Amazing morning seeing the whales
We really enjoyed the trip and were lucky enough to see humpback and sperm whales. Weather was great, water was relatively calm. The guide gave good instructions and opportunities to photograph these amazing mammals. We were surprised that we were offered the chance to swim with sperm whales as I’d understood this was not allowed by Mauritius Tourism authority and quite upset by the last stop where we could count 14 boats (including ours) around a mother and calf with snorkellers surrounding the mammals. We appreciated that the tor operator doesn’t have control over the other companies but it left us distressed for these amazing creatures. While operators still offer this people will take advantage. Needless to say we stayed on the boat.

Amazing whale-watching experience! The entire team was very professional, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. They knew exactly where to look for the whales and made sure everyone had a great view. The boat was comfortable, and the whole experience was well organized from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable whale-watching experience in Mauritius

Worth booking
We were sceptical at first as there were not many reviews however I would highly recommend! There was initial confusion for 30 mins at the start with the meeting location and which boat was ours however the tour operator was there to ensure we got the right boat. On the tour we saw plenty of whales and even had time to see dolphins, I would highly recommend.
Operator response
thank you for your review see you soon :)

Exceptional Service and Unforgettable Experiences
A huge thank you to Arvind for his outstanding service throughout our stay. He was always available, helpful, and genuinely cared about making our experience special. The photo and drone shots were fantastic. What we appreciated most was his honesty and the fact that he always looked after our interests. Highly recommended!
