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!
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!
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.
Beautiful exceptional day from the sea trip to the meal at the Île aux Benitier at the top With a magnificent animation from everyone, we recommend 1000%
An unforgettable experience at lydia Boat which began with an encounter with two different species of dolphins directly in the water! Then dive with corals and absolutely beautiful marine species, visit crystal rock and swim with turtles... paradise followed by a beard boat on the island of the benitier with sea urchins oysters lobsters fish, just a thousand thanks for this magical moment to Emilio and Miguel who made us full of them throughout the experience with their kindness!
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!

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!

And on the return we were able to swim with turtles ... I highly recommend this outing
