Ile aux Benitiers: Full-Day Catamaran Cruise

About the Activity

What to Expect

Embark with us for a catamaran trip on the west coast of Mauritius with dolphin watching, food & drinks. Our journey begins as we glide towards the serene waters of Tamarin Bay, where you will have the unique opportunity to watch playful dolphins in their natural habitat. The tranquillity of the bay provides the perfect setting to observe these magnificent creatures as they dance through the waves. Following the dolphin encounter, you will relax on our spacious catamaran, which accommodates up to 35 people, providing ample room to unwind and enjoy the ocean breeze.

Next, we will head towards the idyllic île aux Bénitiers, famed for its pristine white sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. This island is a haven for those seeking to relax and immerse themselves in nature's beauty. As you stroll along the beach, the stunning views of the lagoon will captivate you, and you can enjoy the local food and drinks offered onboard, including some delicacies prepared by our crew. From the island, you will also be able to admire the majestic Morne Brabant, a UNESCO World Heritage mountain that adds an awe-inspiring backdrop to your visit. You can also swim and snorkel to your heart's content.

Weather and tide permitting, our final highlight will be a close pass by the intriguing Crystal Rock, a natural wonder that rises dramatically from the sea. This unique formation is a photographer's dream, with its jagged edges and the sparkling water surrounding it. This tour is perfect for those who wish to indulge in a relaxing day, fully appreciating Mauritian culture, nature, and its breathtaking beauty.
