Excellent - This was my favourite trip in Mauritius. We saw soo many dolphins around us - it was truly a magical experience. I was also surprised by the amount of food we were served on the island. The views were fantastic - just like in the pictures. Thank you!

Incredible experience of swimming with dolphins in their natural habitat! Emotional, exhausting and exhilarating! - An amazing day out from start to finish. Picked up by the lovely Dhiren to take us to the south (considerately stopping for coffee enroute) for one of the best days ever!
The boat took us out to where the dolphins would be & the crew briefed us on when to jump in and what to do. Owen and Nino were the best guides and out of 3 jumps swam with dolphins all around twice. Hard work to swim and keep up but worth it. Then headed to benitiere island for bbq lunch. Great food and relaxing island. All in all an amazing day thank you

Amazing Experience - Fantastic trip from start to finish, very organised and we had so much fun! Crazy to see and swim with all those dolphins! We were really lucky! We will do it again when we’re back in February next year! Thank you all so much!

Mauritius dolphins swim with dolphins - Had an amazing experience saw and swam with the dolphins. You had to be quick jumping in the sea but it was well worth it. The skipper was brilliant. The taxi picked us up promptly on other side of the island about an hour away. We then got into the boat about 8 of us so it was perfect. Snorkelled around the crystal rock and then had a fab lunch and creole dancing and singing and lots of rum beer and non alcoholic drinks. I totally recommend this company from start to finish. Book up you will not regret it.

Unforgettable experience - It was a unique and unforgettable experience to swim so close to the dolphins! Then in itself the continuation of the day was very nice. The island where you have lunch is very wild and heavenly! The driver who picked us up from the hotel was super nice and explained the whole history of the island! Surely when we return to Mauritius we will do this excursion again!

Full Day Dolphin Watching Cruise - I went on a dolphin watching cruise with EcoHolidays Mauritius and had an amazing time. I booked the trip through the trip advisor app three days before. Our boat driver was incredible and positioned the boat in the perfect place for us to get in the water as the dolphins swim past. After spending a few hours with the dolphins we then set off to see crystal rock to take some photographs. We spent lunchtime and early afternoon sitting on the beach of a small island and had a bbq which was also fantastic. I would highly recommend booking your dolphin experience with EcoHolidays Mauritius, it was a great experience.

A beautiful day - An incredible day. We saw lots of dolphins, there were several boats but that's the game.... Lunch on the island of Benitier a very good memory, but the break time a little too long.

Really nice day! - We were picked up in the morning by a very friendly man, so we arrived well in time. We then took a speedboat to the dolphins, we saw a lot of them.
Then we went by boat to another place for snorkeling, very nice coral seen with many different fish.
Then we had a lovely BBQ on a lovely island. More than enough food and drink!
As a tip or what could be better was the explanation about the dolphins, this was not there except that there are big and small dolphins. And had to ask ourselves if we could swim with the dolphins.
The captain wasn't very enthusiastic.
Further TOP day had!

Bad experience - They sell us ecotourism and harass whales and dolphins! We had another 2017 experience that was definitely superior to this one! Too much business! The excursion was too timed! We had to go back to the landing to drop off several people who were not doing the other part of the excursion so wasted time for the people who had paid the entire excursion! Too expensive for what it is! We will not recommend it.

Tourist trap .... - The cruise disappointed me so much!! (tourist trap)
I have witnessed, and no cheerfulness of heart irresponsible behavior!!
boat "pilots" arriving at the site at full speed in circles in the water. The goal, to scare the dolphins to run away and make good out of the water and all day multiplied by about twenty boats!!
At no time did I see the dolphins having fun of the situation, at no time did I see the dolphins come swimming around the boats!!
Giving 67 rupees to attend this aquatic parody broke my heart!!
The most extraordinary thing is that I went to the agency that had sold me the tickets, when I told her what I had witnessed she replied that it was strictly forbidden, that several people had already given her the information and that the authorities condemned this practice!!
