It was a fantastic... - It was a fantastic experience, everyone should try this! Was so happy to see and swim with dolphins and tortoise! Obviously, it’s nature so it’s not like you gonna see it always, but even if that would fail for some reason the food that was served was extraordinary. So grateful for the opportunity to experience this!

An enchanted paranthesis - Great experience. the best outing of our 15 days on the island. Miguel cared for and really super nice. We'll do it again when we get back, a magical break. Thank you for everything (dolphins in respect of animals, extra meal, lover atmosphere, turtles in final bouquet). Well, it definitely leaves at 6:00 a.m. It stings but really do it.

Dolphin swim and bbq lobster on the beach :) - Wonderful day trip with capitan miguel and first officer Tyler! Awesome experience swimming close up with dolphins. Miguel was very knowledgeable in locating them and Tyler can swim like one :)) . Followed this up with some great snorkeling at crystal lagoon and then an amazing bbq on the beach with fresh sea urchins, oysters and lobster on the bbq. Rounded off an amazing day with some turtle watching. Thanks again mig and ty!

An unforgettable day in Mauritius - Thanks Miguel and his young colleague sorry could not get name as well as their other colleague on another boat for an amazing day. Your hospitality was great. Be prepared to start early especially if you are staying on the East coast. Left hotel and drove for almost 2 hours before we got to meeting point but fully worth it. We met the guys on the beach and got on the speedboat and headed directly to find some dolphins. It was early and the best time to find them. Had a great swim with them in open sea truly an unforgettable experience. Miguel was very considerate about timing and also about the dolphins and kept some distance and let us enjoy. Then we headed in the lagoon for some snorkelling. Enjoyed seeing coral and lots of different fish swimming close by. We caught some sea urchins and Miguel dived to get some oysters. Well we enjoyed these once we were on the island. Past Crystal rock and onto the island where we had the opportunity to swim, take a walk while our seafood bbq food was being prepared. Delicious is an understatement. Prawn and vegetable skewers to start with after we enjoyed the fresh sea urchins and oysters....cannot get fresher than these. Next we had grilled fresh lobster followed by grilled fish all served with garlic bread. Time to unwind and relax. The trilastedst around 7 hours and on the way back around 12.30 we stopped to swim with turtles A day we will definitely remember on our trip to Mauritius. We were sceptical to book at first as we saw some negative reviews for other boats but we are glad we picked Lydia boats. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you

An unforgettable day with dolphins and turtles! - An unforgettable experience made even better with such knowledgeable and kind guides! The day started with us encountering wild dolphins and swimming with them as long as we wanted to. Then we were able to go snorkelling at crystal rock and again, for as long as we wanted to. The best part was that everything proceeded on our own desired pace. After snorkelling we were able to have an amazing bbq prepared to us! This is a must, if visiting mauritius! On the way back we saw sea turtles as well!!

Catherine - Amazing experience! We got to swim close to the dolphins and a sea turtle, the food was more than delicious and to have the opportunity to see when they pick the oysters and then eat them was fantastic. The crew was really service minded, kind and caring for the animals. This was more than we could expect and we can warmly recommend Lydia boat with crew!

Stunning, to do absolutely!! - Unforgettable, magical, incredible experience! First we boarded a private boat , received by Miguel and Emilio. We were able to have an incredible experience with dolphins , in the respect and benevolence of animals. Then we went to the island of the benign to eat , we had a small private table , the meal was delicious! Special mention to our two skippers (Miguel and Emilio) without whom this day would not have been so fabulous! Thanks again!
