We were lucky enough to see several sperm whales. The team is friendly and professional and respectful of the animals. Thanks for this beautiful discovery.

Pascal and Vic were great guides! They were very knowledgeable about the dolphins and respected them. It was very easy to find a pod of spinner dolphins. It was an experience of a lifetime! My wife was able to swim with her favorite animals in the wild. The visibility wasn’t the greatest but we were still able to see many dolphins both above and below the surface

A perfect trip. We jumped into the water 4 times and saw the dolphins 3 of them. The organizers did a great job by not trying to surround the dolphins like the other boats did, but rather waiting so that we jumped into the water when they swam in our direction. We always kept a sufficient distance from the beautiful creatures. Thank you for the great experience. Highly recommended.

The company itself, Dolphin Encounter, was fine. We felt safe and were given size-appropriate life jackets, and a safety briefing at the start. The company was well-organised and the trip took off on time.
While the skipper of Dolphin Encounter didn’t chase the dolphins, we cannot say the same for the 23 other boats operating at sea. It was a huge disappointment to see other skippers literally chasing dolphins to get close—sometimes dangerously close to the dolphins, other boats, and swimmers. It was also highly disappointing to see tourists jumping in the water at the very first sight of a dolphin, sometimes literally ON TOP of the dolphins.
It wasn’t anything against the tour company. However, we deeply regretted going on this tour, and hope that someone within the Mauritian tour industry and/or ministry will do more to regulate these excursions. We’ve been on several wildlife trips over the years, and this was by and far the one we regret the most.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Dolswim, as they were recommended as one of the few animal -friendly tour companies to offer this experience. We got briefed on safety and the habits of the dolphins, everyone got a life vest, and when we went out to see the dolphins they didn't chase them down or come to close them to them. We all got to swim with them 2-3 times, 2 people at a time, better than other boats who send out whole crowds (without life vests). I'm really glad they care about the animals and wish other tour companies did the same. We also loved the snorkeling at the reef as there were different fish there than closer to the shore. We didn't get any breakfast though.

Had a great trip with Patrice and Stewart to see the dolphins, on our day we saw a huge pod of spinner dolphins including some young ones.
We were up early to meet them and headed out after a safety briefing and explanation of the dolphins habits etc and what we would be doing.
We were lucky enough to find them off of La Mourne and could jump in with snorkels and swim with them.
We spent an hour with them and then headed back with a stop for some more snorkeling on the edge of the reef to see some of the fish that hang out there.
All in all a great trip.

Seeing the mink whales and snorkelling was great.
Really disappointed to see so many people on other boats chasing the dolphins who were not feeling social because they had a baby. No respect for nature and it's beauty.

An amazing trip and achieved a personal dream.The two guys with us (22 Nov) were excellent, one held my hand so I cold snorkel with the dolphins underneath me 3 times. I will never forget this experience and it is all down to these two guys and the company.
I decided to write this as I rad some negative reviews, ignore them and just do it. These guys guys respected the dolphins,( we moved on to an area where there were only a few boats ) gave us life jackets, not all companies do this and a brief talk about our trip. We had time to see some fish afterwards.
Thank you so much.
