Swim with dolphins - Very nice and beautiful place based in tamarind baie.sometimes its crowded but very beautiful and nice view.The dolphins are in nature enjoying in the morning around 9am till 11am.sometimes we can see around 15 dolphins but sometimes they are in large group of 35 to 40.I will suggest people to do this in a private tour contact taximauritiustours.com I really enjoyed this trip with very helpful driver which offered an excellent service.

Amazing experience - Swimming with the dolphins and later fish was an amazing experience. Beach Hopping would have been a wonderful experience if the driving time in between is properly planned, 8hrs is not enough. As a result we only went to Tamarin and Mont Choisy Beach, beautiful ⛱️ .

Not worth doing, waste of time. - The 'swimming with wild dolphins' experience should not be advertised on this trip or even be in the title. What they fail to tell you in the 'what to expect' bit is that there is around 20 others boats in the sea doing the exact same excursion as you. It isn't as private as it's made out to be. It was absolute chaos on the boats. There's far to many out there doing the same thing and it spoils the experience as you don't really get to see much, as soon as the dolphins are spotted all the boats race to be the first one to the spot which then causes the dolphins to go under and swim away. It was like a giant game of hide and seek. We didn't get to swim with them like it's made out to be. The snorkelling is only for 15 minutes and again your surrounded by a lot of other boats. We booked this because it sounded like you was going to get an amazing private experience. The only bit that's private is the beach hopping. If it wasn't for the beach hopping this would have scored a 1 star.
