The best of both worlds combined into one exceptional excursion…
For a peaceful and respectful interaction with dolphins, it’s recommended to start early at 6:15 during the winter season and 5:30 during the summer season. The tour typically involves observing bottlenose or spinner dolphins and swimming with them for approximately 60 to 90 minutes. After that, the tour proceeds to look for whales.
In Mauritius, there are usually two different species of whales : sperm whales that reside year-round and live far away at sea. And humpback whales, which only migrate to our shores from May to September to feed and protect newborns or calves. We will watch humpback whales or sperm whales in their natural environment according to the season and our luck that day.
The trip will last about 4 hours, based on their location. Patience is key with the whales.
Please note that there is a possibility that we may not see whales, but we use a hydrophone to locate them. We offer a discount of 10% on the overall rate if you do not see the whales.
There could be a relatively long search period to find them, we do not recommend young children aboard for this specific excursion.
It’s important to approach marine wildlife with care and caution, and to follow any regulations or guidelines in place for the area where you are observing them. Remember that dolphins and whales are wild animals and should be respected in their natural habitat. Additionally, it’s important to minimize our impact on the environment and practice sustainable and eco-friendly behavior while enjoying these amazing creatures.
Homemade banana bread and soft drinks will be provided while on tour.
Add your personal underwater photos and videos with dolphins, taken by our photography guides using the latest GoPro cameras. Please note that the final outcome of the photos and videos will be subject to the interaction with the dolphin, your swimming skills, and the overall sea conditions. Once reviewed and approved, all files will be provided to you on an SD card at the end of the trip or sent via WeTransfer.
It is prohibited to swim with whales in Mauritius according to the Tourism Authority (Dolphin and Whale Watching) Regulations 2012. This trip is only a viewing experience as per law in Mauritius.
Maximum Capacity per boat is 8 people. You can reserve the boat (price remains the same for up to 4 guests) and specify any additional people to each boat.

We had an absolutely unreal morning with The Vitamin Sea team, Frederico and Frankie we’re exceptional! We saw so many dolphins and they both made sure we were well taken care of for our sunrise trip out at sea! Would highly recommend! Definitely a stand out trip whilst in Mauritius!!! Thank you so much for the amazing memories
Very uncomplicated team. Everything worked easily and perfectly. Any time. Both the communication and the organization worked very well in advance. Everything was prepared on site and the process was perfect. Thanks.
If you can... do this trip!
Here's what you need to know - you must be a strong swimmer, the boat takes you out on the water and you just jump in! In hindsight, I wish I had practised a bit more with mask, snorkel and fins. BUT... what an experience. Our guide was Stefan and he was great, doing his best to make sure that we got the most from our time with them.
There were dolphins everywhere! The noise is amazing, all the clicks and whistles are so easy to hear underwater.
We had the photo package and I would recommend this so that you can fully immerse yourself in the experience.
Everything was perfect from front to back. Started at the pick-up from the hotel to the tour. The experience of swimming with dolphins in the open sea is simply unique. The photos were also worth booking. I can highly recommend it to everyone.
The contact before also went perfectly.
Today we went out swimming with dolphins down at La Morne. The boat leaves from La Balise Marina in Tamarin. What an excellent experience especially for my grandchildren. Cedric and John took great care of our group and nothing was too much trouble for them. Recommend that you take their video package as Cedric really knows how to capture your experience.
Absolutely amazing experience
A definite must do bucket list item going swimming with dolphins. The team at Vitamin Sea are truly professional, friendly and know what they are doing, inspiring confidence whilst out on the ocean. They are truly the best. Our guides Kelle and Mattheu went out of their way to help my wife who is disabled, to embark and disembark the boat and to help her get into the sea.
It is well worth every cent and getting up before the crack of dawn.
We will be back in future to swim with the dolphins.
Thank you to the amazing team at Vitamin Sea
AMAZING!
What an experience! Thank you so much to the whole team, it was an experience that we will never forget.
We would highly recommend to anyone looking at booking, it was worth every penny!
We had a great moment thanx to Johan and Gilberto !
And thanx to the dolphins of course 😁
We left early and we enjoyed the first moments alone with the Dolphins. Even after, when other ships arrived, we were lucky to be with the VitaminSea team... Johan has a perfect knowledge of their behaviour, movements and can guide you safely.
For sure, without the knowledge of the team it would not be such a great experience.
I will never forget this day, these pictures, and all those emotions
Watching only trip isnt good, because you watch only small dots on sea, bud snorkelling with dolphins was great, a lot of animals is swiminng along you.......very nice.
