Full-day cruise with lunch and refreshments

If you have ever dreamed of getting up close and personal with wild dolphins, don’t miss your opportunity! We set sails early from Grand Bay and head south towards Tamarin and its resident population of bottlenose and spinner dolphins. By the time we get there the dolphins – sometimes up to 200 of them – will be busy playing and splashing around and you may even get a chance to swim with them!

Although the dolphins of Tamarin are certainly a highlight of this cruise, we very often come across whales and dolphins all along the west coast. This is a coastline of outstanding natural beauty, dotted with spectacular sea cliffs and historical sites. We will sail past the magnificent Albion Lighthouse, one of only two lighthouses that remain in operation (along with the one atop Flat Island). The Albion lighthouse was inaugurated in 1910 and still serves as a precious beacon to the incoming ships travelling to Port-Louis with its imposing height.

After your wild encounter with dolphins, you will have plenty of opportunities to snorkel in crystal clear waters among countless colourful tropical fish while your crew will be busy preparing a sumptuous BBQ buffet. In the background, Le Morne Brabant, perhaps Mauritius’ most famous landmark, will provide great photo opportunities!
