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

Swim with wild dolphins, watch sperm and humpback whales, and snorkel Black River’s reef on a respectful five-hour Mauritius speedboat tour.

“The activity was brilliant. We were unlucky with the weather on the original day that we booked but the lovely representative helped us secure spaces on the following day and woke up at 5am to update us on the weather. The guides on the day were amazing. I am 6 months pregnant and they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable throughout the trip amd enjoying myself. We saw whales and my husband swam with dolphins. I could not recommend this trip more highly, it is a brilliant day out and a great company.”

9.La Preneuse: Dolphin Watching and Snorkeling Speedboat Tour

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

Swim near wild dolphins, snorkel a Mauritian lagoon, and speed along the coast on this practical two-hour La Preneuse boat tour.

“This was a brilliant experience- well organised and gave us plenty of time to see dolphins both in water and from boat. The crew worked hard to ensure everyone was accommodated. The trip is the right amount of time too. We enjoyed this much more than a full day trip with another company. Also great communication as we had a long drive from other side of island and got stuck in road works. We were impressed with how they managed to work things so that we didn't miss out. Highly recommend!”

“L’excursion à l’Île aux Cerfs est globalement une belle expérience, mais il faut savoir que l’île est très touristique et un peu surcotée.

La sortie jusqu’à la cascade est vraiment sympa, avec la présence de quelques singes qui ajoutent un petit côté sauvage à la visite. Le repas proposé était très bon, un vrai point positif de la journée.
