What Dolphins Can You See Near Flic en Flac?
Just off the coast of Flic en Flac, especially in the waters between the mainland and Île aux Bénitiers, you can encounter two main species of wild dolphins:
- Spinner Dolphins – Famous for their joyful spins and group acrobatics.
- Bottlenose Dolphins – Friendly, intelligent, and often curious about visitors.
Because these dolphins are free in the wild, every encounter is genuine, respectful, and deeply moving.
