5.00We had a wonderful dat during the trip. The very morning wheather was not perfect and we were told that the trip to the island was not possibile. We decided to go anyway and in the end the captain decided it was safe to go and we had a wonderful day. Also lunch was very tasty and Gabriel island is beautiful. Definitely recommended.

1.00We were extremely disappointed with this trip. Prior to booking, we specifically contacted the organiser to request photos of the catamaran so that we could make an informed decision. Our main considerations were the size of the vessel and the amount of shade available. Unfortunately, the catamaran we were placed on was completely different from the one shown in the photos provided. The boat was much smaller, had very limited shaded areas, and the bathroom facilities were not up to an acceptable standard. This felt misleading, as the decision to book was based on the images shared, which did not reflect the actual vessel used. For this reason, we would not recommend booking this experience as you’ll never know what boat you will be on.
wonderful day

5.00Catamaran cruise in Mauritius is a must for every tourist who loves the ocean and water. Blue Safari team was very professional and created a safe, pleasant and cheerful atmosphere! I went with my husband and even though the ocean was a bit rough and it was quite windy, they informed us that the captain will do the best for us to see the islands, but if it won’t be safe, then he would take us to some other place where we could also enjoy the beach and the BBQ. Fortunately, we saw the islands and afterwards we had an amazing and tasty BBQ, on the catamaran. The food was delicious and there were also plenty of soft drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. They briefed very carefully us before the cruise and we appreciated that safety was their first concern. While we waited to get on the boat, we had a beautiful corner with chairs and tables so everything was very comfortable and the attention to these details was amazing. Furthermore, if you know yourself with motion sickness, I recommend having some medicine with you. It will surely help a lot. We had some dietary supplements with ginger, mint, magnesium and B6 and it was perfect. We paid 130€ for both of us and the trip began at 09:00 and ended at around 16:00 in the afternoon. We recommend this from the bottom of our hearts!🤍
A perfect day
