About the Catamaran Cruise in Mauritius - Full Day Trip to Bernaches Island with Private Option

Treat yourself to an exceptional day, which will be one of the most exciting moments of your vacation in Mauritius - an unforgettable cruise to Bernaches Island. Grab the whole squad or your entire family and head to Veranda Paul et Virginie Hotel & Spa in Grand Gaube for this unparalleled catamaran trip.

You can share the cruise with other guests or if your group is large enough in number, you can simply rent the whole catamaran with the private group offer available and cruise in exclusivity - with optional food & beverages for a supplement. 

Enjoy spending a day cruising through the crystal waters of the northern lagoon, breathtaking scenery all around, a fun snorkelling session, explore the local marine life, and savour a mouthwatering BBQ lunch. This cruise is all about making sure you have a full day of true pure fun and relaxation.

Your journey will start from the jetty of Veranda Paul et Virginie Hotel & Spa where you will embark on the sumptuous catamaran and sail to the North East Coast next to the mangroves. Bask in the warm sunlight and enjoy beautiful views of the lush green nature along the way.

You will eventually stop for a snorkelling break to dive into the clear and warm waters of the lagoon and discover the vivid marine life you've always heard about. Snorkelling equipment will be available on board so you can just relax and have fun.

After this rejuvenating swim, feast on a delicious on-board barbecue lunch featuring a variety of salads, grilled fish and chicken and garlic bread. To quench your thirst, gulp down soft drinks, water, fruit juices, rum, beer and wine. An alternative lunch will be served to vegetarian guests (upon request only).

Once lunchtime is over, you will stop at Bernaches Island to relax and take in the natural beauty surrounding you. Marvel at the stunning sea views, feel the salty breeze in your hair or go for a refreshing swim in the tantalising lagoon.

At around 14h30 you will board the catamaran and head back to the jetty with a heart full of memories that will last a lifetime…

About Bernaches Island

Bernaches Island is less than 2 acres. This incredible islet is also known as Pointe Bernache or as Ilot Bernaches and is part of Ile d'Ambre. Its white sandy beaches and scintillating turquoise water will tempt you for a refreshing swim.

You will likely spot a few casuarina trees and some species of grass and shrubs. There are one or two beautiful stretches of sandy beaches and the rest of the island's beaches are made up of rocks and boulders.
