Kayak to Crystal Rock & Île aux Bénitiers

2 hours and 30 minutes

Easy

A guided sea-kayak trip across the Le Morne lagoon to Crystal Rock and Île aux Bénitiers, before the boats arrive.

Kayak across the clear lagoon off the south-west coast to Île aux Bénitiers, with Le Morne Brabant behind you, and stop at Crystal Rock, the famous rock formation rising from the water.

Going early means you see the lagoon before the busy hours.
