Description
Begin your day at Sunset Boulevard in Grand Baie, where you’ll meet the crew at 8:45 am before boarding your catamaran for an unforgettable northern-islands escape. From 9:00 am, sail across crystal-blue waters toward the iconic Gunner’s Quoin, keeping an eye out for graceful Pailles en Queue birds gliding above the cliffs. The scenery shifts from deep-blue ocean to dramatic rock formations as you approach this beloved northern landmark.
Your journey continues toward Gabriel Island, where the catamaran anchors between 11:00 am and 12:30 pm. Here, pristine white sand, turquoise lagoons, and vibrant marine life set the stage for swimming, snorkelling, and soaking up the sun. Wander the shoreline, take in the unspoilt natural beauty, or simply float in the warm lagoon waters while the crew assists you with gear and guidance.
At 12:30 pm, enjoy a mouth-watering BBQ lunch on board, featuring grilled fish, chicken, sausages, fresh salads, and seasonal fruit, with vegetarian options available. After lunch, relax on deck as the catamaran gently sails the lagoon, giving you time to unwind until around 2:15 pm.
As the afternoon unfolds, take in the panoramic views of Mauritius’ northern coastline, from sparkling lagoons to distant islets. The return cruise is calm, scenic, and the perfect way to end a sun-soaked day at sea.
You’ll arrive back at Sunset Boulevard, Grand Baie, at approximately 3:30 pm, bringing your island adventure to a smooth and satisfying close.
