Best Dolphin Watching Tours Worldwide: Our Top 2

1.Mauritius Dolphin Encounter and Geographic Marvels Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 43 reviews · 8 hours · from $143Our pick

Start early with a shared wild-dolphin boat trip from Tamarin Bay, then enjoy a private drive through southwest Mauritius. Your route includes Trou aux Cerfs, Grand Bassin, Black River Gorges, Alexandra Falls, and Chamarel’s 7-Coloured Earth. Driver-guide Shiva has earned special praise for his island knowledge.

“De dolfijnen waren prachtig, maar geloof geen woord van de begeleiding. Je vaart met 20 bootjes achter een school(?) dolfijnen en krijgt het teken in de zee te springen wanneer de dolfijnen passeren. Daarna klim je terug op de boot, en doe je dit opnieuw. Ondanks dat het zeer mooi is om te zien, kan ik mij niet voorstellen dat dit aangenaam is voor de dieren.”

“Alex was an amazing guide! So informational. We had a lot of fun! I didn’t realize so much of outer banks was filmed here! Plus there was so much wildlife and Alex’s knowledge of the area was wonderful!”
