Overview
Dolphins, Crystal Rock and Coral reefs
Life is all about those “wow” moments—and swimming with wild dolphins? Definitely one for the bucket list! Every morning on the west coast of Mauritius, we get to hang out with wild dolphins. You’ll find two species around here—bottlenose dolphins and spinner dolphins. If the ocean’s feeling generous, you might even spot both!
Then enjoy exploring our favorite snorkeling spot, much like a natural aquarium where the underwater world is alive with a wonderful variety of fish, corals, clams, sponges, starfish and turtles.
And because we love a grand finale, our last boat trip stop is the iconic Crystal Rock—the famous coral formation rising from the middle of the clearest blue waters you’ve ever seen. Relax, get active and share unforgettable moments.

FIRST
STOP
Our love for these ocean creatures runs deep, and we’re here to guide you through a heartwarming
experience, with respect and awe leading the way. Watching them glide through the water and
interact with each other is pure magic. It’s not just a swim; it’s a moment that’ll leave you feeling
emotional and full of joy!
We’ll get an early start—between 5:30 and 6:30—so you can have a tranquil and mindful encounter with these ocean beauties, who are known for their playfulness and intelligence.
Just a heads-up: Dolphin behavior can be a bit unpredictable. They’re wild, after all! While we can’t guarantee how many dolphins you’ll see or what they’ll be up to, our passionate crew will always do the very best to make your trip special.

STOP
Your last stop is the spectacular Crystal Rock—Mauritius’ hidden gem that rises straight out of the turquoise lagoon like something from a dream. It’s this stunning coral formation in the middle of the clearest water you’ve ever seen, making it the perfect backdrop for those “pinch me, is this real?” moments.
Whether you’re snapping photos, soaking in the view, or taking a refreshing dive into the crystalclear turquoise waters from your private boat charter, the natural phenomenon of the Crystal Rock is the last highlight and the cherry on top of an already epic boat trip.
