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.
