close too - their size is unbelievable when you’re right beside them. The staff were fantastic - enthusiastic and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best experience possible. I honestly can’t imagine a better whale-watching trip than this.
Really worth it

We were lucky as we saw 3 whales. We left on time and had a brief safety talk. The team were very respectful of the whales. The sea was getting a bit rough so the trip was ended a bit early but that was fine. We were told to hold on tight as the boat would be jumping about which it did. Tips: Easy to find, you can park in the streets near the jetty. Only take a small bag as not really anywhere to store anything. Be prepared to get wet/soaked (depending where you're sat). Bare feet in the boat.

Nice team, despite the delay they waited for us. After a short time we saw a large sperm whale and had enough time to take pictures. Particular emphasis was placed on not harassing the whale, which we found great!

You should be seaworthy.We were very lucky and saw a sperm whale family with a calf. There was also a male sperm whale nearby. On the way back, a dolphin school was following us.
