Mauritius already looks like you're in paradise, this trip just adds to it. Aboard a swish catamaran, you'll discover the island's blue lagoons, thick jungle and powder-white beaches. Along the way, you'll enjoy lunch on board and have plenty of time to swim, snorkel or top up your tan.

Casting off from port, you'll set sail down the east coast of Mauritius. This patch of Indian Ocean once played host to historic naval battles between 18th Century France and England. Nowadays, it's a treasure-trove of Insta-worthy snaps. Grab your camera as you cruise past backdrops of mountains, lagoons and hidden coves.

Then, you'll tuck into a barbecue lunch before heading to Ile-aux Cerfs – translated in English as Deer Island. The deer disappeared some hundred years ago but you'll still find some of the best and most secluded beaches in Mauritius where you've free time to swim, snorkel or just spread out your towel and relax on the sand.

Wonderful day on the catamaran seeing a little more of this beautiful island of Mauritius Crew were amazing and it was like having our own tour guide BBQ on board was delicious Recommend to anyone Be aware that you have to be taken from the jetty on a smaller tender to get to the catamaran , so there will be some climbing in and off the boat Snorkelling was fab too, seem sting rays and lots of colourful fish Well worth the trip for the experience

I thought the whole day wonderful, very attentive crew super friendly and delicious food and drink . Nothing was too much trouble. Very relaxing and beautiful.

The whole experience from start to finish was excellent the crew were so helpful and knowledgeable the trip was very relaxing I am not great on boats but I felt safe at all times a really great day

Our catamaran cruise was amazing, the crew were brilliant and kept us well entertained, well fed and the drinks just kept coming. Transfer to the boat was brilliant, our driver was very knowledgeable about the island and stopped a few times on the way back for some photo opportunities. Cant thank him enough.

Brilliant experience and fantastic value for money. Drinks always full and the food was really good. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Started off with a visit to the waterfall where we saw monkeys, then headed to the reef for snorkelling where we saw dolphins on route. After snorkelling we had a bbq lunch of fresh fish & chicken. Then headed to the beautiful lle aux cerfs and explored for 1.5 hours. Highly recommended

There are some cheaper operators but impossible to to provide a direct comparison unless had sailed with them too. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, smaller groups than on some of other catamarans. Snorkelling gear available-brilliant getting close to the marine life.
