“Excellent day. 10 of us on board small, fast speedboat. Swept past Catamarans plodding to same/similar spots. Saw pod of dolphins, giant turtle, fruit bats, waterfall (close up!), magical views. Great snorkelling. Al fresco meal with our new friends from around world.”
Review of Mauritius dolphin swim, Crystal Rock snorkelling, Ile aux Benitiers beach lunch, transport, value, and dolphin welfare concerns.
“Snorkeling from the boat was great and we saw many different fish species. The dolphin encounter was a little disappointing. There were rather a lot of boats and not a lot of dolphins so there was no opportunity to swim with them. The few hours spent on Benitier Island was enjoyable and Crystal Rock was amazing.”
