Snorkelling with dolphins in Saint-Leu Bay, Réunion Island

Come and meet the dolphins and other cetaceans living in the Indian Ocean on a boat trip from Saint-Leu in La Réunion!

The Excelsus team invites you to join them at the port of Saint-Leu on the island of Réunion to set off out to sea and meet the dolphins and other cetaceans that can be seen in the area! Once you're aboard their boat, which accommodates a small group of people, you'll set off at low speed so as not to impact the animals with the noise of the engine and to allow a better visual search. Keep your eyes peeled not only to enjoy Réunion's coastal scenery, but also to spot any marine animals in the vicinity!

If you're lucky enough to see dolphins or whales, you'll need to do a surface observation phase to study their behaviour, as well as the feasibility of getting into the water while respecting Réunion's cetacean approach charter and animal welfare.

If you're able to get in the water, it's time to put on your flippers, mask and snorkel to live a waking dream and snorkel with the dolphins or whales! Your instructors will take the time to guide you gently and kindly, teaching you the right gestures for a respectful approach: no noise, hold hands, swim calmly... A peaceful immersion that allows you to observe these majestic creatures without ever disturbing them.

At the end of this snorkelling session, you will climb back on board the boat to return to the port of Saint-Leu. During the trip, which will take you close to the coast of Réunion Island, you may well come across turtles or sea birds, while enjoying a beautiful view of the beaches of Saint-Leu, its lagoon and the mountains in the centre of the island in the background. This activity is reserved for people who are comfortable in the sea, can swim about 100 metres and have already practised snorkelling with fins, mask, and snorkel.

Watching and swimming with dolphins in Réunion is an experience not to be missed if you can swim and are comfortable in the deep blue, so don't wait any longer to book this excursion departing from Saint-Leu!
