On Tour in Paradise – Enjoy a Boat Trip in Mauritius
Mauritius offers unforgettable experiences both on land and on water. In the south, you'll discover Chamarel with its famous Seven Coloured Earth and stunning waterfall, as well as the majestic Le Morne Brabant, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its breathtaking landscapes. Some of the most beautiful beaches in Mauritius are found in Le Morne, La Cambuse, and Ile aux Cerfs on the east coast, destinations that are included in a selection of our boat trips on the shores of Mauritius. From the sea, you can easily reach the northern islets or embark on a tour to Ile aux Cerfs in the east with our sister company The Friendly Dodo.
However, our focus lies on the west coast where we offer unique boat trips starting from Black River. From there, we take you by speedboat to exceptional spots like Le Morne Brabant, Ile aux Bénitiers, the famous Crystal Rock and its surrounding lagoon, the cliffs of La Falaise, the Albion Lighthouse, and even as far as Port Louis. With our boat excursions in Mauritius, nothing stands in the way of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Shortly after departure, guests enjoy panoramic views of Le Morne, Chamarel, and the Black River Gorges National Park. We cruise past picturesque beaches along the west coast. A visit to the National Park by land is also highly recommended, as is a trip to Blue Bay and Mauritius' oldest town, Mahébourg. From time to time, our tours even pass Port Louis, the capital, in search of dolphins. In short, you can expect trips of the highest quality and memories to last a lifetime.
Simply Breathtaking: Explore Mauritius with a Scenic Boat Cruise
Mauritius, a paradisiacal island in the Indian Ocean. So it’s no surprise that many activities are nautical or maritime. Boat excursions in Mauritius are among the best experiences guests can book. The panoramas of the sea are sometimes spectacular. Add to that the turquoise color of the lagoon and the fascinating underwater world full of colorful fish.
From small, beautiful islands in the north and east to the dolphins and whales in the west, there is something for everyone to discover through different boat trips across Mauritius.
Each Coastal Area has its own Specialties to Offer
In the north, you get that typical sailing feeling: a fresh breeze, gentle waves, and a view that stretches to the horizon. From there, trips lead to Coin de Mire, Îlot Gabriel, and Île Plate. These excursions often include a BBQ served on board or on one of the beautiful islands.
On the east coast, boat tours usually begin in Blue Bay with the renowned Five Islands Tour. During this unique trip, you stay inside the crystal-clear lagoon and visit Île aux Aigrettes, the Dalblair wreck, Île aux Fouquets, Île au Phare, and Île de la Passe. Afterward, the tour continues to the GRSE waterfall and the famous Île aux Cerfs, where a delicious BBQ awaits. Please note: the program may vary depending on the local provider. Whichever coast you choose to embark from, Mauritius offers countless natural wonders and activities on the water. Whether you're here to snorkel, relax, or explore: a full boat trip is the perfect way to experience the island.
At Time on Sea, our focus lies on the west coast, one of the most stunning coasts of Mauritius, with the impressive Black River Gorges National Park as a breathtaking backdrop. On our website, you will find a variety of unforgettable tours and boat cruises in Mauritius designed to make your experience truly special. From dolphins and whales to the iconic Crystal Rock, Île aux Bénitiers, and the majestic Le Morne mountain, there is so much to explore.
We are fortunate to encounter dolphins in these waters all year round, as well as sperm whales. From June to October, the ocean welcomes the majestic humpback whales. The famous Crystal Rock is located inside the lagoon and offers a popular photo stop with Le Morne mountain in the background. In the same lagoon, you will find Île aux Bénitiers, where we can organize a delicious BBQ lunch, creating a relaxed and authentic island-style experience.
Île aux Bénitiers is a picturesque, tranquil spot that serves as the backdrop for our delicious lunch. We emphasize quality, homemade food served directly on our speedboat, allowing you to enjoy more time on the water and experience the natural beauty of the lagoon. The island remains a lovely place for photography, especially from the air with our drone in the morning, or in the shallow waters for unique underwater shots.
While cruising inside the lagoon, it is not uncommon to encounter turtles or rays gliding through the crystal-clear waters. Île aux Bénitiers is particularly well-suited for families with children, who will surely enjoy exploring the sandy shores and spotting little treasures. We recommend focusing on our on board lunch experience, providing a more intimate and personalized way to explore the lagoon and its surroundings.
