/ August 6, 2026

1.Île aux Bénitiers: Snorkeling w/Dolphins Boat Tour & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,635 reviews · 7 hours · from $115Our pick

7-hour Mauritius boat tour for dolphin swims, Crystal Rock snorkeling, and a beach BBQ lunch with pickup, drinks, and time to relax.

“Lovely day trip. Collection and drop off by private taxi was excellent, we loved chatting with the driver and learning more about Mauritius. The speed boat journey was fun, particularly on the way back where we hit some bigger waves! The morning you zip around the coast trying to find dolphins (along with many other boats). At this point you could jump off to “swim” with the dolphins but they are quick and maybe not in on the game. Our driver was more respectful to the dolphins and kept a distance from them which I appreciated. We loved snorkelling in the crystal clear waters afterwards. The BBQ on the island…”

“I was expecting more of a catamaran cruise that is more focused on the beautiful sea, nature, island, waterfalls but sadly, the boat was focused more on loud music, drinking (with drunk people), not considering the other guests. It was not the trip that I expected and I could not wait to get off the boat in all honestly.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 92 reviews · 2 hours · from $58

Two-hour La Preneuse speedboat dolphin watching and snorkeling in Mauritius, with masks, fins, and a skipper by Martello Tower.

“Amazing! My highlight of my whole mauritus trip! It was beyond unbelievable, I can’t deny that there were many tourists in the same area, but everyone gets to see them and get very close to them. 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 :)”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 61 reviews · 5 hours · from $115

Swim with turtles off Trou aux Biches, then eat your way through Port Louis street food markets on a guided half-day tour with hotel pickup.

“The trip to Port Louis was very interesting. Best to experience it with a knowledgeable guide. He was very friendly and we tried some of the local foods which we would not have done on our own. We did not see any Turtles, that was disappointing BUT we do understand that it is wild animals and nobody can control them. We had a great snorkeling experience.”
