More about Whale Watching:

In order to observe those magnificent mammals that are whales, you will have to go further out to sea though it will depend a lot on weather and sea conditions. It will be difficult to see the whales when the sea is rough.

 

On the Mauritian coast, two different types of whales can be seen:

 

(1) Humpback whales in winter period (July – Sep / Oct) 
(2) Sperm Whales which are considered as resident on the west coast of Mauritius

 

  • The Sperm Whale is the largest species of toothed whale, with adult bulls(males) growing to be about 15-18 metres (50-60 feet) long, and weighing about 45-70 tonnes. The two kogiid species are much smaller, at only around 2.5 to 3.5 metres (9-11 feet) in length, and weighing 350-500 kilograms (770-1,100 pounds). 

 

  •  The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a Baleen whale. One of the larger rorqual species, adults range in length from 12–16 metres (40–50 ft) and weigh approximately 36,000 kilograms (79,000 lb). Thehumpback has a distinctive body shape, with unusually long pectoral fins and a knobbly head. It is an acrobatic animal, often breaching and slapping the water. Males produce a complex whale song, which lasts for 10 to 20 minutes and is repeated for hours at a time. The purpose of the song is not yet clear, although it appears to have a role in mating.
