Can you Touch the Wild Dolphins in Mauritius?

As tempting as it may be, it is absolutely not recommended to tough the wild dolphins during a Mauritius dolphin encounter. 

 

Unlike dolphins in aquariums that are trained to interact with humans, the dolphins you will see in Mauritius are wild. That means that you will not be able to interact and swim with them in the same way that you would with a captive dolphin. However, this makes the experience even richer! 

 

Depending on your luck and swimming capabilities, you can get really close to the dolphins, or you can see them swimming at a distance while you are in the water. While it may not seem like a big deal to touch the dolphins, it’s important to remember that we are only spectators in the dolphins’ home. 

 

So, while it is often possible to get close enough to the dolphins to touch them, it is not recommended to do so. In fact, skippers typically brief guests regarding touching the dolphins before any Mauritius dolphin encounter.
