A great excursion in Mauritius! - This excursion was awesome from start to finish. Our driver (Faiz) was wonderful. Safe, kind, on time, and knowledgable about the island. The tour was incredible with everyone having a chance to swim with a large pod of dolphins. In my opinion, you need to be a pretty strong swimmer to do this, but watching from the boat would be great too. The tour around the crystal clear waters was terrific. The island stop for lunch exceeded all expectations! It was a fun area with other boats coming in, swimming, music and a delicious lunch with BBQ chicken, fish, salad, and garlic bread-all cooked by the guides! I would definitely recommend this tour.

An Amazing Day on the Water - I recently joined the Full day Shared Speedboat Tour to the South West Lagoon with Cozy Trip and Tours, and it was a day well spent. The highlight was definitely the dolphin swim, an experience that was both thrilling and unique. The crew was professional, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the adventure. The speedboat ride itself was exhilarating, offering stunning views of the coastline and crystal clear waters. The itinerary was well-organized, allowing ample time for each activity without feeling rushed. It was a simple, yet unforgettable way to explore the natural beauty of Mauritius. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a blend of excitement and serenity.

Dolphin trip - The trip was very good and we witnessed dolphins in their natural habitat. It was slightly unorganised on arrival as boats seemed to be going from everywhere but we managed to find ours. If I had one criticism, it would be that there was no food or water or any other drinks on the boat. It was an early start and we missed breakfast and did not get a drink or food until about midday. A few bottles of water and a croissant would have been a nice touch.

Not a dolphin swim at all - Quite an annoying experience it was. You wake up at 5, getting picked up, it's an hour drive, then you wait for some more time until all the people gather, then you take around 15 minutes on a speed boat and all these difficulties are just to come to a place where the dolphins are, just to see that's it a small patch of the ocean, surrounded by literally 25 other boats, all circling around the poor dolphins. It's impossible to jump into the water to try to swim with these mammals, as you have quite high chances of being ran over by a boat. We spent there around 20 minutes, saw a couple of dolphins' fins and backs, and went to the snorkeling place, which took 20 more minutes of speed boating. The snorkeling was mediocre as there is basically nothing to see in these waters. After that we headed to some island to have a lunch there. The dinner was really nice, I have to admit, with meat dishes and beverages. After that we had some time to spare on the shore and were taken to the transfer car to finally make it home. So, the transfer experience and the lunch are the only positive sides of this trip, the most important parts or the trip were terrible. Don't ever waste your money on this attraction.
