What you can expect

Begin your private sea adventure with a warm Mauritian welcome from your skipper at Flic en Flac. After a short safety briefing, you will board your private speedboat and glide across the calm turquoise waters of the island’s west coast. This region is known for its rich marine life, gentle lagoon, and magnificent views of Le Morne Mountain.

Your first stop is the area where wild dolphins are often found in their natural environment. Watching them swim freely is one of the most special experiences in Mauritius. With guidance from your skipper, you may have the opportunity to swim near the dolphins while maintaining a respectful distance so they remain calm and undisturbed. Every encounter is unique and completely natural.

The journey continues towards a beautiful coral garden near La Preneuse. With a bit of luck, you may spot sea turtles feeding quietly among the corals or gliding gracefully through the lagoon. It is an unforgettable snorkelling experience surrounded by vibrant underwater life.

The adventure then takes you towards the famous Crystal Rock, a striking coral formation standing in the lagoon with Le Morne Brabant in the background. The scenery here is breathtaking and perfect for photos. You can swim, snorkel, or simply relax on the boat while enjoying the beauty of the turquoise lagoon.

After exploring the marine world, you will cruise to Île aux Bénitiers, a peaceful tropical island lined with palm trees and soft white sand. While you unwind, the crew will prepare a traditional Mauritian barbecue lunch. The meal usually includes grilled chicken, fish, sausages, garlic bread, salad, and banana flambée for dessert. Drinks such as water, soft drinks, beer, and local rum are served to keep you refreshed.

As you enjoy your lunch, you will feel the calm rhythm of island life. Listen to music, chat with your crew, or take a walk along the beach where local artisans sell handmade souvenirs. The lagoon here is shallow and perfect for a relaxing swim before heading back.

In the afternoon, your skipper will guide you back along the coast, giving you one last chance to admire the beauty of Mauritius. The sunlight glimmers on the lagoon, and Le Morne Mountain provides a stunning backdrop as the day ends.

This private tour is created for comfort, flexibility, and authentic Mauritian charm. Whether you are travelling as a couple, a family, or a small group of friends, it offers the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and island hospitality. You will return to shore with lasting memories of dolphins, coral gardens, sea turtles, and the warm spirit of Mauritius.
