What To Expect
Tamarin Bay
Our first stop: Tamarin Bay. Keep an eye out for pods of spinner or bottlenose dolphins that stay in our western coastline waters. If you are lucky, they might be in sight, just for you to admire these beloved mammals’ acrobatics that could be the highlight of your tropical holiday.
Black River
The boat then heads to Black River, all sails hoisted. In the lagoon, a patch reef about two meters deep, harbors colorful fishes and small crustaceans. Get into your snorkeling gear and chase after butterfly fish or tease passing trumpet fish while admiring the coral outcrops spread on the white sand. Taste the saltiness of the water as you swim under the vigilant and trained eye of the crew, ready to intervene should anyone need any help.
What‘s Included
Snorkeling fins will be disinfected and provided for free onboard
A variety of alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks
BBQ Fish & Chicken, Grilled eggplants & garlic bread, pasta salad, rice salad and green salad, local seasonal fruits

5.00Superb day, the crew and the organization at the top, a company that knows how to do tourism respecting the living (dolphins) and the environment (for meals, returnable glass bottled drinks, reusable cup for children) everything is organized so that the customer has a pleasant and safe time. I recommend.
A total change of scenery!

5.00It was a great day, a day like you want to live it often. The team was very careful with us without "invading". I'm 74 years old and it's still in my memory. The Catamaran a comfortable boat, a very good meal at noon, a small snack and enough to drink. I also appreciated that the team told us where the Dolphins were, but with a correct distance and no one jumped into the water to swim with these animals. I appreciate very much that this company does not engage in this kind of fun. The sun was beautiful, I could start again tomorrow. Don't hesitate a minute!
We did this cruise last...

5.00An amazing and truly one in a lifetime experience with the Oceanne cruise team! I did the West Coast shared boat tour. We saw dolphins, the clearest waters ever and an island. The crew onboard were truly fantastic, constantly topping up drinks and even catered to my gluten free dietary needs! Due to traffic we ran 30 mins late and were worried we would miss the tour, Oceane were fantastic and let us join the tour later! Would truly recommend this company to anyone.
Fun-filled and fabulous!

4.00Beautiful catamaran trip with a pleasant and attentive crew. Group reduced to 16 people including 12 French which contributed to a very nice day (actual outing: 09:30 - 15:15). Downside: we did not appreciate the vision part of dolphins because too many boats with internal combustion engines mixed with paddles, all too close to animals with the feeling of a fleet that hunts and hunts animals close in a movement of incessant rotations. Reunion Island's observation practice is much more respectful of the animal world and (my opinion) should be replicated in Mauritius. The drinks are very good with softs and punch and the meal was very good with chicken and BBQ fish. What to do
Great experience
