What To Expect
Note: This trip is offered on both a Private and Shared basis. For the Shared option, your hotel transfers are still private. This excursion includes private pick-up and drop off from your hotel, B&B or apartment in a taxi or minibus. You will start your day with the experience of a lifetime, and one of the most popular activities in Mauritius, swimming with wild dolphins in their natural environment. Once you get on board the speedboat, the professional and qualified skippers will start by briefing you on the important aspects of the experience. You will then head to Tamarin Bay for the dolphin encounter. The skippers will accompany you in the water when it’s your turn to swim with the dolphins. You will enjoy 2.5 hours on the open sea viewing the dolphins and swimming with them. Depending on the amount of time left, you will then go to The Aquarium, a popular snorkeling and diving site with beautiful coral and tropical fish.

Very Poor ( Not at all a tour agency but just a broker)

- Review from Tripadvisor
2.00I booked the trip which included Dolphins & Mauritius Volcanic Wonders Tour: Dormant Volcano, Crater Lake, Gorges, Waterfalls, 7-Coloured Earth . 1. First of all they sent one person with his personal car for the tour, when the person doesn't know anybody of Bonjour Mauritius. 2.Tour included 7 coloured earth. But you have to pay separately 750 MUR per person at the gate of chamarel 7 coloured earth. Otherwise you have to see the gate only. Itinerary showed 7 coloured earth means gate of the place. You are not allowed to see what is there inside. The driver cum guide expressed his inability to do anything because he was instructed in that way. This broker must mention that the amount received for the tour includes all fees or entry fees to be paid separately. 3. They don't even provide a small bottle of water in the entire tour. They are simply a broker. Tripadvisor must take care of this low graded tour agency before recommending them on their website. It's my wise advice to all tourists going to mauritius, please don't book with this agency. They don't have any infrastructure. Probably a pen and paper company taking reservations only to sublet the local guys.
Dolphins as predicted

5.00Lots of spinner dolphins as predicted. unfortunately the sea was cloudy from a recent series of waves so it was easier to see the dolphins from on the boat.
To many people!

5.00There were many boats, but the captain was always careful not to stress the animals unnecessarily. On the way back, we even saw dolphins jumping and playing. The crew was super friendly and also provided us with information about the dlophins. We were then allowed to snorkel for 15 minutes in a nearby reef. The pick-up also worked very well.
Everything was perfect!

Magical being so close to dolphins, though somewhat invasive
ElsaMMSP,Aug 25, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00Swimming with dolphins in freedom was an incredible experience. We were able to be very close to them—they were passing underneath, next to us—something really magical. The less positive part is that in that area, where dolphins come to rest, too many boats coincide (in our case 6 or 7), with between 5 and 10 people each entering the water at the same time, which can certainly be annoying for the animals. Bottom line: a unique experience, but one that should be organized more carefully so as not to invade the dolphins so much.
