Catamaran on the west coast of Mauritius, the boat used for Flic en Flac excursions
West coast

Flic en Flac excursionsdolphins, lagoon and Le Morne

Flic en Flac sits on a long public beach with the west-coast boats a short ride away. Most guests here book the dolphins, then decide between a swim stop and a private boat.

Dolphin morning

The west-coast catamaran is the signature Flic en Flac day.

Bénitiers

A lagoon island stop on the same side of Mauritius.

Private boat

Same coast, your group, a quieter deck.

Le Morne nearby

A short road hop for the mountain and the southwest lagoon.

The place

The Flic en Flac excursions people repeat

Flic en Flac excursions are west-coast days. The shared catamaran looks for spinner dolphins in the morning, then anchors for a swim and lunch. A private charter does the same water with your own timing, which is the better fit for a family or a small group that does not want a full boat.

Île aux Bénitiers is the island stop on this coast. It is a sand island in the lagoon, calmer than an open-sea crossing, and it pairs well with the dolphin search when the sea is fair. Le Morne is close by road if you want the mountain on a different day, or as the finish of a private south tour.

Île aux Cerfs is not a local boat from Flic en Flac. It is an east-coast trip with a road transfer first. Book it as its own day, not as an add-on after a dolphin morning.

Questions we get asked

What are the best Flic en Flac excursions if we only have one sea day?

The west-coast dolphin catamaran. You stay on the coast where you are sleeping, and you still get a swim and lunch. Add Bénitiers if the booking includes the island stop.

Is the beach in Flic en Flac public?

Yes. The long beach in front of the town is public. Hotels higher up the coast have their own stretches, and the excursion boats leave from jetties a short transfer away, not from the middle of the public sand.

Can we do dolphins and a south tour on the same day?

We do not recommend it. The dolphin boats leave early and return after lunch. A private south tour needs its own morning. Keep them on separate dates.
