After the dolphin encounter, your private driver will take you to the North of the island, where some of the most beautiful beaches can be found. You'll have a chance to explore up to 4 of these gems. You will be able to choose how much time you spend at each beach. The entire tour, including swimming with the dolphins, lasts up to 8 hours. Located adjacent to the town of Trou aux Biches, this stunning beach offers great conditions for both swimming and snorkelling as it is blessed with calm water and gently shelving sands. There is an abundance of authentic street food stands, as well as a string of cafes next to the beach, so this is a great place to enjoy lunch if you're hungry (note that the price of lunch is not included).

Stop At: Mont Choisy Beach, Au nord ouest de l'île Maurice, Mont Choisy, Mauritius

Welcome to one of the longest beaches on the island!

It also features several food options that you can savour while soaking in the beauty of the beach.

Stop At: Pereybere Beach, Coastal Road, Grand Baie, Mauritius

Located next to the resort town of Pereybere, this is one of the island's most popular beaches among Mauritians.

Swimming with the dolphins and later fish was an amazing experience. Beach Hopping would have been a wonderful experience if the driving time in between is properly planned, 8hrs is not enough. As a result we only went to Tamarin and Mont Choisy Beach, beautiful ⛱️ .

Very nice and beautiful place based in tamarind baie.sometimes its crowded but very beautiful and nice view.The dolphins are in nature enjoying in the morning around 9am till 11am.sometimes we can see around 15 dolphins but sometimes they are in large group of 35 to 40.I will suggest people to do this in a private tour contact taximauritiustours.com I really enjoyed this trip with very helpful driver which offered an excellent service.

The 'swimming with wild dolphins' experience should not be advertised on this trip or even be in the title. What they fail to tell you in the 'what to expect' bit is that there is around 20 others boats in the sea doing the exact same excursion as you. It isn't as private as it's made out to be. It was absolute chaos on the boats. There's far to many out there doing the same thing and it spoils the experience as you don't really get to see much, as soon as the dolphins are spotted all the boats race to be the first one to the spot which then causes the dolphins to go under and swim away. It was like a giant game of hide and seek. We didn't get to swim with them like it's made out to be. The snorkelling is only for 15 minutes and again your surrounded by a lot of other boats. We booked this because it sounded like you was going to get an amazing private experience. The only bit that's private is the beach hopping. If it wasn't for the beach hopping this would have scored a 1 star.
