Embark on our signature full-day experience for an unforgettable journey through the natural beauty of the South West and culture of Mauritius. Observe dolphins in their natural environment, snorkel among colourful tropical fish and admire the iconic Crystal Rock, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the majestic Le Morne Mountain. Upon arrival at Île aux Bénitiers, enjoy a warm Mauritian welcome in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with our local Sega musicians and dancers. Make yourself at home, settle comfortably under the marquee or in the sunshine, and enjoy a selection of refreshing drinks as you soak up the relaxed island atmosphere. Indulge in a generous island BBQ featuring locally caught fish, chicken, prawns and optional lobster, accompanied by a variety of fresh salads, garlic bread and traditional Creole sauce. Finish your meal with our delicious local rum-flambéed bananas and Fresh pineapple, while our musicians entertain you with a mix of Mauritian Sega and international favourites. After coffee, take time to relax, stroll along the beach or swim in the crystal-clear lagoon. Before heading back, join us for one final Sega dance and let yourself be carried away by the rhythm of the ravanne. ♪ ♫ ♬ Ala li la ♪ ♫ ♬
