Île aux Bénitiers Catamaran Cruise
From the comfort of a luxurious 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.
