MAHÉ · SEYCHELLES

Local by nature

The kind of knowledge you only earn on the water.

Dolphin Nemo is run by owners Aisha and Michael, who have been taking guests out from Mahé since 1985.

Their crew reads the weather, knows the practical rhythms of the islands and keeps the experience warm, relaxed and personal—from the first message to the ride home.

Reef-first adventure

Look closely. Leave lightly.
