The 10 Evening Experiences in Mauritius That Earn Their Price

1.Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Food, Drinks & DJ

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 28 reviews · 4h 30m · from $80Our pick

Spend five hours sailing from Grand Baie along Mauritius’s north coast. Watch the sunset from a spacious catamaran, enjoy local snacks, unlimited drinks, dinner with vegetarian options, and music from a live DJ. Bring a light jacket, and allow extra patience if boarding runs late.

“Would not recommend for English speakers, couldn’t communicate with the staff and the music was all French. Booking says to arrive at 1650 we were waiting for an hour before getting transported to the boat with little to no indication from staff where we should be or when we’d get moving. Very poorly organised and overall not enjoyable for us.”
