Enjoy the coastline on a leisurely Yacht Cruise
A catamaran or yacht cruise is another relaxed option to include in Mauritius tour packages, particularly for couples and families who enjoy time on the water. It lets you experience Mauritius from the water rather than only from its beaches. Sailing trips can include coastal views, lagoon stops and time on the water, while some cruises are planned around sunset. Popular sailing areas include Grand Baie, Black River and Ile aux Cerfs, with the exact route depending on the cruise chosen and weather conditions.
