3.La Preneuse: Dolphin Watching and Snorkeling Speedboat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 92 reviews · 2 hours · from $58

Meet your skipper by La Tour Martello at La Preneuse Public Beach for a two-hour speedboat trip in search of wild dolphins. Guides such as Feliciano, Andy, and Miguel are praised for their calm help and sharp spotting skills. You may swim near dolphins, then snorkel among reef fish, lionfish, stonefish, and octopus.

“This was a brilliant experience- well organised and gave us plenty of time to see dolphins both in water and from boat. The crew worked hard to ensure everyone was accommodated. The trip is the right amount of time too. We enjoyed this much more than a full day trip with another company. Also great communication as we had a long drive from other side of island and got stuck in road works. We were impressed with how they managed to work things so that we didn't miss out. Highly recommend!”

“🌟We had an amazing time on our snorkeling trip, thanks to our guide, Sumil. He was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful from start to finish. Before we even entered the ocean, he put in so much effort to help us get close to the turtles, which made the experience even more special. We were also provided with water, cool drinks, and cookies afterward, which was a thoughtful touch. To top it all off, Sumil surprised each of us with a very cool souvenir tote bag. It was such a kind gesture and made the day feel even more memorable. We absolutely loved our trip and would highly recommend this trip!”
