Boat tour to Ile aux Benitiers with Dolphin sightings & BBQ lunch

Cruise the west coast of Mauritius on a full-day speed boat tour with dolphin encounters, a visit to Crystal Rock, and a BBQ lunch at Benitier Islet.

Getting started

Your day begins with hotel pick-up from anywhere in Mauritius, followed by private transportation in a fully air-conditioned vehicle to the departure point. After meeting your certified guide, you’ll receive a briefing on the day’s route and guidelines for swimming with dolphins. Snorkeling equipment is provided before you board the speed boat and set out for the west lagoon.

What to expect

Start your adventure at the West Lagoon, home to resident dolphin pods and crystal-clear waters. Your guide will give instructions on responsible swimming, ensuring you're ready for a safe and exciting encounter with these magnificent creatures. You’ll have the chance to swim alongside dolphins in open water, with the guide and crew on hand for supervision. For those who prefer to stay dry, there’s also an opportunity to observe the dolphins from the boat. Afterward, the tour continues to the stunning Crystal Rock, a geological formation rising from the lagoon. The boat will anchor near the rock, giving you the perfect chance to snap photos and admire the surrounding turquoise waters. For those eager to explore, snorkeling equipment is available to discover the vibrant marine life around the rock, and your guide will share fascinating insights about the formation and ecosystem. The final stop is the peaceful Île aux Bénitiers, where you can unwind with a delicious 3-course BBQ lunch, complete with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, and unlimited drinks. After enjoying the beach or swimming in the lagoon, you’ll be transferred back to your accommodation by private vehicle, bringing your full-day experience to a memorable close.
