Dolphins Swimming and Lagoon Discovery - Mauritius
Swim with Dolphins and Lagoon Discovery Excursion
Start Time: Our excursion begins at 6 am to be among the first boats at sea.
Dolphins Watching: We have the option to observe dolphins from the boat and, if feasible without disturbing them, dive into the water. Dolphins tend to stay close to the shore, where the water is calm, and we frequently see them at several locations.
Swimming with Dolphins: Once we locate the dolphins, you will have the opportunity to swim with them if conditions permit. It is important to avoid disturbing the dolphins, and we will provide instructions on how to observe them respectfully.
Lagoon Exploration: We will then begin exploring the lagoon, starting with a snorkeling session on the coral reef at the "natural aquarium."
Further Exploration: After experiencing the marine wildlife, we will head towards the lagoon, making stops at the Crystal Rock and in front of Île aux Bénitiers.
Final Swim: We will finish with a swim in the lagoon in front of the Le Morne mountain, where we can often observe turtles (note that swimming with turtles is prohibited in Mauritius).
Return Time: We will return at approximately 9 am.
On Board we will provide pastries and soft drinks during the excursion. It's important to have fins, a mask, and a snorkel. While we do have them on board, you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Species information
In Mauritius, we frequently see two distinct species of dolphins:
The Spinner Dolphin:
- This tripartite species has a white belly, light gray flanks, and a dark gray back. Its large bill makes it easy to identify.
- Adults typically weigh between 55lbs and 176lbs and range in size from 1,3 to 2,3 meters.
- Their lifespan is 25 years.
- There are the acrobats of the ocean. During a jump, they can spin eight times!
The Bottlenose Dolphin:
- So named because of its small, thick beak. He usually has a light gray color.
- The adult weighs between 330lbs and 1433lbs and measures between 2,3 and 3,8 meters.
- It has a life expectancy of 50 years.
- They have a ten-fold increase in hearing capacity over humans!
Dolphins move in groups known as "schools" and can swim 45 km/h.
During the day, they reside near the coast and reefs, and at night, they move farther offshore.
To enjoy these magical moments in the company of dolphins, you will have to get up early! Indeed, we try to be the first on the ocean, so we can watch and swim with them with RESPECT.
