Review of Mauritius Northern Isles catamaran cruise: snorkeling, beach time, BBQ lunch, drinks, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“What a great little Adventure. The Captain and the Crew were brilliant from the time we departed until when we returned. Professional, diligent, kind and caring from start to finish.

Lots of people on the island too, there were about 10 catamarans simultaneously. Plenty of space for all so no worries in that sense. I recommend you do this trip while on Mauritius.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 30 reviews · 7 hours · from $70

Review of the Grand Baie catamaran cruise to Flat Island, with snorkeling, BBQ lunch, drinks, island time, costs, and practical tips.

“Bonjour, les iles du nord sont toujours aussi belles, et l'attraction principale est l'incroyable diversité de poissons tropicaux. L'équipage du bateau très sympathique. Par contre, nous étions probablement plus de 50 personnes, et il n'y a qu'une quarantaine de places assises dans le cockpit du bateau, et seulement une dizaine de places pour manger sur une table. Sur la nourriture et les boissons rien à dire, par contre on mange sur ses genoux. Mais ce qui m'a le plus gêné, c'est la musique ''A FOND'' du matin jusqu'au soir !!! Je sais qu'on est à Maurice mais quand même... Donc, si vous êtes jeune, aimez faire la fête et la…”

“The driver picked us up on time and brought us to Tamarin Bay. There we had to wait for over 30 minutes for the boat, while other boats already left the Beach. We saw some dolphins but really swimming with them was difficult as there were too many other boats and there were Not many dolphins. Snorkeling at the reef was nice but Short. The boatride was Supposed to take 2 Hours. We were back at the Beach 90 minutes After we left. Then we waited for an Hour for someone to pick us up. The number we were given, Nobody answered. So the Tour was ok, but much shorter…”
