Île aux Benitiers is a picturesque islet off Mauritius's southwest coast, primarily accessible by guided catamaran or speedboat tours, making solo visits impractical. These full-day excursions typically last 6-8 hours and range from EUR 50-100+ per person, often including snorkeling, a stop at the iconic Crystal Rock, and a BBQ lunch. The best time to visit is during Mauritius's drier, cooler season from May to December to ensure calm seas and avoid cyclone season. It's an ideal spot for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying a relaxing island experience amidst stunning clear waters.
