Day Benigniers Island - This day to see and swim with dolphins, but also with a lunch on the beach of Ile aux Bénitiers was very pleasant. The 2 attendants were very kind and helpful. They spoke in English and French. We were able to swim with dolphins. So certainly there were many boats, but it was a unique experience. Lunch on the island was very good also with grills (chicken and sausages) and bananas flared. Experience that I advise, with good weather

Beautiful day - It was a beautiful day, fantastic sea, breathtaking views, good snorkelling, The dolphins can be seen very well, I admit that swimming with them is not very easy because they are fast but it is still an experience, the captain Cristiano of st Jerome was very kind and smiling, the barbecue on the beach of good quality (both fish and chicken), we had a lot of fun. I would add that the tour manager moved the trip due to adverse weather conditions but was also ready for reimbursement. I found it very correct and professional. I would definitely recommend.

Perfect day among dolphins - Wonderful experience. We swam with dolphins, they took us snorkeling surrounded by thousands of colorful fish, and we had a wonderful barbecue in front of the Ille de Benitiers, on a fabulous beach.

An experience for the whole family - An unforgettable beautiful day.The water at the dolphins was a bit murky, but this did not affect the experience of dolphin swimming.Snorkeling in the really crystal clear water, an absolute dream. Many Colorful curious fish.The food on the beach was also very delicious. We will not forget to take a speedboat past the Mauritius coast with a view of the beautiful green mountains. The guides were also very nice.On the whole we recommend this tour gladly.

Wonderful experience - The crew was super friendly & accommodating. They ensure everyone was on board with the activities & they ensured we got enough time doing all the planned activities. There was a bit of a miscommunication with the private transport - and I found myself paying the set amount twice. However, the second driver was honest & clarified that it's a once off payment for the pick-up & drop-off.

Avoid! Even if it makes you dream. - Far too many people for this activity! Too many boats (20) ready to let go of humans (who can barely swim) in a world that is not theirs. That's too much! Dolphins are harassed and surrounded by noise, boats and swimmers. Thank you to Dino for his respect for animals, staying at a distance, in silence. The dolphins came to us. There, is the pleasure of observing them.

BIG FLOP! To avoid .... - Poor: Skype from the boat St Jerome of 5/4, no effort to help customers, bring them closer to dolphins, allows reflections, attacks his partner in front of customers... we ask him for fins he has none and miracle 2 hours later he finds some... No interest for customers on the other hand does not hesitate to ask for a tip: LOL doubts nothing!!!! Great. Romain equips him at the top with the customers, accompanies them in the water, guides them, struggles for all customers to observe the dolphins. He is very attentive to customers. Unfortunately he left us after the dolphins (disagree with the welcome of the Skyper) Ah I forgot: the island to the benign was closed so much the better we could shorten this experience. But warn us 24 hours before by negotiating 20€ discount: it’s average!!
