The azure waters of the north coast invite you to soak up the panoramic views and enjoy the warmth of the sun - as you make your way to Gabriel Island.

Once you're there, you'll be able to enjoy a multitude of activities and have fun your way. Explore the island, cool off in the turquoise lagoon or opt for a memorable snorkelling experience under the guidance of the experienced crew.

For those seeking tranquillity, the beautiful white sandy beaches provide the perfect backdrop for just lazing around. You can choose to stay on the beautiful beaches, sunbathe, take a nice walk or click some pictures that will make your followers eager to visit Mauritius.

BBQ Lunch Delight!

In Mauritius, a catamaran cruise paired with a BBQ lunch has become a renowned combination that captures the essence of the island's hospitality and culinary excellence. So, as you're exploring the surroundings, the irresistible aroma of BBQ will whet your appetite.

Savour the delectable dishes served on board – from perfectly grilled fish & chicken to seasonal fruits, rice & pasta salad and more. An added bonus for this trip is that you can choose from a selection of drinks including alcoholic (rum, beer, wine…) and non-alcoholic beverages to sip on throughout the day.

Farewell & Cherished Memories

But as the saying goes, all good things come to an end. Once lunch is over, it’ll be time to sail back to Grand Baie. Don’t miss the chance to lounge on the catamaran's trampoline area at the front. Here, you can soak up the sun, relishing the breathtaking views while the gentle sea breeze caresses you.

Although you may feel a tinge of sadness when you leave the island, rest assured that your heart will be filled with memories that you will cherish forever.
