Itinerary
Upon arrival, you will get on board the speedboat, and the professional and qualified skippers will start by briefing you on the most important aspects of this experience, including: - The types of dolphins that you will encounter and their habits - Guidelines for sustainable dolphin watching - Security measures on the boat - Swimming procedures
*Note: The time and order of the dolphin swim and whale watching may vary depending on the behaviour of the animals. You will then 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. You will have the chance to view and swim with the dolphins on the open sea. Depending on the amount of time left, you will then go to The Aquarium, a popular snorkelling and diving site with beautiful coral and tropical fish.
*Note: The time and order of the dolphin swim and whale watching may vary depending on the behaviour of the animals. Next, start your whale watching tour on the open seas to view these magnificent marine mammals in their natural habitat. 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. During your expedition, you will hear educational commentary by our skippers, and you will see the magnificent whales in their natural habitat.
