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

/ 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…”

Our guide Christopher was wonderful, he was very friendly, passionate about Mauritius, Port Louis and the history of the island, and incredibly knowledgeable about Mauritius. He knew his way around the city, and guided us to several food tour stops. We enjoyed the food stops and appreciated how much ground we covered across the city, which also included the Company Gardens and the Natural History Museum. The food was eclectic and gave us a great sense of the culinary diversity of Mauritian cuisine which was made even richer by Christopher’s stories about the island. There could have been some more…”

“A unique way to see parts of the island that you might not normally get to visit. Our guide Vi(sorry about the spelling)was courteous,friendly and attentive. The bikes were in good working order and great fun to drive.They take a little while to get used to if you’ve never driven one before but the group goes at a pace to suit those just getting to grips with it. The day we went was warm and sunny and we still came back rather dirty and dusty so just remember not to come in your best newly washed ‘whites’.I would image if it rains this will be especially important. The journey itself…”
