A unique experience – Encounter with Dolphins in their natural environment!

Mauritius, a paradise island where you can realize one of your wildest dreams; see the dolphins evolve in their natural environment, in the open sea.

Dolphins are perhaps the most fantastic of all creatures that live in the ocean.

These mammals have always had a special place in the hearts and minds of humans.

Dolphins are very cheerful and intelligent.

The dolphins have made their way to the west coast of Mauritius to sleep and rest before heading out to sea to fish.

Types of Dolphins: ‘Longs Beaks’ and ‘The Souffleur’

Your day starts at 07:15 in the morning. The Skippers will welcome you when you arrive in Black River.

Once embarked on one of our speedboats, you will be met and greeted by the skipper and a brief presentation will be made, followed by an explanation of the experience you will have.

You will then begin a magnificent trip which will consist of going to meet the Dolphins and swimming with them in their natural habitat. There you can enjoy swimming with the dolphins. All snorkeling equipment will be provided in the boat free of charge.

‘Long Beaks’ who take advantage of our bay to rest and play in the morning and once the afternoon arrives, they take the direction of the high seas to hunt and feed. This type of dolphins normally lives in large groups varying between 10 to 100 individuals. And then, ‘the Souffleur’ ​​(like flipper), who on the contrary lives in small groups; males and females live separately except during mating seasons. This type of Dolphin is far less fierce towards humans compared to long beaks.

After spending 2h30 at sea with the dolphins you will be directed to Black River. Arrival time is scheduled at 10:00 a.m. at the Black River jetty.
