Mauritius: 5-Island Cataspeed Cruise with BBQ Lunch & Drinks｜Mauritius

Experience the beauty of Mauritius' east coast on a full-day guided island-hopping cruise departing from Trou d'Eau Douce (East coast).

Unlike a traditional sailing catamaran, this tour is operated aboard a motor-powered Cataspeed—a unique blend of a speedboat and a catamaran. Enjoy faster cruising, greater comfort, an onboard restroom, spacious inboard and outboard deck seating with canopy and more time to explore each destination.

Embarkation starts from the jetty at Trou d'Eau Douce at approximately 08:00, where the cataspeed starts its cruise through the turquoise lagoon towards some of Mauritius' most scenic islands and historical landmarks.
