Full description

Discover one of Mauritius most loved experiences on a beautiful speedboat trip along the west coast. Your morning begins with a dolphin encounter, where you can observe these incredible animals in their natural habitat. The crew will guide you respectfully and safely as you enjoy this unforgettable moment at sea.

After the dolphin experience, the boat cruises toward the famous Crystal Rock, a natural volcanic formation rising from the turquoise lagoon. This is the perfect spot for swimming, snorkeling or simply relaxing on the boat while admiring the stunning Le Morne mountain in the background. You will also have time to take photos or explore the clear waters around the rock.

Your adventure continues with a visit to Ile aux Bénitiers, a peaceful island known for its long white-sand beach and shallow lagoon. Here, you will enjoy a delicious Mauritian BBQ lunch prepared by the crew. Depending on your supplier, the menu typically includes grilled chicken or fish, salads, bread, and seasonal fruits. Soft drinks and water are available throughout the day.

After lunch, you will have free time to swim, walk on the beach, or relax under the sun. The lagoon around Ile aux Bénitiers is ideal for beginners and families thanks to its calm and shallow water. When the time comes, the speedboat will take you back to shore with beautiful views of the coastline.

This experience is perfect for couples, families, and anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of Mauritius in a fun and relaxing way.
