Review of Mauritius’s $70 dolphin encounter, speedboat ride, Crystal Rock, snorkeling, barbecue lunch, and Le Morne views.
“There were too many boats near dolphins, so it was hard to catch them. The lunch on the island was good, so nice trip overall if you ignore too many people near dolphins. But we had a pick up and they failed to pick us on time (hour delay), so the driver had to rush us to the meeting spot. The driver was pretty scary thanks to this.”

“Aucun respect des dauphins L’activité est vendue pour du petit groupe , nous étions 25. Quant au déroulement de l’activité, c’est honteux : départ 8h, 20 min de chasse aux dauphins et 20 min de snorkling dans un lieu blindé de monde où les bateaux font des concours de gaz. 3h sur l’île aux benitiers sur laquelle il n’y a rien à voir hormis se baigner au milieu des gaz d’échappement des bateaux.”
Swim with wild dolphins, visit Trou aux Cerfs and Grand Bassin, and see Chamarel’s Seven Colored Earths on a full-day Mauritius tour.
“What an amazing trip! We got to see so many dolphins! the boat drivers tried to get us as close as possible it was amazing! We then went to visit all the different stops. all though it is a lot of driving, it is so worth it! our guide Nitesh was wonderful and explained all the history behind every stop! he was fantastic! Our highlight was probably the Grand Bassin. The statues are spectacular and all round was a fantastic tour of the south!”

“GENIAL ! Un grand merci à Izel et son skipper pour leur gentillesse et leur professionnalisme. Très respectueux des dauphins contrairement à d’autres bateaux que nous avons pu voir, ils ont tout fait pour que chaque personne puisse profiter et voir au mieux les dauphins. Je recommande vivement ! Encore un grand merci !”

“We had a great trip, saw the dolphins, and even got to swim with them. However, the description of the trip said there were only 7 people on the boat, but we were 9 adults, 2 kids, and 2 guides. But the boat wasn't too crowded anyway. We'd book this trip again anytime”
Swim near wild dolphins off Mauritius, then snorkel a coral reef on a private speedboat tour from Grande Rivière Noire.
“Our family had an amazing experience swimming with the dolphins. The captain on the boat was excellent, he took us to multiple locations to give us the best possible chance to get amongst the dolphins. His final spot was excellent, pod of dolphins numbering about 25 /30, he put the boat in the desired position and told us when to go for it. We got really close to the dolphins with everyone experiencing being surrounded by the dolphins. The captains local knowledge was superb and I thought the price was excellent for a party of 8 people. To actually get right in amongst the dolphins was an amazing experience for…”
