if you want a fantastic day cruising the west coast in beautiful blue waters, watching dolphins, snorkeling, eating delicious food, sipping drinks, being hosted by a well experienced and fun crew, at a very reasonable price, this is the day tour you must book.
Brilliant experience

The boat was amazing as were the crew. There were lots of small boats that got far too close to the dolphins and chased them. This boat was very respectful and kept it's distance. As a result, our experience with the dolphins was far more exciting and organic. The snorkeling was also good and the food was delicious.

The catamaran tour on the west coast was really a nice tour. Our crew was super nice and helpful and attentive. The drinks and food were very good. The two swimming/snorkeling stops were also great as well as the dolphin watching. What I liked was that our captain kept his distance from the dolphins and did not harass them, which unfortunately other boats do. It was a bit of a pity that the Ile aux Benitiers was closed and this point was therefore omitted, which is why it had a 2. have made a snorkel stop.
Great day!

I booked for 9 people, and added 2 additional person two days later. I couldn't add on the site, so I called to add the the additional two and paid with my debit card that day. But on the day of cruise there in Mauritius, the Catamaran company said they never got the reservation for xtra people and I had to pay again! We almost couldn't get on the boat as it was full. It was very stressful and embarrassing.
Maybe the most fun day of my life!

Great trip with great crew, including drinks and a very tasty lunch, seeing some dolphins, snorkelling and visiting a small island. There is not much to do on the island and we didn’t bring cash, so we just went back to the catamaran, where we could jump in the water. All in all, we had an amazing time, the only critique I have is, that I thought we were supposed to leave at 9.15, however we ended up leaving at around 9.45 (we were excited and a bit impatient). But as soon as we left, that didn’t bother me anymore, the trip and the crew were amazing. Keep up the good work!
Best time ver on the catamaran cruise!!!
