Dolphins and whales
Boat trip at Flic en Flac: whale watching and a swim near dolphins
Flic-en-Flac · Black River
AI-generated imageA boat trip, at Flic en Flac, whose programme pairs whale watching with a swim near dolphins. The waters off the west of Mauritius are where whales are most often observed: sperm whales all year round, humpback whales from July to November, during their migration. 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.
