Swim with dolphins off Mauritius, snorkel at Crystal Rock, enjoy a BBQ on Île aux Bénitiers, and learn what to expect for $74.
“This was an absolutely fantastic activity from start to finish. The guides were very attentive and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip. Swimming with the dolphins was an unforgettable experience – magical and truly one of a kind. The lunch on the beach was great too. We had a delicious BBQ with plenty of options, and it was all-you-can-eat, which was perfect. Drinks were available during lunch as well, and we could help ourselves to whatever we wanted, as much as we liked – which was a nice touch. Overall, everything was well organized and enjoyable. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a unique…”
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.”

Review of Mauritius’s private southwest tour, with rum and tea tastings, sacred sites, waterfalls, viewpoints, lunch, and practical booking advice.
“DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. The driver that turned up was not a guide, he was a taxi driver. Not one word was said by the driver between stops, he didn't get out at the tour locations, didn't give any information or guidance. We also had to ask to go to the tea factory, which was closed by the time we arrived. There was no communication to suggest that the Rum distillery was also closed at the weekend, so could not do this tour either. Two of the views points - Maconde and Chamarel - were also not visited as they were not on the taxi drivers "work list". The…”

“point GPS mal renseigné. Bateau petit et veillissant non conforme aux photos. Départ à 18h au lieu de 17h. Retour à 22h. Bonne ambiance et bon DJ sur le Bateau. Musique trop forte pour la taille du Bateau.”
Review of Mauritius Eco Whales Quest, a small-group boat trip with whale sightings, dolphin stops, drinks, and practical booking advice.
“The guides/sailors of the boat did not give any introduction of themselves the /tour /guide we were in silence the whole trip. They did not explain the type of whales we were seeing or even the location of where we were. The was not as advertised as per what was stated as inclusive. We did not receive any drinks, masks or fins to swim. The pictures implied we would be swimming with whales , hence instructing us to bring snorkelling equipment however we were informed once we sighted the whales, we would not be swimming with them. We were not offered an alternative place to swim either, swimming was indicated…”
