Summary

Begin your day's adventure with convenient pickup from your hotel or other accommodation. Transfer to the Black River, located on Mauritius' west coast, where you'll climb aboard a boat with an experienced captain and crew. On the way to Tamarin Bay, listen to your captain's introduction to the area and orientation on what to expect when swimming with the dolphins.  Once you find a pod of bottlenose or spinner dolphins, slip quietly into the water and watch as they go about their normal behaviors. You'll also have the opportunity to snorkel around Crystal Rock's vibrant reefs.  Continue to Bénitiers Island, where you'll go ashore for a barbecue lunch of sausage, chicken, fish, salad, and dessert. Sip wine, beer, rum, or nonalcoholic drinks. After lunch, spend some free time exploring the island and taking in views of Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire, Rempart Mountain, and Le Morne Brabant Mountain.  At the end of your tour, head back to Mauritius, where you'll transfer to your ground transportation for hotel drop-off.

Why take this tour?

The calm waters of Tamarin Bay, in southwest Mauritius, draw spinner and bottlenose dolphins throughout the year. On this day cruise, your experienced skipper gives you an excellent chance of spotting them. Once you’ve observed the dolphins, from the boat and/or the water, glide to Ile aux Benitiers island for a beachfront barbecue with drinks, mountain views, and spectacular reef. Hotel transfers spare you the car hire cost.
