The dolphins, cheerful and playful, are a symbol of intelligence and grace. In Mauritius, the dolphins live in pods of about 20 individuals or more and can be observed swimming from Tamarin Bay (on the west coast of Mauritius), on their way to the deep sea off the coast of the Le Morne peninsula. The most common dolphins in Mauritius are the Bottlenose Dolphin and the Spinner Dolphin.

We went on the cruise with our 12 and 14 year old and we all had an amazing time. All of the boat's crew were fantastic, always checking up on everyone to make sure they were happy, safe and just generally walking around and making an effort with all of the passengers. The on-board BBQ was fantastic, well planned out and tasty - especially the fish! They came prepared with numerous soft drinks and beers/wines so everyone was catered for, there was a really nice atmosphere on the boat and everyone in the group seemed to leave very happy at the end - even when we had torrential rain for the last 10 mins - everyone just enjoyed the music and had a dance! We were unlucky and didn't see any dolphins but that's nature for you and they made it clear from the start that this wasn't something they could guarantee - the snorkelling more than made up for it as we saw lots of fish and it was in a beautiful location.
