What to do in Mauritius in July
Humpback whales gather around Mauritius from July to October to calve and mate; boat trips leave from the west coast, at Tamarin and Black River. The rules are strict: no swimming with whales, boats keep at least 100 metres away, and trips run only in the morning. The Dodo Trail runs between Le Morne and Tamarin in early July. On the north coast, mornings at the beach and afternoons at the pool are still the rhythm, with evenings at home.
