About the experience

//EXPERIENCE LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM OF 5 PEOPLE to guarantee comfort, safety, and quality of observation.//

Embark on a whale-watching adventure off the west coast of Mauritius during a unique experience at sea, in one of the most exceptional areas of the Indian Ocean.

Departing from Rivière Noire, we take you out early in the morning, when the sea is calm and the light is magnificent, to maximize your chances of observation in the best conditions. You will be able to observe resident sperm whales, migrating humpback whales, and dolphins swimming freely in their natural habitat.

Mauritius is one of the few places in the world where you have the incredible opportunity to observe majestic sperm whales year-round in their natural environment. A rare, powerful, and profoundly moving encounter.

The excursion lasts between 3.5 and 4 hours, departing between 5:30 and 6:30 am depending on the season. This experience is ideal for nature lovers, photography enthusiasts, and those seeking an authentic moment away from the crowds.

Everything is included: whale and dolphin watching, drinks, snacks, and accompaniment by a passionate crew with extensive knowledge of the Mauritian west coast and its generally calm and safe sailing conditions.

A magical, intense, and unforgettable morning in the heart of Mauritius' turquoise waters.

    Translated from French

    We booked Coty's boat for a day trip for seven people. As two passengers were stranded in Europe due to snow, we agreed with Coty (via WhatsApp, where he asked us to communicate) to reschedule the trip for the following day at a specific time. A few hours before the scheduled departure, Coty informed us that he had an emergency and couldn't run the trip at the planned time. During our exchanges, we learned that the emergency was actually a new booking he had accepted because it was for a loyal customer. This disrupted our trip, as it was the occasion for our family to get together. After much discussion, we finally rescheduled the trip for a date that was much less convenient for us. The trip itself went well, and I can confirm that Coty and his friend are friendly and attentive. The only downside is that all the boats go to the same spots, whether it's for swimming with dolphins, seeing turtles, or even snorkeling—what a lack of imagination! I wouldn't recommend this rental if you enjoy sailing alone and discovering quiet places! Thank you nonetheless for your efforts, especially the culinary ones. I'll reiterate that the cost of the service is high, but if you're staying in Mauritius, you know that tourists are easy targets, and we love to fleece them, albeit with a great deal of kindness!

    The skipper and his colleague are very helpful and go out of their way to help. Both are highly skilled, which is why we were able to see dolphins and whales. My husband and I were able to observe whales and dolphins with our snorkels. They cater to customer requests and even brought along a delicious homemade mojito. ? Thank you so much!!!

    Absolutely fantastic! We planned a half-day trip as we also had two young daughters with us, and everything went incredibly well! The boat is very safe, with a very practical sunshade. We were welcomed with delicious Mauritian pastries. Coty and his colleague really took the time to ensure we had a wonderful time swimming with dolphins, snorkeling, and visiting Crystal Rock. Perfect, I highly recommend it!

    Coty was an extraordinary captain, allowing us to have an exclusive and private experience in a sumptuous setting. Swimming with dolphins and the landscapes of the west coast was an eye-opener. The waterfront grills were delicious. Thank you Coty, we will come back for the sperm whales!! :) Barbara and Gilles

    Superb day, infinitely more pleasant than piling up with dozens of tourists on large catamarans. The boat is great and the skipper Coty is very friendly and professional. Even if you don't fish, you can go there with your eyes closed. He will be able to put together a tailor-made program for you. Unbeatable price/pleasure ratio ?

    Thanks to Coti and his skypper Francky for this very, very beautiful day. They showed us the most beautiful places on this part of the island, accompanied by whales and dolphins. The meal on Ile aux Benitiers was succulent and very well prepared by Lemaitre barbecue Côti. My son and I thank them both warmly for this safe outing and with lots of good humor. We'll see you again with the rest of the family. Yvan

    Very nice family day with Coty and Samuel. We had a great time with them and enjoyed a great day: swimming with dolphins, visiting ''Paradise'' with snorkeling and ''private beach'', barbecue at Bénitiers and of course a nice boat trip. Very warm welcome guaranteed! Thank you for everything.
