Benitiers island was paradise on earth - my favourite place to visit in Mauritius. Swimming with dolphins in the wild was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I will never forget. The skippers were fantastic and the BBQ was delicious!

We really enjoyed this Tour! Based on the previous reviews, we were first a bit insecure, whether we should book it, as we do not want to support Organizations that do not respect nature. Luckily we found St. Jerome Cruise with Josué as a guide and Arnold as captain. We were only 11 people on the boat (including the guide and the captain). Josué gave us really good instructions and mentioned that we should respect the nature. Arnold did a really good job as he was not stressing the dolphins with the boat. All of us saw the dolphins. It was a wonderful experience. It is a bit stressful in the beginning as you have to be fast to jump off the boat in order to see it - but totally worth it. They were swimming beneath me and I even saw one spinning - so beautiful! For everyone booking a tour please consider: Dolphins are wild animals and we enter their "home". Please respect them and don't try to touch them. Make sure to book the right organization who consider this as well.
