Bad tour operator, we booked and paid earlier in the week no problem. We woke up at 5 am drove over an hour to get to the meeting point. No one knew where to go or where our booking was. I eventually found a number to call only to be told nope sorry we did not make your booking. I am not in Mauritius every day so not easy to come back another day. Another hour back to our hotel. Little info offered to what went wrong just a sorry and a promise of a refund. I would not recommend them to waste your time and put a dampener on your holiday.

The guide was very professional, he did everything to show us the dolphins, even if the sea was a bit rough. There are many boats, it is not easy to swim together in the open sea, but it is a good experience!
Emotions to live!

Swimming with dolphins was a fantastic experience and unique emotions. If you are in Mauritius it is worth trying. All cabin crew were professional and friendly. Absolutely recommended!

We had a very good time with some excursions in Mauritius. We choose some sea tour (swimming with dolphins and turtles) and a tour of south west. The people are very friendly and the food is also very nice. Top. You can contact them at +230 5763 1800.

I recommend 100%!! Very good Price quality ratio for this excursion, respectful of nature and animals (which is not always the case), dozens of similar excursions are offered by different companies, but there is no point in taking the most expensive because they are exactly the same services. We were accompanied by Jordan, skipper at the top, we had time to enjoy each stage, and drinks were offered throughout the ride. Arrived on the island to the benefactors, a lunch was prepared for us and it was very very good!! Experience at the top 👍

This day to see and swim with dolphins, but also with a lunch on the beach of Ile aux Bénitiers was very pleasant. The 2 attendants were very kind and helpful. They spoke in English and French. We were able to swim with dolphins. So certainly there were many boats, but it was a unique experience. Lunch on the island was very good also with grills (chicken and sausages) and bananas flared. Experience that I advise, with good weather

It was a beautiful day, fantastic sea, breathtaking views, good snorkelling, The dolphins can be seen very well, I admit that swimming with them is not very easy because they are fast but it is still an experience, the captain Cristiano of st Jerome was very kind and smiling, the barbecue on the beach of good quality (both fish and chicken), we had a lot of fun. I would add that the tour manager moved the trip due to adverse weather conditions but was also ready for reimbursement. I found it very correct and professional. I would definitely recommend.
Perfect day among dolphins

Wonderful experience. We swam with dolphins, they took us snorkeling surrounded by thousands of colorful fish, and we had a wonderful barbecue in front of the Ille de Benitiers, on a fabulous beach.
