Holidaymakers often enjoy lazing in the shade of the palm trees and the casuarinas.  Many also enjoy exploring the open seas. There are endless tour guides, who propose cruises and day outings aboard a catamaran or a yacht.  One can enjoy a tasty barbecue with banana flambée and rum...an opportunity to spend a convivial day at sea whilst discovering the numerous islets off the coast of Mauritius.

Many service providers offer catamaran trips in the north of the island, particularly those based in Grand Bay.
