Welcome to Tamarin, the Heart of Dolphin Country
Hello and welcome! We’re so happy you’re thinking about joining us for a swim with dolphins Mauritius experience. Our home, Tamarin, is a peaceful fishing village on the west coast, famous for its calm blue waters and friendly people. Our crew grew up right here, and we love sharing the magic of Tamarin Bay dolphins with visitors from all over the world.
Why Swim with Us?
We believe swimming with dolphins Mauritius should be special for you—and safe for the dolphins. Our dolphin tours Mauritius are approved by local authorities and follow strict rules to protect these amazing animals. We never chase, feed, or crowd the dolphins. Instead, we keep our groups small and always respect their space. Our skippers and spotters know these waters like the back of their hand, and your safety and comfort are always our top priorities.
What Happens on the Tour
Your Mauritius dolphin swim adventure starts in Tamarin, where our smiling crew will greet you and help you get ready. Before we set off, we’ll give you a simple safety talk and explain how we do dolphin watching Mauritius in a way that’s good for the dolphins and fun for you. Then we’ll head out on the boat for about 2.5 hours. When we find dolphins, you’ll have the chance to gently slip into the water and watch them swim and play in their natural home. Sometimes you’ll hear their clicks and whistles underwater—it’s a feeling you’ll never forget!
What to Bring
To have the best time, please bring sun cream, a towel, and wear your swimming suit before you arrive. We recommend you bring your own snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, and fins), as we don’t provide these onboard right now. Don’t worry—we have life jackets for everyone, and we’ll keep you refreshed with water and soft drinks.
