Mauritius Sperm whale watching near Le Morne

Far out of the deep blue ocean near Le Morne, sperm whales call this area their home. All year around, you have a good chance to see and free dive with them.

In such scenarios with such huge animals, you quickly become hectic and nervous. So keep as calm as possible, because the whales will notice this and won't dive too quickly.

A GoPro is enough for some pictures. The memory is perhaps more important here than the perfect photo.

Half day tours can be booked via Tripadvisor or in the fishing village of Tamarin / Black River. There is a wide range of providers. It also makes sense to read up on experiences on the internet beforehand. Some companies do not take an animal-friendly approach to observations and do not respect the protection of the animals. We booked it through “Mauritius with Bart”, who did a good job with his team.
