Full-day "Catamaran Cruise to Northern Isles" with lunch and refreshments...

 

The only Catamaran to go to all 3 Northern Islands in one day!!! 

​

Travel in comfort to the magnificent Northern Isles aboard our beautiful catamaran - Wind Dancer with a chance to encounter dolphins and whales on this highly informative and unforgettable adventure cruise. 

A major highlight of the voyage is the spectacular scenery of Gunner’s Quoin (Coin de Mire) and Flat Island, with high sea-cliffs towering into the sky which serve as nesting grounds to large colonies of tropicbirds that are seen soaring and gliding by.  Built on Flat Island’s highest point is a historical white lighthouse which is still a beacon for fishermen and other seafarers entering Mauritian waters from the north. In the distance, the highly distinctive shapes and colours of Round Island and Snakes Island beckon. The catamaran cruise to northern Isles is precious remnants of Mauritius’ former natural state and important refuges for the country’s rare and endangered species – many of which are found nowhere else in the world.

After approximately one hour of easy cruising, you will discover the magic of Flat Island and Gabriel Island, Mauritius’ very own island getaways and Government-declared Nature Reserves featuring pristine white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, beautiful coral gardens, a rich birdlife, spectacular coastal scenery, and a casual atmosphere.

You can 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, we make a stopover at Gunner's Quoin and its natural aquarium where you get to swim and snorkel among a multitude of colorful reef fish. 
 

Whether you are looking for adventure or leisure, our aim is to make this a day to remember!
