Boat trip
Full day: eco-minded dolphin encounter and barbecue on Île aux Bénitiers
Le Morne · Black River
AI-generated imageA full day bringing together an outing near the dolphins, presented as eco-minded, and a barbecue on Île aux Bénitiers. 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. 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.
Highlights
- A full day
- An approach to the dolphins billed as eco-minded
- A barbecue on Île aux Bénitiers
Good to know
- Dolphin watching is regulated in Mauritius: it is done with a licensed provider, and boats approach the animals from the side, at no-wake speed.
- Dolphins are not to be touched or fed, and no noise is made to attract them.
