“The experience overall was amazing !!!!! From the time we got picked up, we were taken care of by Olivier and he gave us lots of info about everything around. He stopped at 2 places to snorkel and was so nice to us helping out as needed. We were then taken to a beautiful island and we got to experience the most wonderful local food. Both the veg and the non veg options were absolutely delicious!!!!! We then got to relax by the beach and when we were all set to go back, we were taken back in the glass bottom boat and we got another chance to snorkel again!!!!…”

Review of Mauritius dolphin watching and snorkeling from La Preneuse, with speedboat thrills, wild encounters, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Fantastic trip, guides were really good and helpful in finding the dolphins. If you book this remember they are wild animals and don’t stop for a photo shoot so be prepared to swim as fast as you can for a a couple mins to keep up with them. Also as a note they swim about 3m under the surface so don’t expect that as surface level”

“Il y a beaucoup trop de bateaux sur le site pour pouvoir vraiment profiter des dauphins Les guides étaient très sympa Bien attentionnés et très prudents Par contre un retour à 14h sur la plage c’est beaucoup trop tôt On devrait pouvoir profiter plus longtemps de rester sur les sites de plongée et sur l’île aux bénitiers après le déjeuner du midi”
Review of Mauritius turtle snorkeling by private speedboat, with prices, timing, wildlife, safety notes, value, and booking advice.
“The boat trip in itself was good, very quick journey there and back which meant more time in the water with the turtles! We liked that it was a personal experience however there were many other boats in the same area. I would only recommend this trip to strong swimmers as the tour guides drove off whilst the water was slightly choppy, no life vests offered and a long swim back to the boat. Overall, a good experience and tour guides very patient with taking you to multiple areas to search for the turtles!”
An animal, a kind of water, a kind of boat, or a kind of day.
