AI-generated image

A half-day trip out to sea, devoted to dolphin watching. Dolphins are mostly seen off the west coast of Mauritius, where two species occur, the bottlenose and the spinner dolphin, often travelling in pods of around twenty. They are wild animals, and no outing can command their presence.

Highlights

  • A half day at sea
  • The bottlenose and the spinner dolphin, the two species of the west coast

Good to know

  • Dolphin watching is regulated in Mauritius: it is done with a licensed provider, and boats approach the animals from the side, at no-wake speed.
  • Dolphins are not to be touched or fed, and no noise is made to attract them.
