/ August 6, 2026

1.Dolphin Swim and Whale Watching by Speedboat

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 595 reviews · 5 hours · from $129Our pick

Swim with spinner and bottlenose dolphins, then watch sperm and humpback whales from a speedboat on Mauritius’ Black River, plus snorkeling.

“Alan made us feel extremely safe and well looked after. He explained how you should not go too close to the whales as it distresses them, and he obeyed all the correct procedures. We were able to see amazing whales without emotionally harming the animals, unlike other companies we saw. As for the dolphins, again they made sure it was safe for us to enter the water and the experience was utterly magical.”

We also saw 2 turtles, but they are shy for the camera. We had an amazing time. Well worth it.”

It felt magical to see them in their natural habitat. The whole team, especially Feliciano, definitely went the extra mile to make sure everyone had the best time. I can’t recommend this activity enough :)”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 23 reviews · from $72

Early Tamarin speedboat to swim with dolphins, snorkel Crystal Rock, and enjoy halal lunch on Benitiers Island with drinks included.

“Hotel pickup didn't work twice. We waited at the hotel reception at 5:45 a.m. At 6:30 a.m., I called the tour operator to ask when the transfer would arrive. After several inquiries, I was told that the trip had been postponed to the following day. Unfortunately, no one had informed us. The next day, we were back at the reception at 5:45 a.m. and were not picked up again. We then had to organize a taxi ourselves.

Early sunrise dolphin swimming and whale watching on Mauritius’ west coast, in a small group by fast motorboat. 3 hours from $129.

“It was a great experience, to go deep into the sea to watch dolphins and whale. They gave ample time around dolphins, moving around to go near them, and then took us to baby whales spot first, and then sperm whales next. It was amazing to watch them swim so close. Guide was jovial and spoke well. A bit expensive, but overall it was a great experience.”
