The engine roars, the bow lifts, the coast fades away: in a few minutes, the speedboat takes you where traditional tour boats don't go. Heading to southern Djerba, the stretch of sea between the island and Zarzis that dolphins frequent year-round. The skipper knows their habits: he cuts the throttle, scans the surface… and when a fin breaks the water just metres away, the whole boat holds its breath.
Then comes the reward: the paradise beaches. In 1 h 30, you set foot on the white sand of Borj El Kastil, at the island's tip, and on the wild island between Djerba and Zarzis — not a building, not an umbrella, just the blue. In 3 h, head to Hessi Jerbi and its long white sand beaches: crystal-clear water, shallow for dozens of metres, where you walk, float and play in peace. It's the favourite spot for families with children.
Want to see it all? The great south formula in 4 h 30 combines dolphin spotting, Borj El Kastil, the wild island and Hessi Jerbi, with long swimming breaks. A taste of the best of Djerba in half a day.
The boat is a semi-rigid, fast and stable: comfortable seats, life jackets for all ages, safety briefing before departure. Up to 8 passengers aboard for a friendly atmosphere — or the boat just for you with a private charter. You board directly from the water sports base of El Mouradi Djerba Menzel hotel, and we pick you up from your hotel in the tourist zone.
Swimsuit, towel, sunscreen: you don't need anything else. Book your slot online or via WhatsApp; morning departures, when the sea is calmest, are most sought after for dolphin spotting.
