Mauritius · CRUISES & BOAT TOURS
Almost everything worth seeing here is offshore: sandbanks, reef passes, a waterfall you reach by river. These 15 boat days span catamarans, speedboats and glass bottoms, with what each costs and how long you are actually on the water.

Review of Lydia Boat Mauritius, a private dolphin and whale tour with snorkeling, Crystal Rock, seafood barbecue, drinks, and expert local guides.
“The tour was amazing. Navy & Rino went out of their way to make sure we saw whales & dolphins, and ensured our comfort and safety at all times. The seafood lunch they prepared was easily the best meal we had over our 2 weeks in Mauritius, and we will never forget the fresh grilled lobster we had. Easily one of the best Viator tours we have ever booked, we highly recommend this experience!”

Review of Blue Bay’s one-hour glass-bottom boat and snorkeling tour, with clear water, tropical fish, reef views, guides, value, and practical tips.
“Excellent experience. I’m not a strong swimmer at all and not very confident in water but this was so so good. I think people of all swimming capabilities can enjoy this. Waters are shallow(ish), clear water, plenty of fish, the clear bottom boat was very cool & the guide was encouraging and made me feel at ease. Calm sea too! You can see the fish at the shoreline on the beach! Our guide on the boat was so lovely too! Thank you for the incredible experience! Would 100% recommend.”

“The whole experience was just PERFECT! The views of the oceans and the Mauritius island from the ocean are STUNNING! To sail gently in a catamaran with turquoise blue waters and watch the beauty, not just of the seas but also the mountains, the greenery and the waterfalls are absolutely beautiful! The team is what makes the biggest difference. Not just an amazing barbecue lunch on board but also a constant supply of snacks and drinks, personally served to wherever you are lounging on the boat - priceless! Snorkel, swim, parasail or just relax on the boat - each can choose what works for them. The whole vibe with great…”

Sail from Grand Baie to Ilot Gabriel for snorkeling, island time, a BBQ lunch, drinks, and views of Coin de Mire.
“Fantastic trip which is unmissable if you like the open water and pristine beaches. Sailing away from Grand Baie into the open waters can be a little choppy but relatively mild. You sail to these fantastic islands through blue seas and we spotted dolphins swimming alongside even if only for a few seconds. The snorkelling on Illiot George is spectacular and the beaches paradise like. Final word must go to the crew of the Dawn which were fantastic - witty, helpful, friendly and keen to please. A nice party atmosphere the final 30 minutes of the boat ride to wake us up from the post-meal/post-sun slumber.”
