What to expect

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.

    Das schlimmste war leider bereits der Transport zu dem Hafen. Der Fahrer war viel zu schnell und ist wahnsinnig riskant gefahren (überholt bei Gegenverkehr, zu schnell, holprig). Bereits als wir am Hafen ankamen, war meinem Mann und mir unglaublich übel, was sich super macht für eine Bootsfahrt. Die Bootsfahrt erschien mir sehr unorganisiert, der Service war gut, aber alles in einem war alles sehr gestresst. Die Ile aux Benitiers war überlaufen. Ganz klar keine Empfehlung!

    Keine Nachricht über verfrühte Abholung vom Hotel, Busfahrt zum Yachthafen dauerte mit 2 Stunden viel zu lange, Katamaran war dann nicht bereit - dadurch wieder Wartezeit, später zufolge der Aufenthalt auf der Insel viel zu kurz für Badezeit

    Das Essen war nicht sehr vielfältig, es gab viel Fleisch und Fisch und wenig vegetarisch. Die Gruppengröße war mit 30 Personen sehr groß und uns zu wild.
