Private Morning Dolphin Experience

Out early, engine quiet, and time to wait for the pods

We leave Le Morne early, when the west coast is usually at its calmest, and go looking for the resident spinner and bottlenose dolphins. Your boat is yours alone, so the pace is yours too.

Private Morning Dolphin Experience

Our skippers grew up in this bay. They know where the pods rest at dawn and, just as importantly, when to cut the engine and simply wait. We keep our distance, we never cut across a pod, and we never chase — the dolphins decide how close the encounter gets.

On the way back we stop in the lagoon for a snorkel over the coral, with Le Morne standing over you the whole way.

Good to know

How many people can come?
Nine in total, adults and children together, including children under five. The Rs 12,500 covers any two people; after that we add Rs 500 per adult and Rs 250 per child aged five to twelve.
Will we definitely see dolphins?
Most mornings we do, but they are wild animals and we will not chase them. Our skippers use their own judgement about where to look and when to leave a pod alone.
