Dreamlike boat tour

Wonderful tour with dolphins, snorkeling, and seafood grill on Île aux Benitiers. We were excellently accompanied. For snorkeling, we had a spot a bit away from Crystal Rock, where we were all alone with wonderful fishing grounds. The barbecue was simply amazing. Probably the best lobster I have ever eaten! Thank you very much!

Highly Recommended – An Unforgettable Day with Lydia Boat Tours!

We had an absolutely amazing day with Lydia Boat Tours that gave the real wow factor to our holiday in Mauritius! The adventure started with swimming with dolphins, followed by fantastic snorkelling. We then headed to beautiful Île aux Bénitiers for fresh sea urchins, oysters, and a delicious BBQ seafood lunch. There was a quick photo stop at iconic Crystal Rock, before a thrilling full-throttle speed boat ride back around to Le Morne. We finished on a high with one last snorkel session with turtles. Everything was perfectly organised, the crew were brilliant, and the scenery and marine life were just spectacular. If you’re in Mauritius, this trip is a must-do. Highly recommended!

Whales, dolphins, turtles and lunch!

The highlight of our trip to Mauritius and a once in a lifetime experience- everything was just amazing from getting to see sperm whales, swimming with dolphins, swimming with sea turtle and the most amazing lunch. Fresh uni was a new and delicious experience! The grilled seafood was all delicious and one of our favorite meals of the trip.

Fantastic and unforgettable adventure with dolphins for our granddaughter Léonie’s birthday!

Our whole family (5 adults and a 10-year-old) enjoyed the adventure excursion with dolphins and two beautiful Snorkeling stops lasting a total of 3 hours from 6am (essential to find dolphins early). We were able to observe 4 times the entire families of dolphins swimming above them! We also saw the impressive Crystal Rock and saw countless colorful fish including the clown fish above a sea anemone and a stunning sea turtle. Thanks to the very friendly and professional skipper and also to Emilio who guided us to observe the dolphins! Only downside but still excused, Emilio forgot to activate my Camera (Action Cam)! Luckily I was able to film some amazing moments with dolphins myself!

The best experience

We had an absolutely incredible boating experience, truly one of the highlights of our trip to Mauritius. Our skipper Emilio and Anni were both excellent—professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the entire journey. They brought us out to see dolphins, which was absolutely spectacular. Emilio even swam with me to ensure my safety, which I really appreciated. We also went snorkeling and saw turtles along with a beautiful variety of colorful fish. One of the most unique parts of the trip was when our skipper freshly picked sea urchins and oysters straight from the ocean for us to enjoy as starters—it was such a special and delicious experience! The day got even better when we arrived at the island, where they prepared an amazing seafood lunch for us: freshly grilled lobster, shrimp, and fish, served with salad and garlic grilled bread. Everything was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. We even had banana flambé for dessert, along with unlimited drinks throughout the trip. Everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully done. A huge thank you to Emilio and Anni for making this experience so memorable—they truly deserve a 5-star rating!

All right.

The truth was very good, also the day did not accompany much and everything and so it was a very good experience. We saw dolphins, turtles, lunch was great value for money very well. I would repeat
