Witness majestic whales in their natural habitat during the migration season
Witness majestic whales in their natural habitat during the migration season (June to November). Mauritius lies on the migration route of humpback and sperm whales, offering some of the best whale watching in the Indian Ocean.
Tours depart from the west coast, often from Tamarin or Black River, and head out to sea where experienced skippers and guides help you spot these gentle giants. The experience is respectful and eco-conscious, keeping a safe distance while allowing unforgettable encounters.
Whale watching in Mauritius is a seasonal highlight—plan your visit between June and November for the best chance of sightings, with peak activity often in August and September.
