Description
**Note: This tour is private except for the swimming with wild dolphins portion** Start the day by heading to Tamarin Bay for your incredible dolphin encounter of about 2.5 hours. The skippers will accompany you in the water when it’s your turn to swim. Get stunning, open sea views of these amazing creatures before going to the popular dive and snorkel site of the 'Aquarium' (time permitting). Here, you can marvel at the beautiful coral gardens and tropical fish. Next, go to the dormant volcano of Trou aux Cerfs and get 360-degree panoramic views from the top. Take a stroll around the crater 600 meters above sea level, and get breathtaking views of the whole of Mauritius on clear days. Then, drive to Mare-aux-Vacoas to see the largest reservoir in Mauritius. Continue to the crater lake of Grand Bassin (Ganga Talao) considered sacred to the Hindu culture. Visit the temples and shrines and soak up the peace of your surroundings. See the 33-meter tall statue of Shiva (Mangal Mahadev) and get a panoramic view at the highest temple. Look for the resident monkeys and other wildlife while you are there. Next, take in the incredible views of the Black River Gorges and experience the largest national park of Mauritius. Home to numerous endemic flora and fauna, the 6,754-hectare site offers beautiful hikes of varying levels of difficulty. Drive through the park to Plaine des Champagnes, and stop to admire Alexandra Falls. If they are in season, join the locals and pick a few goyaves de chine (strawberry or lemon guavas) along the way. Finally, visit Chamarel to discover the geological miracle of the 7-coloured dunes. Get a view of Chamarel Falls to see the most famous waterfall on the island. Say hello to the giant tortoises before leaving!Includes
