7 hours

Easy

See the dolphins in their natural habitat in the open sea on a full-day tour. Visit the famous Crystal Rock and snorkel in the crystal-clear lagoon. Enjoy a 3-course lunch on Benitier Island.
Embark on a full-day adventure to swim with dolphins in their natural habitat. Visit Crystal Rock, snorkel in the crystal-clear lagoon, and enjoy a 3-course lunch on Benitier Island.  Board a speedboat and set out to open sea to see and go for the encounter of the dolphins. During the cruise, your skipper and guide will explain how to approach these magnificent mammals and share swimming guidelines to respect the dolphins and their natural habitat.  Once there, you’ll have the chance to swim, an incredibly moving experience that brings you face-to-face with stunning landscapes, untouched scenery, and amazing wildlife.  After the encounter of the dolphins, head to the famous Crystal Rock. There, snorkel in the crystal-clear lagoon and capture some incredible photos. Crystal Rock is a stunning natural phenomenon found in the southwest of the island, set in the Morne lagoons. This sublime rock formation sits just a few hundred meters offshore and offers a splendid view.  Following your swim, make your way to Benitier Island to enjoy a 3-course lunch. Our skilled cooks will begin preparing the meal as soon as you arrive, and in less than an hour, you’ll feast on a delicious menu of grilled seafood, fish, chicken, sausages, garlic bread, salads, and dessert: Banana Flambe. A wide selection of unlimited local drinks will be available on the island during lunch.  After lunch, have time to relax—soak up the sun on the beach, stroll along the island’s endless shoreline, or explore the stunning lagoons and coral reefs surrounding the island.
