Day 2 Thursday: Benitiers Lagoon –Mont Choisy (North Coast)

In the morning you will have the opportunity to swim with dolphins (offered for a supplement).Unlike other services that limit a swim with dolphins’ to shallow water encounters, we provide the unique opportunity to enter the dolphins’ natural environment and enjoy an encounter with the dolphins in the open sea. Dolphins are one of the most fantastic creatures that live in the ocean - a symbol of intelligence and grace.

After this delightful early adventure, you will get back to the catamaran for breakfast, before the catamaran sets sail to the lagoon of Mont Choisy.

Discover the lush vegetation and exceptional flora of the oldest botanical garden in Mauritius, whilst also learning more about the history and culture of sugarcane, that helped shape the identity and economy of the island.

After this excursion, the catamaran will sail further north, and depending on the meteorological conditions, will moor at the bottom of the Coin de Mire cliff or in the Merville lagoon for you to have a splendid snorkelling session and explore the exotic marine life of the Mauritian lagoon.

You will spend the night in the calm lagoon of Grand Baie – you will have the choice to get off the catamaran and enjoy the vibrant nightlife Grand Baie is known for or spend a quiet evening onboard.

About the Northern Islets of Mauritius:

About Coin de Mire

Coin de Mire, also called Gunner's Quoin, situated 8 km north of Mauritius, is well known by divers as one of the best diving sites of the north of Mauritius. At an average depth of 6 meters (depth ranges from 3-9 meters), with crystal clear water offering great visibility, the snorkeling conditions are ideal year-round.

The island is a nature reserve and as such it is not possible to go on the island. For those who enjoy bird watching, a number of native birds can be seen flying around the Coin de Mire or nesting in the cracks of the cliffs such as the famous Mauritius national bird - the 'pailles en queue. Coin de Mire’s highest point is at 142 meters.

Optional Excursions Package (at a supplement):

Day 2: Swimming with Dolphins

Dolphins live in pods of around 20 individuals or more and can be observed swimming casually from Tamarin (on the west coast of Mauritius) on their way to the deep sea off the coast of le Morne peninsula, early in the morning.

Explore the spectacular lives of dolphins in their natural aquatic habitat by immersing yourself in the adventure of a lifetime and swim with these magnificent marine mammals in crystal clear waters.

Swimming with dolphins is an incredibly moving experience which will not only bring you into contact with wonderful animals but will also allow you to admire the strikingly beautiful lagoon and unspoiled underwater landscapes.

Day 3: Visit of the Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens + L'Aventure du Sucre

Mauritius National Botanical Garden

The National Botanic Garden, formally known as Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanic Garden, is one of the most visited attractions in Mauritius.

The garden is located in the proximity of Port-Louis in the district of Pamplemousses and is home to an incredible variety of tropical plants - many of them being indigenous. Visit this garden and take a stroll down history lane. You will be swept to an era where the French occupied the island and you will witness the development of Mauritius from that time to what it is now, through the stories that the trees narrate.

Visit to the Sugar Museum and Factory of L'Aventure du Sucre

Mauritius wouldn’t be the same without its sweet secret: sugar! Here's your chance to visit L'Aventure du Sucre, a 19th-century sugar mill rising above sugar cane fields, awarded the Made in Moris label - highlighting Mauritian craftsmanship.

You’ll explore a 5000m² path and 10 interactive zones packed with history, flavour and enormous machinery. Videos and short films will also bring the chronicles of sugar to life. The tour ends at the Village Boutik, a 100% Mauritian brand featuring local sugars and high-quality rums from Maison New Grove—crafted by the island’s oldest distillery (200 years old). Don’t miss out on the tasting session while you're there!
