Mauritius - Swim with Dolphins

Yes you read it right. We indeed swam with the dolphins, nearly 50 of them and that too in their natural habitat. What an unforgettable experience it was!

While in the deep sea, the boat skipper instructed us, jump immediately and look down. Too excited, we did that and whoa, something unimaginable happened.....

We could not spot a single dolphin in the water. We were dejected but just then we heard dolphin whistle under water and even before we realised what was happening, a herd of dolphins came from behind us. There were dolphins below us, dolphins above us and dolphins besides us. These beautiful creatures - adult and young swam all around us. Some came up so close as to be within touching distance. But try to touch them and they would dive into the deep.

Charming, elegant and playful they were least bothered by our presence and went on about their routine oblivious to our exhilaration and excitement. They are friendly, playful and even swam merrily besides us. They warmly welcomed us to their world. You will hear the Dolphin even before you see it.

Don’t support Dolphins in captivity, it is so inhumane. Go, see them/ Swim with them in their natural habitat - it is priceless!

Some moments last with us for a lifetime and this was definitely one of it.
