Review of Mauritius’s 5-hour sunset catamaran cruise, with open-bar drinks, local snacks, dinner, DJ music, views, value, and practical tips.

“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.”
