“I chose this cruise because of it's good reviews compared to others and glad I did. Our family had a magic day on this boat.

3.Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Food, Drinks & DJ

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

Sail from Grand Baie along Mauritius’s north coast for five hours of sunset views, local snacks, unlimited drinks, dinner, and live DJ music. You’ll have room to relax, take photos, and dance, though departure organization and boat condition may vary.

“Would not recommend for English speakers, couldn’t communicate with the staff and the music was all French.

Very poorly organised and overall not enjoyable for us.”
