Dolphins & whale watching｜Mauritius

Experience the thrill of encountering dolphins in their natural habitat with us. Depending on the season, our motorboat departs between 4:45 am and 6:15 am, offering a breathtaking sunrise view over the mountains for early risers. Whale watching is also part of our program; year-round sightings of sperm whales are possible, with humpback whales appearing from June to September (subject to variation). Please note that swimming with whales is strictly prohibited in Mauritius.

If time permits, we'll also visit a snorkeling spot to explore the vibrant marine life.

Our boat, a 26-foot Legend powered by twin 150 hp engines and equipped with complete bedding, comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests (occasionally 8) plus crew. Fins, snorkels, and masks are provided onboard. In rare instances, such as maintenance or unforeseen circumstances, we may use an alternative boat.

For dolphin swimming enthusiasts, please come prepared with your swimsuit. Boarding takes place at La Balise Yacht Center in Black River. Ensure your phone is charged and wear light, comfortable clothing. Restrooms are available onboard.

Participants should be proficient in using masks and fins as no instruction will be provided onsite. Swimming with a life jacket is cumbersome and suggests limited swimming ability. We expect participants to be reasonably fit, and for safety reasons, we reserve the right to assess and approve water entry based on your confidence level. This policy ensures your safety throughout the excursion.
