Great! - We were more than satisfied with this release. The boat is very comfortable and safe. The local bilingual French-English crew, like almost all Mauritians, have always satisfied us and not taken us to the overcrowded spots. We met little dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, turtles and a multitude of fish. Many thanks to them. You want oysters and sea urchins... no problem they dive to pick them up for you and make you taste them arrived on the island. And I’m not talking yet about the meal on Île aux Bénitiers that was a treat for both the stomach and the eyes. All in a small corner of the island far away where we were alone or almost alone. In summary the service is 100% as described including for meals and drinks and the skipper and the accompanying person in the water are of a kindness and very professionalism. I recommend without problem.

Absolutely fantastic! - Wow wow wow! We swam with dolphins, saw flying fish and rays, snorkled over the coral with the tropical fish and had the most amazing seafood BBQ on a beautiful island. When we were snorkling, Emillio gathered oysters and sea urchins which they then prepared and served to us ... you won't get any fresher seafood! We had a fantatsic time and would recommend to anyone thinking of booking!

Just magic! - I wouldn't have enough of an adjective to value that experience. Team with little care who even take the time to stop on the return to show us turtles or rays in the lagoon. I highly recommend.

Magical moments with Lydia Boat – a dream day full of happiness - Our family celebrated two round birthdays in Mauritius. Our big highlight of these holidays was the trip with Lydia Boat on 01.10.2025. We were able to experience a wonderful day with many great impressions. The great luck was that we were able to admire a whale, many dolphins, a large water turtle and many colorful fish. Even the food on the island of Ile aux Bénitiers was sensational! We were very well looked after and nothing was missing. Thank you for this wonderful day that will be remembered for a long time.

An exceptional experience with Lydia boat - The day is PERFECT it is a big thank you to Lydia Boat and her crew. An experience made exceptional by the kindness of Navy and Millo. Navy shares his passion for his island and the seabed with pleasure. Arriving on Beniniers Island, we are set apart from the crowd with a breathtaking view of the bay. The meal is excellent. Navy adapts its program to live this day away from tourists in complete privacy. We recommend this 1000% Mauritius excursion with Lydia Boat.
