Set out from Grande Riviere Noire on a speedboat for up to 14 passengers, with two skippers and guides. Swim with spinner and bottlenose dolphins, watch whales from the boat, then snorkel at a coral reef. The crew briefs you on safe, low-impact wildlife encounters.
“We saw everyhing we could, several sper whales and a lot of dephins! The boat crew was very kind and helpful.”
Set out early from Le Morne with Lydia Boat’s private crew, including guides such as Miguel, Navy, Owen, and Rino. Look for wild dolphins and whales, snorkel near Crystal Rock, and enjoy oysters, sea urchin, lobster, fish, drinks, and a seafood barbecue, now served on the boat while Benitier Island is closed.
“Our trip to Bénetier Island was a breathtaking experience. We were able to swim with dolphins and snorkel in the lagoon with turtles and many beautiful fishes. The barbecue at Bénetier was excellent and couldn't have been better. Many, many thanks to our great guides Navy and Ivan, who did everything to give us a perfect day :)”
Leave Rivière Noire at 6am with Whale Dream’s crew, using a hydrophone to find sperm whales, pilot whales, humpbacks, or dolphins. You may swim only with dolphins, then snorkel with provided gear. The private boat fits up to four and includes snacks and soft drinks.
“Good and trustworthy company for the whales tour. They are taking deposits from clients so you know for sure that the trip will take place. Other companies are often cancelling the trips last minute so Whale Dream is a safe choice. 😊”
Set out from Grande Riviere Noire at 10 a.m. with a maximum of eight people. Your crew uses a hydrophone and whale blows to locate sperm whales year-round and humpbacks from June to October. Guides such as Clovis, Yobis, Julian, and Fletcher are noted for safety and respectful whale watching.
