It is often up to you what you do on these types of excursions. In general, the boats are rented out on an hourly basis which is good if there are a few of you to share the bill! Although there is no definite route, in each region there are sights not to be missed. For example in the South West: The dolphins at Tamarin bay, the sand banks at Le Morne and Ile aux Benitiers. In the East: Ile aux Cerfs, the waterfalls of Grand Riviere Sud Est and the islands in the South East etc. It is possible to rent a boat with a skipper for half day or full day with a picnic on one of the islands. This is a great day out as it is personalised and exclusive to your group.
