MAURITIUS · ISLAND
The best of the island.
The 10 best grande riviere noire tours in Mauritius. What to expect from each, who runs it, and what you'll pay before you book.
Swim with spinner and bottlenose dolphins off Mauritius’ Black River, then spot whales from a speedboat and snorkel the reef.
“We saw the sperm whales and dolphins within 2.5 hours. It’s so easy to find them compared with other countries. Our captain was very professional and eco-friendly who prohibited us to swim with the mummy whale. 5/5 experience”
VIP northern Mauritius: Port Louis market, Pamplemousses water lilies, unlimited rum at Aventure du Sucre, Pereybere snorkel, Cap Malheureux red church.
“We had an amazing experience with Sameer. He is truly one of the best! Professional, friendly, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. You can really feel his passion for what he does. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy, don’t hesitate!”
Sunrise dolphin swim and snorkeling on Mauritius’ west coast in a small group, with a brand-new boat, fruits, and snacks.
“GENIAL ! Un grand merci à Izel et son skipper pour leur gentillesse et leur professionnalisme. Très respectueux des dauphins contrairement à d’autres bateaux que nous avons pu voir, ils ont tout fait pour que chaque personne puisse profiter et voir au mieux les dauphins. Je recommande vivement ! Encore un grand merci !”
Swim with dolphins in West Mauritius, visit Crystal Rock, then relax on Ile aux Bénitiers with BBQ lunch and snorkeling.
“Une merveilleuse croisière, les guides ont bien pris le temps pour qu’on puisse profiter de chaque moment (nage avec les dauphins, nage à proximité du Cristal Rock et temps libre sur l’île).”
A shared catamaran cruise along Mauritius’ west coast with a dolphin search, snorkeling at La Preneuse or L’Harmonie, and BBQ lunch plus Ile aux Bénitiers time.
“A perfect day! Very cozy, the crew was great, compared to the other boat tours that were around, this was the biggest boat with more than enough space for everyone. We'd book it again right away”
Private 4-hour snorkel by speedboat in Mauritius to see dolphins and whales, visit Crystal Rock, and swim in a natural aquarium.
“My husband and I had the best morning ever!! We were sadly let down by another outfit the day before, but Ikbal was very responsive with our last minute booking when I contacted him last night and sent his wonderful skipper, Ali and his assistant Bebe to give us the best experience this morning! Ali…”
3-hour small-group Mauritius boat trip: swim with dolphins, then watch sperm whales (humpbacks seasonally) at sunrise off the west coast.
“Grundsätzlich war es eine echt super Erfahrung, trotz des Deutschen an Board 😅 (kleiner Scherz). Einzig, die Verpflegung könnte dem Preis mehr angemessen sein. Würde es aber jederzeit wieder machen ✌🏻👍🏻”
Private dolphin swim off Mauritius by speedboat plus a coral-reef snorkel. Includes guide, gear, drinks, and safety lifejackets.
“Un vrai moment de bonheur ! Inoubliable…Des dauphins vous en voulez et bien en voilà 😀! Et le summum voir un bébé avec sa mère nager côte à côte ensemble. Quelle belle expérience!!!! Merci”
Private speedboat in Mauritius for a dolphin swim, coral-reef snorkeling, and whale watching with humpbacks and sperm whales.
“Two guides on the boat were very nice, but rules of company horrible (wearing life vest during swimming with dolphins) made us impossible to swim under water and take the pictures. We saw many people on other boats (other conpanies) and not wearing vests.”
6-hour private catamaran from Mauritius’ west coast for dolphin spotting, snorkeling at Crystal Rock, BBQ lunch, and Île aux Bénitiers.
“Super journée bateau, l’équipage est super et la vue sublime !”
