Île aux Bénitiers: excursion with dolphin watching and lunch

An excursion to Île aux Bénitiers, with time set aside for dolphin watching, and lunch. Île aux Bénitiers lies in the south-west lagoon, near Le Morne: an uninhabited island of about two kilometres by five hundred metres, with a white-sand beach and a small coconut grove. Dolphins are mostly seen off the west coast of Mauritius, where two species occur, the bottlenose and the spinner dolphin, often travelling in pods of around twenty. They are wild animals, and no outing can command their presence.
