Whale watching off the west coast
Meet whales in their natural habitat, just off the west coast of Mauritius. Whale watching is a moving experience that brings you close to unspoiled scenery and magnificent animals.
Sperm whales can be seen off the west coast all year round. They live in the warm waters around the island, often travelling in groups of 10 to 20. Humpback whales visit in season, moving to warmer waters for the mating season.
Once on site, the crew shares fascinating facts about these majestic marine mammals. Approach rules and minimum distances are always respected, so the whales are never disturbed. Bring your camera to capture the moment.
When to see the whales
Sperm whales: all year round
Humpback whales: from around July to November
Wildlife is wild, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.
