The classic Mauritius day out, priced by the seat.
You share a comfortable catamaran with other travellers and spend a full day working the highlights of the west coast — dolphins, coral, and a beach barbecue in the shallows.
The morning opens at Tamarin Bay, where dolphins are often seen in the early light. You snorkel outside the reef at La Preneuse over coral gardens, then cruise south into the Le Morne lagoon to the sandbank at Ile aux Benitiers, where a seafood BBQ is grilled on board and eaten with your feet in the turquoise shallows.
This is the cruise we recommend for couples and solo travellers who want the full west-coast day without chartering a whole boat — great company, a proper lunch, and the island’s headline sights in one relaxed trip.
