Mauritius: Catamaran Cruise - Bernache Island & Mangroves

Begin your adventure at the Veranda Paul et Virginie Hotel Resort jetty in Grand Gaube, where you'll meet the crew at 9:45 am before boarding the catamaran. At 10:00 am, set sail along Mauritius' stunning northeast coastline, gliding over calm turquoise waters toward the lush natural sanctuary of Île d'Ambre. Along the way, take in peaceful views of mangroves, wildlife, and untouched coastal landscapes.

Your first stop offers a refreshing break for swimming and snorkelling in the crystal-clear lagoon near the mangroves. With the guidance of the experienced crew, explore the vibrant underwater life before relaxing in the serene mangrove environment, cocktail in hand. This quiet corner of the island delivers a rare sense of calm and connection to untouched nature.

Around noon, enjoy a flavoursome BBQ lunch served on board (see menu below), featuring grilled fish, chicken skewers, salads, garlic bread, and fresh fruit, with vegetarian options available. The tranquil open-sea setting creates the perfect atmosphere to recharge and appreciate the slow rhythm of island life.

From 1:00 pm, sail toward the pristine Bernaches Island, known for its soft sandy beaches and crystal-clear lagoon. Here you'll have free time to unwind, stroll along the coast, swim, snorkel, or simply relax under the warm Mauritian sun. Whether you choose to explore or unwind, Bernaches offers an idyllic setting to enjoy the beauty of the northeast.

As the afternoon draws to a close, the catamaran makes its peaceful return journey, arriving back at the Veranda Paul et Virginie jetty at around 4:00 pm. With sun-soaked memories, calm lagoon views, and a taste of authentic coastal Mauritius, this cruise offers a perfect blend of nature, relaxation, and discovery.
