   *Note: The time and order of the dolphin swim and whale watching may vary depending on the behaviour of the animals. Next, start your whale watching tour on the open seas to view these magnificent marine mammals in their natural habitat. The skippers will brief you on the types of whales that you will encounter and the guidelines for sustainable whale watching. Humpback whales can be sighted off the Mauritian coast between July and September/October when they move from the South pole to warmer seas near the equator to reproduce, give birth and breed before getting back to the antarctic while the Sperm whales can be observed almost all year round. During your expedition, you will hear educational commentary by our skippers, and you will see the magnificent whales in their natural habitat.
