“Manav was absolutely flawless — attentive, informative, and so friendly throughout our tour. We managed to see so much, and he even bought snacks for the children, which was such a thoughtful touch! 😍 He took plenty of photos for us as a family and made sure we were never rushed. Although we couldn’t fit in all the sights in one day, Manav went above and beyond by organising an extra morning tour (for a small charge) so we could visit the places we’d missed. La Vanella Croc Park and the 23 Coloured Sands were fantastic, and the tea field tasting was an unexpected treat. Our children loved seeing the…”

He was extremely quiet and had very little to say about the various spots on the tour, on several occasions he would step away from the group and just say "I will meet you there", leaving us to look around -not knowing what we are looking at. Despite all these, the lunch included in the tour was very good.”

Shared Dolphin Encounter in Mauritius

10.Shared Dolphin Encounter in Mauritius

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 58 reviews · from $58

Start at 7:00 am from La Jetée Road in Grande Riviere Noire for a 2.5-hour small-group boat trip. Your guide explains respectful dolphin encounters, provides snorkel gear and water, and may lead you into the sea when conditions allow. The morning ends with reef snorkeling before you return to the meeting point.

“We left early in the morning to see and swim with the dolphins. The crew was very motivated and ambitious to find them. We were lucky and could swim with the dolphins. The boat was not too big with a capacity of 10 people max. Of course this is one of the main tourist attractions of Mauritius and therefore there are many boats around to see the dolphins.”

Did see 5 out of seven endemic species and one should never expect to see more than 1 or 2 during a 4 our walk. Knowledgable young guide with lots of stuff to share. I also thought the little resting points cool.”
