Activity description
Sail the turquoise lagoon of Le Morne and see the dolphins in Mauritius on a catamaran cruise from Rivière Noire!
Aboard the catamaran O'Plézir, one of the largest on the west coast of Mauritius, the BlackRiver Charters crew awaits you for a 6-hour cruise departing from Rivière Noire. Equipped with everything you need for your comfort on board (trampolines, seats, awning, toilets, etc.), the boat will enable you to spend pleasant moments with your family, friends or as a couple while sailing off Tamarin and Flic-en-Flac, as well as in the large lagoon in the south-west of Mauritius, at the foot of Le Morne Brabant.
This catamaran cruise from Rivière Noire will first take you out to sea to see the dolphins. They are very common on this side of the island, so you will have a great chance of seeing them! You will take advantage of this time to take a snorkelling break in the sea, followed a little later by another swim stop in Le Morne lagoon where you will visit the Ile aux Bénitiers and admire the curious Crystal Rock. This will be followed by lunch on board the catamaran, with a barbecue and cold drinks, which you will enjoy while taking in the breathtaking view of the west coast of Mauritius.
In the company of a crew dedicated to your comfort throughout the escapade, you will enjoy an unforgettable catamaran cruise in Mauritius!
