Enjoy a Full-day activity cruising on a speedboat, including a visit to Benitiers Island and delicious lunch. You will have a unique experience of swimming with dolphins in their natural surroundings. An activity that will stay vivid in your memories forever.

Early morning for calm waters: you will begin this day early in the morning. That is because early morning is when the sea is the most calm and when the dolphins come around to play, not shying away. Once you get on board the speed boat, the skipper will brief you on the experience you are about to have and on the day itinerary. Then you will be off for a wonderful two and half hours in the open sea with the dolphins!

You’ll plunge into the remarkable world of these marine mammals and come face to face with the dolphins.

Next Stop, Benitiers Island! After the 2.5 hours outing with the dolphins, you will be traveling to L’ile aux Benitiers (Benitiers Island).
