Full description

Explore Mauritius' 3 Northern Isles in just one day on this full-day catamaran cruise. Marvel at Mauritius' very own island getaways, government-declared nature reserves featuring pristine white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and beautiful coral gardens. Enjoy tea, coffee, and cake upon arrival at the catamaran Wind Dancer, then depart from Grand Baie Public Beach after the captain's briefing.

Cruise easily for approximately 1 hour on the way to the magical Flat Island. Visit the island before returning to the catamaran for a sumptuous BBQ lunch and drinks. After lunch, explore the beauty of Gabriel Island. Snorkel in the lovely lagoon, or simply laze in the sun on the beautiful sandbar that Gabriel Island is best known for. On the return journey to Grand Bay, make a stop at the natural aquarium of Coin de Mire and swim and snorkel among a multitude of colorful reef fish. The catamaran arrives back in the bay in the afternoon. Both shared and private options are available for this tour.

Good experience with the sweet crew. Lunch was delicious and the islands were beautiful. This boat arrives earlier than some of the others, which is very nice. Not a lot of snorkelling or dolphin/whale watching, so if you’re into that I would choose another trip. The boat is very open so bring and wear many layers of sunscreen. We wore spf 50 and was sunburned for 3 days afterwards. Also if you get sea sick, this ocean might be too wild for you. We rarely get sea sick, but the trip made us very nauseous.

The day was great.Crew had a great sense of humour and were well organised. The islands were beautiful and water was warm and clear.I would advise anyone going to take your own snorkelling equipment as there isn’t any on the boat.Make sure you take a bottle of water as though there is plenty of drinks offered on the boat once you are dropped off on the islands there is no where to get drinks and barely any shade.Would recommend this as a relaxing day out with a good lunch

The tour was excellent. The guides were friendly and helpful. The locations we were taken to were wonderful and the guides ensured we got good snorkelling. We noticed too that our tour left earliest and got back to harbour latest, meaning we were out for the longest. The bbq lunch was incredibly generous and genuinely delicious. Our only feedback would be a recommendation to wear swim shoes as the beaches have a lot of loose coral on them, and a sign on the beach indicating the meeting point.
