Experience the magic of swimming with wild dolphins in their natural habitat
Swimming with dolphins in Mauritius is a truly magical experience that connects you with these intelligent and playful creatures in their natural ocean environment.
The west coast of Mauritius, particularly around Tamarin Bay, is home to spinner and bottlenose dolphins that can be spotted almost daily in the early morning hours.
Unlike captive dolphin experiences, here you'll encounter wild dolphins in their natural habitat, observing their natural behaviors as they swim, play, and interact with each other.
