Can Children Swim with Wild Dolphins in Mauritius?

Mauritius is a great family destination, with activities for all age levels. It’s no wonder more and more families are choosing to vacation here. So, you’d like to swim with the wild dolphins in Mauritius, but are wondering if your children can come along?

 

The short answer is yes! There are no age restrictions for swimming with the wild dolphins. Life jackets are provided, and as long as your children are comfortable being in the water, they’ll likely love the experience. Swimming with wild dolphins is a safe activity, and every operator must abide by strict safety regulations put in place by the government of Mauritius. In some cases, children prefer to watch from the boat, and not get in the water with the dolphins, and this is perfectly fine as well!

We’ve hosted a plethora of children, with a variety of swimming abilities (and many who can’t swim at all). At the end of the day, it comes down to their comfort level being in the water. You’ll be able to go in the water with your child, and the boat skippers will be able to help as well. Swimming with Wild Dolphins in Mauritius is truly an activity for the entire family!
