At a pre confirmed destination and time you will be met by the skippers of Océane.

After a safety briefing you are invited to step on board for a day’s (or half a day’s) sailing on the ocean.

At the helm of your boat, your skipper together with his crew, will do their utmost to give you an exclusive and privileged trip. Following your wishes, they will adapt a personalised programme to find the gems of the Mauritian lagoon (as selected):

– Ile aux Cerfs
– Ile aux Flamants
– The Grand River South East Waterfall
– The dolphins of Tamarin Bay
– Ile aux Bénitiers
– The Crystal Rock
– On request, you can stop, for a swim, a BBQ or simply for some sunbathing!

At the end of the day the boat heads back to the departure point, bringing an end to your unforgettable day out at sea.

For your private outings (on a catamaran, speedboat or pontoon boat), you can also choose your itinerary among the existing Océane excursions that will be organised for you on exclusivity.

– Our Eco-tour intended for nature lovers, including a visit to Île aux Aigrettes.
– An exclusive yoga session on the deck of the catamaran at sunrise or at sunset followed by a healthy breakfast or a cocktail diner.
– Océane offers you a choice of stimulating sports activities to complement your boat trip.

From kayaking to snorkelling to stand up paddle, it is up to you to choose the activity that will spice up your already busy excursion in the heart of the Mauritian lagoon.

Diving

Combined with your boat outing in exclusivity (catamaran, speedboat or pontoon boat), Océane gives you the choice to discover amazing diving sites. Indeed, thanks to its geographical location in the south of the Indian Ocean, our island benefits from a climate and an environment favorable to diving sites.

These offer incredible marine biodiversity. The lagoons of the East and West coast of Mauritius are of incomparable beauty and its many passes attract a multitude of species. Dive and admire the most captivating sites of the region with one of our partners – an experimented diving instructor- and explore the Aquarium, japanese garden, the castle, Sea Fan forest, long cliff and sea fan valley.

Kayak

Océane offers memorable moments in kayaks through the mangroves around Ilot Mangénie or Ile aux Bénitiers. Navigate peacefully on the surface, your senses awakened: the lapping of the waves and the sun on your face, in the middle sparkling colors of the Indian Ocean…. Paddle up Grande Rivière
Sud Est to the waterfall in the heart of lush vegetation (East Coast) or from Crystal Rock towards Ile Aux Benitiers (West Coast). A simple activity, at the heart of this little piece of paradise.

Stand up paddle

The lagoon of Trou D’eau Douce offers ideal conditions to start stand up paddle. In the calm waters near Ile Aux Cerfs, pull yourself up on the
boards provided by the crew and float on the translucent lagoon in the middle of the corals where many small colourful fish nest. You can also venture on the inner reef or on the weak swell of Ile aux Flamants. You will appreciate the feeling of being alone in the world on an idyllic beach… still under the vigilant eye of the crew of course. Océane also offers to combine your cruise with unique excursions linked to Mauritian cultural traditions and heritage including a visit to the saltpans on the west coast or traditional fishing in the company of a fisherman of Trou D’eau Douce in his Pirogue on the East coast.

The salt pans of Tamarin

Mauritius is rich in culture and customs and has lovely surprises in store.

Through Océane, history fans can enjoy the pleasures of the sea after learning about the salt pans of Tamarin. As from dawn, you can observe the salt harvesters with their gloves and boots brushing the salt and shaping the salt pyramids.

Back to the present, for a spot of snorkelling to play with lionfish or trumpet-fish then on to the famous ‘Crystal’ rock, a huge giant clam shaped coral, rising out of the turquoise lagoon. After a BBQ lunch served at anchor, a tender boat is there for those who would like to go on île aux Bénitiers.

“Golette” fishing

Another fun cultural experience…. discover the secrets of “golette” fishing (with a bamboo rod) on the East coast with the local fishermen of Trou d’Eau Douce. Then back onto your catamaran for some well-deserved relaxation including a visit to île aux Cerfs. Would it be your catch on the menu?
