Tour Options
Itinerary
Sail towards the south east and enjoy the view of the mountain range and the crystal clear water.
Visit the waterfalls and see the monkeys & birds
Stop over at Fond blanc or Eau bleu for snorkelling. Out in the lagoon, immerse yourself in the crystal clear waters and snorkel among patches of staghorn coral, populated by minuscule fish and more odd-looking species, such as the elongated trumpet fish and the stunning coachmen, with its white dorsal fin. Swim under the watchful eye of the Océane Crew, who will equip you with a lifejacket or a lifebuoy if you should be uncomfortable in the water. Back on board, the barbecue grill gets going as lunch will be served shortly... and what a great lunch that is: fresh fish and chicken grilled to perfection and served with a selection of salads and a side of garlic bread. The scrumptious menu, attentive service of the crew and incomparable view gives a newfound meaning to the term paradise holiday.
Visit the island, relax and enjoy a cup of coffee.

A huge thank you to the amazing crew—Miguel, Donovan, and Noah—for their outstanding hospitality, professionalism, and positive energy throughout the trip. We were lucky enough to see dolphins in their natural habitat, visit the beautiful Monkey Island, enjoy fantastic snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and finish the day with delicious food. Every part of the experience was well organized, relaxing, and truly memorable. Thank you, Miguel, Donovan, and Noah, for making this sea adventure so special. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Mauritius—you won’t be disappointed!

The activity is a bit above others Financially companies. But ultimately it is well worth it. The quality of the service is there. The crew was incredibly kind. I recommend it!

C'est exactement ce que nous visons à offrir. Merci pour votre recommandation, au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau ! Cordialement, Jean-Paul
Great crew with Alain, good mood on the agenda and delicious barbecue with the sauce of love. We recommend it, the adventure is worth the detour!
Chère Madame, Merci beaucoup votre retour; nous avons été ravis de vous accueillir à bord de notre catamaran Océane 2 et le capitaine Alain & crew. Bonne continuation. Cordialement, Jean-Paul
Our experience was amazing!! The team of Oceane is incredible!
Good Day, Thank you so much for your kind words. We were glad to have you on board our catamaran. Best Regards, Jean-Paul
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely loved our catamaran trip with Oceane!Easily one of the best organized excursions we experienced. The crew were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to accommodate a great vegetarian BBQ. They took us to some fantastic snorkeling spots, and the snorkeling gear and fins were impressively clean and well maintained. Communication with Bethanie was spot on from start to finish. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and would highly recommend it. The only thing that could make it even more fun would be having a slightly larger group on board. A memorable day all around!
Good day, Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We're thrilled the crew went the extra mile with the vegetarian BBQ, the snorkelling spots and gear impressed you, and Bethanie's communication was spot on throughout. We'll pass along your kind words to the team — and note your feedback on group size too. Thanks for such a memorable recommendation! Best Regards, Jean-Paul
I joined the catamaran cruise twice during my stay in Mauritius because I enjoyed it so much the first time. The crew was incredibly friendly, welcoming and professional. The atmosphere on board was relaxed, the music was great, the food was delicious and the whole day was perfectly organized. What I appreciated most was how comfortable and included everyone made me feel. I chose not to go swimming, and the crew was very understanding and never made me feel awkward about it. This was honestly one of the highlights of my trip to Mauritius, and I would highly recommend Oceane Cruises to anyone looking for a memorable day at sea. Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful experience!
Good day, Thank you so much for this beautiful review — and for joining us twice! We're so glad the crew's warmth made you feel comfortable and included throughout, whether swimming or not, and that the food, music, and organisation added up to one of the highlights of your Mauritius trip. Thank you for choosing Oceane Cruises again and again! Best Regards, Jean-Paul
Making the booking was easy and quick. Quick response via Whatsapp. Pick up from the hotel jetty and warm welcome from the crew. Drinks were offered and they gave information about the sights. First the waterfall, then the reef with swimming and snorkeling followed by a great lunch with fresh fish, chicken, salads, etc. Generous offerings and tasted well. Lovely sail to the Ile de Cerfs for a stop of 1.5 hrs before heading back. We had a fun day out and can recommend Oceane for sure!
Dear Ritchy, Thank you for your kind words & apologies for the lateness in the review reply though, my bad! :D It was a real pleasure to have you on board & experience our EAST coast. Thank you for your recommendation & take care. Best Regards, Jean-Paul
The only negative point is the stop at the island where there are several beach shops that charge the highest prices on the island, considering that tourists are foolish, but that is not due to the cruise, although they could perhaps influence them.
Good day, Thank you so much for your feedback! Île aux Cerfs is indeed one of the stops on our excursion, but unfortunately we have no control over the independent beach vendors there or their pricing. We understand your frustration and will pass this along, as we do care about our guests' overall experience even beyond our direct control. Thanks again for sailing with us! Best Regards, Jean-Paul
We had an excellent day with the crew of Oceane. Everything was smooth, fun and worth repeating.
Hello, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you had such a great day with the Océane crew — smooth, fun, and memorable is exactly what we aim for. We'd love to welcome you back aboard again soon! Kind Regards, Jean-Paul
Too touristy. The waterfall lacks real interest. Île aux Cerfs is not exceptional, and the beach was dirty and not allowed for swimming due to sea urchins, but only in a small closed lagoon between the two islands. Only the snorkeling was too short, and the barbecue on the catamaran was very good in the open sea. 21 people on a large catamaran plus the crew, It works well, but I would advise avoiding beyond that.
Bonjour, Merci beaucoup pour votre retour. Nous sommes ravis que le snorkeling et le barbecue en mer vous aient plu. La propreté de la plage et les oursins ne dépendent hélas pas de nous. Votre expérience est précieuse, meme si elle reste isolée : plus de 90% de nos clients repartent enchantés de cette sortie. Merci d'avoir navigué avec nous! Cordialement, Jean-Paul
