From the comfort of a catamaran, you'll glide along the vast blue lagoon on the west coast of Mauritius to Île aux Bénitiers. Sail past thick jungle and white beaches and the dolphin-rich Tamarin Bay while you relax on the nets. And there's also snorkelling and a barbecue lunch on deck to enjoy.

Leaving Le Morne Anglers' behind you, the Aquarelle will sail into the open seas with blue skies above you and shades of aquamarine and green shimmering from the water. In the horizon, you'll see Le Morne Brabant, a bulky peak that was once a refuge for runaway slaves. It's now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the national symbols of Mauritius.

Your captain will drop anchor, giving you the chance to dip your toes in the ocean. Snorkel off strangely shaped rocks and off Île aux Bénitiers, where tropical waters kiss coconut tree-fringed beaches. Then, it's back onto the catamaran for a barbecue lunch on board before returning to port.

Absolutely loved this excursion. The guides on the boat were brilliant and the lunch was delicious. Had so much fun on the trip

We were told we have to be picked up over 30 minutes earlier than original time (from 7:20 to 6:45), to get to the port and be told we shouldn’t be there that early and they weren’t due to set off for another 45 minutes. Very annoying! Aside from this, great experience. Onboard team amazing and the food, outstanding. First two stops were great. The “tour round crystal rock” was literally circling a small rock in the ocean. Seems as bit pointless. The perfect blue sea was the star of the show!

The captain and crew were amazing! The catamaran was very comfortable, food was delicious. I have mobility problems and they were very accommodating to me.

A bit more information as travelling along the cost about what and where it is

Staff members was above and behind !!!! Day was excellent strongly recommend for day out

We had an amazing time on the trip, despite the long transfer from hotel to marina, North to South of island, this was by far the best day of our holiday. From the moment we boarded we were welcomed by the crew with refreshments and given a safety brief. Once out of the marina we sailed and managed to see dolphins, snorkel and visit the beach, topped off by a very well prepared lunch. We thoroughly recommend this trip and thank the crew for a great day.
