Catamaran cruise: dolphin watching, barbecue and drinks

La Gaulette · Black River

AI-generated image

A catamaran cruise pairing dolphin watching with a barbecue and drinks. Dolphins are mostly seen off the west coast of Mauritius, where two species occur, the bottlenose and the spinner dolphin, often travelling in pods of around twenty. They are wild animals, and no outing can command their presence. La Gaulette, on the south-west coast, is one of the villages from which boats cross to Île aux Bénitiers.

Highlights

  • Dolphin watching from a catamaran
  • A barbecue
  • Drinks included

Good to know

  • Dolphin watching is regulated in Mauritius: it is done with a licensed provider, and boats approach the animals from the side, at no-wake speed.
  • Dolphins are not to be touched or fed, and no noise is made to attract them.
