Catamaran Cruise to Île aux Bénitiers

Cruise the South West coast on a 40-foot catamaran to see the dolphins of Tamarin Bay, Crystal Rock and the beaches of Île aux Bénitiers.

8 hours South West Mauritius Pick-up from your hotel or accommodation

Overview

The South West coast is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Mauritius, known for its wild nature and quiet beaches. This full-day cruise on a 40-foot catamaran takes you past the dolphins of Tamarin Bay to Crystal Rock and the sandy beaches of Île aux Bénitiers.

Your private driver picks you up from your hotel, takes you to the departure point and brings you back at the end of the day, so there's nothing to organise.
