Take part in an amazing whale watching and dolphin swimming trip off the coast of Mauritius from Grande Rivière Noire!

Dolswim and his crew of experienced skippers invite you to join them at Grande Rivière Noire, south of Flic en Flac, for a half-day trip off the coast of Mauritius to meet dolphins and whales at Grande Rivière Noire.

The first part of this outing near Flic en Flac will be devoted to finding dolphins so that you can swim with them. Of course, a briefing on these animals, the rules to be observed when approaching them, and safety measures will be given to you when you leave the boat at Grande Rivière Noire. This way, you can enjoy a moment of snorkelling with the dolphins at Grande Rivière Noire in complete tranquillity, under the supervision of an instructor at your side in the water.

Then it's time to climb back on board in search of whales! You will have the opportunity to admire humpback whales only in winter (Mauritian winter from July to September/October), while you can observe sperm whales living off Mauritius all year round. Of course, as these cetaceans are wild and unpredictable, there is no 100% guarantee that you will see them, just as there is no guarantee that you will see dolphins.

If you're staying near Flic en Flac and Grande Rivière Noire, take part in a snorkelling trip with dolphins and whale watching in Mauritius! It's an experience not to be missed!
