    Covid-19 Update

    Due to health and safety regulations, this itinerary may change. See Know before you go for the latest updates.

    Step aboard the catamaran and look up at the Black River mountain range and the mythical Morne Mountain, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the calm blue waters of the West, complete relaxation awaits.  Depart from The Morne Anglers Club at 9:15 AM and head to Tamarin Bay. Here, you can try to spot the dolphins. Then, take a leisurely sail in direction of Crystal Rock and stop on the way for some snorkeling and swimming next to the coral reef. Once you arrive at Crystal Rock, you may have another swim while the crew is preparing a delicious BBQ. After lunch, you will be able to spend 40 minutes discovering Ilot Benitier. There is a tender boat at your disposal to take you to the island. Sail back to the Black River and arrive at approximately 3:30 PM.

      It is indeed one of the best cruises I have been to in my life. How 6 hours went so fast we didnt even get to know. The ship crew was so friendly abd the barbeque lunch was beyond delicious. The dolphin spotting activity was beautiful and complemented by a wonderful snorkelling experience. Would love to go again.

      We had a great tour that went exactly as described. The crew was great - attentive, friendly and eager to give everyone a great time. Food and drinks were tasty and sufficient. The time was well allocated so that one could snorkel in peace and then explore the islands. Overall, an absolute recommendation!

      Well organized, procedure explained, whole crew super nice and motivated! Enough choice of drinks, average lunch. Stay on the island too short because only time at souvenir stands (take money) is possible and not for swimming in a quieter corner. Snorkeling should have taken longer BUT despite everything, it was a cool, fun and exciting day !! ... and we saw dolphins :) Despite 23 guests on the catamaran no tight spaces.
