The Blue Lagoon — a catamaran for dolphin watching in Djerba
The Blue Lagoon is a modern catamaran with a maximum capacity of 25 people, departing from the Djerba Menzel Hotel. Its twin hull guarantees exceptional stability — even passengers prone to seasickness enjoy the experience peacefully. The limited capacity of 25 people (with a minimum of 10 for departure) creates a far more intimate lounge atmosphere than the large tourist pirate boats.
The dolphins & swimming programme — 2 hours of adventure
Early morning departure at 08:30 (calmest waters, most active dolphins) or early afternoon at 13:30 (ideal for families with children). After the safety briefing, the Blue Lagoon sets sail towards the areas where dolphins are regularly spotted, which the skipper knows well. Once dolphins are sighted, the boat slows down for observation from the deck. Next comes the swimming break in a turquoise cove. Return to port with a peaceful sail.
Why a catamaran (and not a speedboat)?
The speedboat is faster but considerably more bumpy — the catamaran offers a stable platform, a flat deck for children, a proper shaded cabin and the possibility of sailing (silent, diesel-free) over certain sections. It's the premium family option in Djerba.
