About this experience
Awarded 'Best of the Best in 2024'/GTE AWARD 2025✅
Eco-Friendly Dolphin Encounter
At sunrise, as golden light touches the Indian Ocean, wild dolphins glide along Mauritius’s west coast—a breathtaking glimpse of nature’s grace.Two species, the playful spinner and the curious bottlenose, often appear together, dancing through calm morning waters. Begin your gentle journey at 6AM when the sea is serene, for a truly intimate encounter. This 7hr private excursion reveals the island’s wild beauty and peaceful rhythm. The adventure concludes with a beach barbecue on Benitier Island—your private table on the sand, savouring freshly grilled local dishes as the ocean whispers all around you.
Please remember that dolphin sightings are a gift from nature—the number of dolphins present and their behavior varies daily. As these are wild animals, we cannot control or predict the encounters in advance. Our team always adapts and does its best to provide you with a memorable and respectful interaction
