We booked from the water sports area within our hotel at Luxe Le Morne. We were lucky enough to see both a whale and swim with dolpins.
My main concern is safety - or lack of. Le Morne is protected by a coral reef which makes for a safe shallow, swimming area. To see dolphins you need to travel across this reef. This is explained before you your leave. The reality though is not. It's really hairy with boats all lined up ready for a "calmer" wave. Our 12 year old (and indeed the whole family) was petrified. Boats are racing everywhere, the sea is rough and nobody is wearing life jackets. It's an accident waiting to happen.
The journey back is calmer but even then in the shallow areas we were travelling at speed and hit coral which knocked everyone in the boat around.
Swimming with Dolphins was a great experience. The boat trip wasn't. Improvements are needed before something bad happens.
