Excellent outing Dolphins - Excellent: whether by the landscapes, dolphins but also the staff. We had Navy and Theo they are extremely nice and dolphin friendly. We had the opportunity to eat oysters and sea urchins caught together. To finish off the ride, you had the chance to swim with a turtle. Thank you for everything was GREAT!!!

Highlight of our stay - Highlight of our stay. Started early morning and had private boat ride to see pod of dolphins with option to swim with them then travelled to gorgeous island where had the most delicious seafood BBQ with hands down the best lobster we have ever tasted. Wonderful small family run business who deserve all of the amazing reviews they have got over the years- will definitely be back! Thank you!

An unforgettable day - A unique family day. Many thanks to Navy, Teo and Adam for these incredible moments. Great respect for nature and marine mammals we observed (whale, dolphins and turtle). A little piece of paradise during our beach meal with delicious cuisine. Many thanks Navy for your kindness and precious advice and for allowing us to swim with dolphins.

Highlight of our holiday - What an experience! By far, this day was the highlight of our holiday in Mauritius! Thank you to Miguel and crew for such an enjoyable day. We felt so looked after, and despite some pretty choppy water heading out of the lagoon, the boat ride was the smoothest I've ever experienced. All the other positive reviews are exactly how we experienced our day as well. So many dolphins, snorkeling, seeing a humpback whale on our way out, the most delicious seafood bbq, and to top it off, a snorkel with the prettiest turtle just prior to being dropped off at our hotel beach front. The best! Thank you!

Exceptional day - Many thanks for this wonderful day spent with you. I n the morning, we could see the dolphins and swim with them. I advise you the full day because the barbecue fish is to fall on the ground sea urchins, freshly caught oysters, lobsters and excellent tuna. To conclude this day little swim with turtles. Thank you.

Private dolphin tour with Lydia Tours - The description doesn't do this tour justice. It WAY exceeded our expectations and was a definite highlight of the holiday. From being 1st out to see the dolphins for a good 20 minutes, to swimming with a pod of 30, but our captain, Thierry, being very careful not to overv crowd them or stay too long, we then saw Crystal rock and had the MOST amazing seafood lunch on Ile aux Benitiers. Lydia Tours have a pitch right at the end of the tourist drag, away from all the stalls and mass tourist boats, so it actually felt quite idyllic. On our way back, Thierry stopped to show us and allow us to swim with wild turtles, but being very good about telling us not to get too close so it coukd come up for air, unlike other tour operators around us. I couldn't recommend Lydia Tours more. Very professional, great conservationist ambassadors and very knowledgeable. Our 10 and 12 year olds had the best experience ever. Thank you Thierry and Theo.

Perfect day with spern wahles, humpback whales, turtles and dolphin school - Perfect private day trip ( 2 adults and 2 kids) with lots of sperm whales and Humpback whales and spinner dolphin group and excellent beach barbeque with sea urchins, oysters, shrimps, lobster, unicorn fish and grilled banana. Also two nice snorchel spots at Le Morne with green sea turtles.. The skipper Miguel did a good job and the young guide Christiano did a good safety guide job while snorcheling with the dolphins. We would have done the half day tour with dolhin swimming again but it was unluckily booked for many weeks in advance.. We will recommend that tour to friends and family!!!

Breathtaking experience - Our trip to Bénetier Island was a breathtaking experience. We were able to swim with dolphins and snorkel in the lagoon with turtles and many beautiful fishes. The barbecue at Bénetier was excellent and couldn't have been better. Many, many thanks to our great guides Navy and Ivan, who did everything to give us a perfect day :)
