The 4 Best Sunset Cruises in Mauritius

1.Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Food, Drinks & DJ

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

Sail from Grand Bay along Mauritius’s north coast as the sun sets. You’ll get local snacks, unlimited beer, cocktails, soft drinks, water, dinner, and DJ music aboard a catamaran. The evening suits couples and groups, but bring a jacket and allow extra time for boarding and possible schedule changes.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 27 reviews · 2 hours

Spend two private hours aboard a catamaran from Pointe Jerome, sailing Mauritius’s largest lagoon toward either the Dalbair shipwreck or historic Grand Port.

“Très belle sortie en catamaran. Le personnel est très gentil et aux petits soins. Boissons et gâteaux apéritifs à volonté. Petit temps de baignade aux abords de l'île aux Aigrettes. Très beau moment.”
