Also, in case you will be interested below you will find more information on the recommended activities:
Catamaran Cruise:
What better way to enjoy your holiday than to have a full day of fun, relaxation, great food, non-stop drinks, cruising on a beautiful catamaran and spending the day on one of the amazing post-card like paradise beaches of Mauritius.
We offer quite a big selection of such cruises to several different destinations and with few different departure points.
You can choose a catamaran cruise departing from any of these departure points: ? Grand Baie
? Trou D’eau Douce
? Tamarin Bay
? Blue Bay
? And upon special request, also from additional locations
The selection of cruises is vast, and you are sure to find the right cruise for you according to your preferences. You can choose to go for shared basis cruise, and private cruise, a full day cruise, sunset cruise and even a 24 hours cruise.
You can find more information about our catamaran cruises on this page: http://mauritiusattractions.com/mauritius-catamaran-cruises-c-34.html
My personal recommendation is to choose the catamaran cruise to Gabriel Island. It is a great cruise which includes lunch, drinks throughout the day, and offer great value for money. You can find some more information about this cruise on this page: http://mauritiusattractions.com/catamaran-cruise-gabriel-island-lunch-drinks-p-122.html
Other recommended cruise (especially for family) is the exclusive – Private Catamaran Cruise to Coin de Mire Island & Flat Island. You will enjoy a relaxed personalized cruise experience with your family or partners cruising in an exclusive catamaran.
The catamaran is relatively smaller than the bigger commercial catamarans, making it ideal for groups of up to 6 people to enjoy a cruise in maximum comfort.

Mauritius is home to some of the world's most breathtaking coral reefs and marine life ever to be seen. Full with hundreds of bright-colored fish, the underwater world of Mauritius can be deemed a natural wonder. This is why I recommend you to choose at least one of the underwater activities. Because otherwise, it is a real shame, not to experience from close this beautiful marine world.
1. Underwater Sea Walk

To go on at least 1 sightseeing tour according to your preferences. My personal recommendation is to take a tour to the south of Mauritius (we offer many tours to the south), which is one of the most beautiful areas of Mauritius.
You can choose any tours from the big selection of tours on offer. These tours include key tourist sights, attractions and place of interest in the South, West, North or East of Mauritius.
