Wild dolphins followed by a snorkelling stop
The first listing promises a captain-led search for wild dolphins, followed by snorkelling in clear water among other marine life. Its current description also offers swimming with wild dolphins. Book it for that combination of activities, while treating encounters with wild animals as dependent on conditions.
Both listings advertise a two-hour duration; compare €300 for this trip with €294.50 for the guided swimming encounter after checking the quote for the same party. The meeting point is G8W6+6W8 in Le Morne. Check the booking option to establish whether transport to and from your accommodation is included.

A private encounter with a guide in the water
This listing explicitly offers observing wild dolphins and, when possible, swimming alongside them with a guide in the water. It also describes the boat as private. That makes it worth considering if in-water guidance matters to you, while still leaving the encounter dependent on wild animals and conditions.
Confirm the timing before arranging onward plans: the booking header says two hours, the itinerary allocates about two hours and twenty minutes to the activity, and the description calls it a half-day offer. Meet at Le Morne public beach in front of Emba Filao Restaurant, next to LUX Le Morne. A mask, fins and snorkel are provided; bring your own towel. For either trip, check minimum ages, swimming requirements and any health restrictions on the booking page before paying.

Who should skip both
Solo travellers should compare the final private-booking quote with their budget before choosing either boat. For lunch, Île aux Bénitiers or a full day at sea, look for an itinerary that explicitly includes those plans; these listings advertise short dolphin outings. Anyone needing a guaranteed sighting should not book a wild-dolphin trip at all.
Our recommendation
Book the Wild Dolphin Watching & Swimming trip from €300 if you want the described dolphin search followed by a separate snorkelling stop. Choose the private guided swimming encounter from €294.50 if having a guide with you in the water matters more; confirm its timing and the total for your party.
