Lovely day - A wonderful relaxed day with plenty of time for snorkling on a nice large catamaran. An extra bonus was that we could set sail, with turned off motors, for a good portion of the day!

Goldie Locks: Just Right - I scoured TripAdvisor for a Catamaran excursion and this one was just right (thus the Goldie Locks reference). Boat was <25 people; not too big but not too small and it never felt crowded. The time was about 7 hours; not too long but not too short. There were stops for 30 minutes of watching the dolphins that was close enough to see but far enough away to give them space. The dolphins was about 30 minutes so enough time to see them frolic but not so much time that monotony set in. The snorkeling was good for fish viewing; not the best but not the worst. The 45 minutes was perfect amount of time; again, not too long but not too short. The 15 minute pass by Bénitiers Rock was perfect to get all the photo op angles. The Stop At: Ile aux Benitiers, sure is a time for locals to sell their wears from stalls on the beach but it was the right amount of time at about 30/40 minutes.
Staff was friendly. Drinks were plentiful. Music was great (I want the playlist). Food was delicious. I can recommend without hesitation!

Excellent day - Very good communication upstream despite a last minute reservation, good organization, top team, recent catamaran in very good condition and not overcrowded so it was nice, we were even able to do some sailing since the conditions allowed it. In the morning the dolphins were at the rendezvous, too bad they are surrounded by so many boats at the same time but I appreciated the respect (we stay at a distance to observe, and no launching). Weather gloomy at first but big sun soon after, revealing the superb blue of the lagoon.
Barbecue on board very good and hearty,
an hour on the island of Beniniers which is enough, two breaks snorkeling with very good equipment (important to specify), good atmosphere in all simplicity, in short I had a very good day again thank you!

Top top top - We spent a great day on board the catamaran Oceane, the crew was very caring.
The general atmosphere is great, we enjoyed seeing dolphins / sperm whales and not racing on them with a speed boat...
Lunch was great too! We recommend! ❤️

Excellent boat trip, to recommend but watch out for the heat on Ile aux Benitiers - Excellent day on board with a very friendly team, for a sea ride in the southwest with classic stages and moments of snorkeling. Very good food and drinks galore. One small downside: the heat at noon on the island to the benign was stifling, spending an hour without a bottle of water is a mistake that many regretted. But even with water, an hour is a little long...

Great trip, with respect for the dolphins - We had a great trip, with good staff. The staff was respectful with the dolphins, and didn't go too close, as the speedboats do.
The trip to îles aux Bénitiers feels like a tourist trap. There's nothing special on this island, they just bring us there to buy things from the many merchants on the beach.
