About This Cruise with Transfer
The west coast dolphin catamaran is one of Mauritius’ signature experiences — and adding a return hotel transfer makes it completely effortless. You are collected from your hotel, dropped at the Tamarin jetty, and returned after a full day of dolphins, snorkelling and sailing.
The day starts early for a reason: the spinner and bottlenose dolphins of Tamarin Bay are most active in the morning, and the cruise is timed for the best possible chance of a genuine wild encounter. From there you sail along the west coast with Le Morne as your backdrop, stopping to snorkel in the clear lagoon and enjoy a freshly grilled BBQ lunch with an open bar.
Because the transfer price depends on your hotel and route, we show this as a combined “from” price. When you book, we confirm your exact pickup time and the total combined cost before anything is final.
Full Day Itinerary
Hotel pickup
Your driver collects you from your hotel early, at the confirmed time, and brings you directly to the Tamarin jetty for the dolphin cruise.
Board & dolphin encounter
Set off into Tamarin Bay where dolphins are most active. Keep your eyes on the horizon — pods often ride the bow wave and leap alongside the boat.
Sail along the west coast
Cruise south with Le Morne mountain as your backdrop, gliding past the dramatic west coast scenery.
Snorkelling & BBQ lunch
Anchor in clear water for a snorkel, then enjoy a freshly grilled BBQ lunch on deck with an open bar.
Relax & swim
Swim, sunbathe and enjoy the calm west coast lagoon as the day winds down.
Return sail & hotel drop-off
Sail back to the jetty where your driver is waiting to take you comfortably back to your hotel.
