A private sunset cruise in Le Morne lagoon and an evening with dinner on Île aux Bénitiers have different programmes and price structures. The first is a two-and-a-half-hour boat outing. The second continues with a bonfire and barbecue dinner, which is compulsory and charged separately from the boat. Andeor offers these experiences through its partner. Decide whether you want an evening afloat or a longer programme with an island meal before comparing prices.

FAQ
Is dinner optional on the Bénitiers evening?
No. Dinner is compulsory for that programme and charged separately per adult and child on top of the boat price.
Are hotel transfers included?
No. Both compared offers exclude hotel transport. Andeor can arrange a separate transfer for the confirmed schedule.
Does every sunset boat trip include a meal?
No. The shorter lagoon cruise includes the listed drinks, while the island programme has a separately charged compulsory dinner.
The private sunset cruise in Le Morne lagoon combines a snorkelling stop, drinks aboard and evening light near Crystal Rock. The private boat, crew, snorkelling equipment, Ti Punch, beer and soft drinks are included. Its published duration is two hours and thirty minutes. A GoPro photo session and a bottle of Champagne are optional extras. Choose this format when you want the cruise itself, followed by your own arrangements for dinner on land.
An evening that continues on Bénitiers Island
The sunset outing with Bénitiers dinner also begins with lagoon snorkelling and a passage towards Crystal Rock. It then continues to the island for a bonfire and barbecue. Dinner is part of this programme and cannot simply be left out of the budget. The catalogue checked on 26 October 2026 lists a separate dinner charge of €100 per adult and €80 per child, in addition to the boat rate. The accepted quote establishes your complete booking total.
Build the complete price for your party
Start with the boat price for the correct date and group, add any extra-passenger charges, then include the compulsory dinner for the island programme. Add requested extras and land transport afterwards. Lobster and Champagne upgrades are separate from the required dinner. Both experiences exclude hotel transfers. A lower starting boat price therefore does not prove a cheaper evening for your family. Give Andeor the ages of all children and dietary requirements so the proposal reflects the actual party.
Allow for seasonal departure times
The lagoon cruise requests 16:30 in summer and 15:30 in winter. The dinner programme requests 16:00 in summer or 15:00 in winter. The partner confirms which time applies to your date. The captain can adapt stops and their order to weather, sea conditions and tides. Particular sunset colours are not guaranteed.

Arrange the return around the chosen evening
Do not use the shorter cruise’s duration to plan the end of the dinner programme. Agree the return arrangements for your actual booking before arranging another commitment. Andeor can organise a separate hotel transfer through Seke. If the main purpose is a photographed celebration, our lagoon photoshoot guide explains a different service. A camera option on a cruise is not automatically the same package as a dedicated photography session.
