Activity Details

We'll meet at the specified time at Royal Road, from where we will proceed to the pier and board the catamaran that will transport us to the northern islands.

During the 1.5-hour sail across the turquoise waters of northern Mauritius, you will admire the coastline scattered with colorful houses and coral beaches. This area is considered one of the most photogenic in the country, showcasing stunning blue hues that shift with the light of day.

As we navigate the waters, we'll catch sight of the striking Coin de Mire, also known as Gunner's Quoin. This rocky islet emerges from the ocean like a natural fortress, sporting cliffs that house endemic birds, including the Mauritius petrel and the brown booby.

Upon reaching Gabriel Island, a protected paradise with white sands and crystal-clear waters, you will have one hour of free time to discover the area. Opportunities abound for snorkeling among coral reefs, swimming with vibrant fish, or simply basking in the sun. This islet, together with Île Plate, is part of a nature reserve that safeguards one of the purest marine ecosystems in the Indian Ocean.

After this, a delightful lunch will be served on board, featuring grilled fresh fish, chicken, salads, and vegetarian options, complemented by a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in a relaxed setting. Following 1.5 hours of relaxation and culinary enjoyment, we will begin our return to Grand Baie, taking in different vistas of the north coast of Mauritius.

Ultimately, after a full duration of 6 to 7 hours, we will conclude our journey at the initial meeting point.
