Tour Description

Embark on a spectacular sailing adventure to the tranquil and unspoiled Gabriel Island, one of Mauritius’ most idyllic northern gems. This full-day catamaran cruise blends the thrill of the open sea with the serenity of an island escape.

Departing from Grand Baie, your voyage begins aboard a sleek, fully equipped catamaran crewed by a friendly and professional team. As you sail toward Gabriel Island, enjoy panoramic views of the coast and nearby islets such as Coin de Mire (Gunner’s Quoin). The journey itself is a treat — the turquoise water, sea breeze, and gentle rhythm of the waves create the perfect setting for relaxation.

Upon arrival, you’ll step ashore onto Gabriel Island’s powdery white beaches, where calm waters invite you to swim, snorkel, or simply bask in the sun. The island’s natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere make it a true tropical sanctuary.

Around midday, the crew will prepare a delicious barbecue lunch served on board, featuring grilled chicken, fish, and sausages, accompanied by fresh salads and sides. Enjoy free-flowing drinks — including water, soft drinks, beer, and local rum — while you listen to music and unwind in the shade or on deck.

As the catamaran sails back to Grand Baie in the afternoon, you’ll have the opportunity to stop for snorkeling at selected coral spots, giving you a closer look at Mauritius’ colorful marine life. With smaller groups and a safety-first approach, this experience combines comfort, fun, and a personal touch — making it a day you’ll always remember.

Transfers are available from any accommodation on the island, or you can opt to meet the crew directly in Grand Baie if you prefer to self-drive.
