SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS AT RIVIERE NOIR

PHENOMENAL!!!!!
it truly was, I would recommend it to everyone , locals as well as tourists.
The day began at 8.30 am at the shores of Riviere noire (Black River), where we met the skipper and crew of the catamaran who were to be our guides for the day.
we boarded at about 9.00 am , and were greeted with a light local breakfast (Baguette, butter cheese, jam , tea, coffee etc) and we set off.
In an obvious case of expectation limitation; the skipper pointed out to us that an appearance by the dolphins was not guaranteed may not be able to swim with them , but hopefully we will see at least one.
we thought what the hell.... It was a beautifully sunny day, we were on a boat .... On the open sea it wouldn't be the end of the world if we didn't see any dolphins...
but we were extremely fortunate, another catamaran had sighted a group of dolphins not far from us.
we darted towards where the other catamaran had indicated there may be dolphins... And WOW!!!!
A group of about 30 dolphins swimming and darting around us.
my first impression was that they were massive. Much larger than one would assume; having only seen them on TV.
so we stopped ship, and literally just dived in.
some of the tourists who were with us actually got to touch some of them..... But I found that impossible. They were unbelievably fast.
it was an amazing experience. So much so , that myself and Jen are seriously considering going again, this time with family, and friends. So if anyone's interested let me know. And as soon as we get about 25 or so. We'll go again.
