Start your morning with a complimentary breakfast, served in a beautiful beachside restaurant. Spend the morning viewing and swimming with wild dolphins in their natural environment. Discover beautiful coral and tropical fish while snorkeling near the coral reef. Finally, spend the afternoon discovering Humpback and/or Sperm whales in the open seas.This is a truly memorable experience, where you will have the chance to swim with wild dolphins in the morning and see whales in their natural environment in the afternoon. This 2.5 hour speedboat excursion in the morning to see and swim with the dolphins, will be followed by another 3 hours out in the open sea to observe the whales.
After your delicious complimentary breakfast, which includes croissants, pains au chocolat, sandwiches, fruits, tea, coffee, and water, the professional and qualified skippers will start by telling you the most important aspects of swimming with the dolphins, including, the types of dolphins that you will encounter and their habits, guidelines for sustainable dolphin watching and swimming safely with the dolphin. Then, you're ready to head to Tamarin Bay for the dolphin encounter! The skippers will accompany you in the water when it’s your turn to swim with the dolphins if you'd like.
You will then have the chance to go to The Aquarium, a popular snorkeling and diving site with beautiful coral and tropical fish. Snorkeling gear is provided.
After heading back to the shore to switch boats, you will start your 3 hour whale watching tour on the open seas! The skippers will brief you on the types of whales that you will encounter and the guidelines for sustainable whale watching.
Humpback whales can be sighted off the Mauritian coast between July and September/October when they move from the South pole to warmer seas near the equator to reproduce, give birth and breed before getting back to the Antarctic while the Sperm whales can be observed almost all year round.
Whale watching is a different and more difficult outing as you will have to go further out to sea and the success will depend a lot on the weather and sea conditions.
Please Note:
In almost all cases (90%+) you will see the dolphins. However, if this is not the case, a second outing will be offered on the boat free of charge for the dolphin viewing only (2.5 hours). It’s important to note that there will be no refund once you have completed the activity.
There is a 60% chance that you will see the whales but if that is not the case, we will be unable to provide you with a refund due to the high fuel costs, so please consider this before making the booking.
