About the experience

Embark on an exceptional day trip off the coast of Grande Rivière Noire and discover the iconic treasures of Mauritius' west coast during a complete experience blending nature, relaxation, and local flavors.

We depart early in the morning to take advantage of the best sea conditions. We head towards areas where wild dolphins can be observed swimming freely in their natural habitat. A magical and respectful moment awaits, in generally calm seas bathed in the morning light.

After this special encounter, we continue to an ideal snorkeling spot. Equipped with a mask and snorkel, explore the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon and admire the tropical fish and colorful seabed.

The journey then continues towards one of Mauritius's iconic landmarks: the spectacular Crystal Rock, an impressive rock formation that seems to float on the turquoise waters, with the majestic Le Morne Brabant in the background. Enjoy a photo stop and a moment of relaxation in this unique setting.

The day continues with a stop at Bénitiers Island to enjoy a Mauritian barbecue in a friendly atmosphere, with your feet in the sand.
The barbecue is included for two people. Additional participants will incur a supplement.

Return is scheduled between 11:30 am and 12:30 pm, depending on the departure time.

A complete and authentic experience, ideal for discovering the best of Mauritius in a single outing: dolphins, snorkeling, iconic landscapes, and a barbecue on a paradise islet.

    Translated from French

    We booked Coty's boat for a day trip for seven people. As two passengers were stranded in Europe due to snow, we agreed with Coty (via WhatsApp, where he asked us to communicate) to reschedule the trip for the following day at a specific time. A few hours before the scheduled departure, Coty informed us that he had an emergency and couldn't run the trip at the planned time. During our exchanges, we learned that the emergency was actually a new booking he had accepted because it was for a loyal customer. This disrupted our trip, as it was the occasion for our family to get together. After much discussion, we finally rescheduled the trip for a date that was much less convenient for us. The trip itself went well, and I can confirm that Coty and his friend are friendly and attentive. The only downside is that all the boats go to the same spots, whether it's for swimming with dolphins, seeing turtles, or even snorkeling—what a lack of imagination! I wouldn't recommend this rental if you enjoy sailing alone and discovering quiet places! Thank you nonetheless for your efforts, especially the culinary ones. I'll reiterate that the cost of the service is high, but if you're staying in Mauritius, you know that tourists are easy targets, and we love to fleece them, albeit with a great deal of kindness!

    The skipper and his colleague are very helpful and go out of their way to help. Both are highly skilled, which is why we were able to see dolphins and whales. My husband and I were able to observe whales and dolphins with our snorkels. They cater to customer requests and even brought along a delicious homemade mojito. ? Thank you so much!!!

    Absolutely fantastic! We planned a half-day trip as we also had two young daughters with us, and everything went incredibly well! The boat is very safe, with a very practical sunshade. We were welcomed with delicious Mauritian pastries. Coty and his colleague really took the time to ensure we had a wonderful time swimming with dolphins, snorkeling, and visiting Crystal Rock. Perfect, I highly recommend it!

The waterfront grills were delicious. Thank you Coty, we will come back for the sperm whales!! :) Barbara and Gilles

    Superb day, infinitely more pleasant than piling up with dozens of tourists on large catamarans. The boat is great and the skipper Coty is very friendly and professional. Even if you don't fish, you can go there with your eyes closed. He will be able to put together a tailor-made program for you. Unbeatable price/pleasure ratio ?

    Thanks to Coti and his skypper Francky for this very, very beautiful day. They showed us the most beautiful places on this part of the island, accompanied by whales and dolphins. The meal on Ile aux Benitiers was succulent and very well prepared by Lemaitre barbecue Côti. My son and I thank them both warmly for this safe outing and with lots of good humor. We'll see you again with the rest of the family. Yvan
