About the Private Catamaran Cruise in Mauritius - West Coast

As part of this cruise tour you will discover the scenic Tamarin bay, visit the famous Crystal rock which stands out in the middle of the lagoon, and stay on Benitiers Island on its beautiful sandy beaches. There is a high possibility of seeing dolphins as well. Altogether this trip has in store magnificent surprises for you!

The Journey Begins: The cruise starts at 09:00 am with a short pre-departure briefing by the boat’s captain. Then the catamaran will depart heading to Tamarin Bay area where you can encounter dolphins in their natural habitat. This is a unique chance to explore the spectacular lives of these magnificent marine mammals in their aquatic habitat. Your exclusive sea trip will be one you will always remember, with your own squad, making memories along the coast of this beautiful tropical paradise island. A light breakfast will be served as you begin your journey to make sure you have the energy to spend throughout this 6 hour long activity. You set the schedule and decide when to take a break and when to stop the boat for snorkeling.

Get your camera ready to capture snippets of the day: From Tamarin bay, the cruise will continue along the coral reefs. During the cruise, the catamaran will stop for breaks in some key locations, where you can enjoy a swim and some snorkeling in the sea, or enjoy the sun and drinks on board the catamaran. Then the catamaran will head to the beautiful Island of Benitiers. Before arriving at the Island you will visit the famous Crystal Rock and will have a spectacular view of the Rempart Mountain, the Black River mountain range, and of the magnificent Le Morne Mountain.

Snorkelling in the lagoon: The snorkeling is a great way to have a glimpse into the mesmerizing marine life and the underwater world of Mauritius. Your boat captain will show you the best places to snorkel. The coral reefs of Mauritius are inhabited by so many kinds of fish. You will witness the surreal world of life on the reefs, multicoloured fishes, anemones and corals. If you are lucky you might as well spot a turtle or even Nemo and Dory!

Your Mauritian Lunch: Lunch will be served in the lagoon of Benitiers Island. There you will indulge in a delicious BBQ lunch buffet with drinks consisting of fresh fish, chicken, rice, pasta salads, a selection of vegetable salads and a dessert. All the ingredients are locally sourced and the dishes are freshly prepared. After lunch you can enjoy some relaxation exploring the amazing lagoons and coral reefs of Benitiers Island.

The Mauritian hospitality onboard: During the cruise, the crew members will make your time enjoyable, they will tell you about local folklore, and play local Mauritian music which will lift the spirits of everyone on board. Following the visit to Benitiers Island, the catamaran will cruise back to Tamarin. Expected arrival time to Tamarin is 15:00 .
