  • Description

    The swimming with dolphins cruise can be a full- or half-day activity based on your preference. Embark on a speedboat at La Preneuse, Mauritius and travel to the dolphin feeding grounds to observe and swim with the dolphins. Then, your skipper will conduct you to ‘The Aquarium,’ a snorkeling spot of international renown. Next, you’ll visit Crystal Rock en route to Ile aux Benitiers. Enjoy a barbecue lunch, relax, and explore the island before returning to your starting spot at the day’s end. The half-day option includes the dolphin swimming and snorkeling, but does not include lunch.

    You will travel by speedboat from the launch in Black River to nearby areas where pods ranging in size from 25-40 bottlenose dolphins come close to Mauritius’ west coast to feed. Dolphins are naturally curious, playful, and intelligent creatures who will seek out interaction with humans even in their wild habitat. Observe them from the comfort and safety of the boat, or utilize the provided snorkeling equipment and life jackets to dive in and have an unforgettable up-close experience.
