Description

The experience begins at Grand Baie Public Beach under the large Badamier tree in front of Domino’s Pizza. Choose a speedboat for a faster ride than catamarans, arriving early at the islands to enjoy pristine beaches before crowds.

The tour starts with a scenic cruise past Coin de Mire, where you can photograph its cliffs and spot red-tailed tropicbirds. Next, visit Gabriel Island and Flat Island, with opportunities for snorkeling in turquoise lagoons. Sea turtles are commonly seen, and dolphins or whales may appear during the crossing.

The onboard traditional Mauritian BBQ includes grilled chicken, fish, potatoes, and fresh bread. The open bar offers wine, local rum, beer, juices, and soft drinks. Music and an experienced crew create a balanced day of adventure and relaxation.

Whether exploring the lighthouse, snorkeling the 'Aquarium,' or relaxing on deck with a drink, the two available speedboats provide an efficient way to visit all three islands. Return to Grand Baie while the afternoon light is ideal.
