What you can expect

  • Start your day with a warm welcome aboard a modern, spacious catamaran departing from Grand Baie. Settle in and relax as you glide across the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, enjoying panoramic views of Mauritius’ northern coastline. Throughout the journey, the experienced crew ensures your comfort and safety while offering refreshments and informative commentary along the way.

    Embark on a full-day (approximately 7-hour) catamaran cruise to three of the most beautiful islets in northern Mauritius: Gabriel Island, Flat Island, and Gunner’s Quoin. This tropical escape is ideal for nature lovers, snorkelling enthusiasts, and travellers seeking an authentic island experience beyond the mainland.

    Your first stop is Gabriel Island, a pristine and protected islet surrounded by a turquoise lagoon. Spend time swimming, relaxing on the white sandy beach, or snorkelling in shallow, crystal-clear waters with excellent visibility. The calm lagoon makes it an ideal spot for all swimming levels.

    The journey continues to Flat Island, the largest of the northern islets. Known for its wide-open landscapes and untamed atmosphere, Flat Island offers a different perspective of Mauritius’ natural beauty. Enjoy free time to swim, stroll along the shoreline, or admire the rugged coastal scenery, a favourite for photographers and explorers alike.

    Back on board, savour a freshly prepared lunch cooked by the crew. Enjoy a generous selection of grilled fish, chicken, chicken sausages, garlic bread, fresh salads, and flambéed bananas for dessert. A variety of drinks is included, such as soft drinks, beer, and local Mauritian rum.

    The catamaran will then cruise close to Gunner’s Quoin, a dramatic volcanic islet where landings are prohibited due to conservation efforts. Admire its steep cliffs and seabird colonies from the sea, offering a striking contrast to the sandy shores of the other islands.

    As you sail through open waters, keep an eye out for marine life. Dolphins, whales, rays, and sea turtles are sometimes spotted in this region. While sightings are not guaranteed, they add an exciting and unforgettable element to the experience when nature cooperates.
