Whale and dolphin watching

Leisure & activities

Whale and dolphin watching

The Marine Big Five: whale sharks, manta rays, humpback whales, dolphins and turtles.

About the activity

Whale and dolphin watching

This stretch of the Indian Ocean is a rare global hotspot. Humpback whales pass between June and September, and hydrophones can be available to listen to their songs. Whale sharks cruise the coastline through the year, and oceanic manta rays glide through cleaning stations.

Resident pods of bottlenose and spinner dolphins often ride the bow wave, and five of the world's seven sea turtle species live in these waters. Outings keep a respectful distance and sightings are never guaranteed.

  • Humpback whales from June to September
  • Whale sharks and oceanic manta rays
  • Bottlenose and spinner dolphins
