/ 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.”

“Best hike ever The 7 cascade hike is marvelous. Besides beautiful waterfalls and sceneries, the cascades have allot to offer. Especially the ones on the bottom/the unpopular ones are so calm & peaceful. All that greenery and the breath of fresh air. Kevin took us to see all the cascades and shared valuable information. He’s very friendly, attentive & humouristic. Besides that, he makes you feel safe. He even takes food allergies/restrictions in consideration. The provided lunch was delicious! The hike itself was moderate. It took us 4-5 hours to reach the top. Kevin gave us enough time and space to take amazing pictures. He also took some awesome shots…”
