Dolphin and whale watching, Black River

A trip out to sea to watch dolphins and whales, off Black River. 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. 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. On any given day, their presence cannot be commanded.
