Northern Islands of Mauritius are one of the most beautiful private boat excursions on the island. Discover Gabriel Island, Flat Island and Coin de Mire during a full-day adventure combining crystal-clear lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, tropical marine life and a freshly prepared beach barbecue.
Departure is from Grand Gaube public beach at 8:00 AM.
Return is scheduled around 2:45–3:00 PM.
Because we leave early, you’ll enjoy the lagoons before most tour boats arrive, making the snorkeling quieter and the water even clearer.
During the excursion, we visit the three Northern Islands of Mauritius :
Each stop offers a different atmosphere and unique snorkeling opportunities.
The Northern Islands of Mauritius offer some of the most diverse snorkelling experiences in Mauritius. During this excursion, you’ll enjoy two guided snorkeling sessions in carefully selected locations, including the crystal-clear lagoon between Gabriel Island and Flat Island, and the spectacular rocky reef of Coin de Mire.
These two sites offer completely different underwater landscapes, allowing you to discover an impressive variety of coral reefs and marine life in a single day. Depending on the season and sea conditions, you may encounter colourful tropical fish, rays, moray eels, octopuses and, with a little luck, green sea turtles.
Whether you’re an experienced snorkeler or trying it for the first time, our team will guide you in the water to help you make the most of each snorkeling session safely and comfortably.
Lunch on Flat Island
Lunch is freshly prepared on the island by our crew and served in a shaded beach hut facing the lagoon, in a peaceful and natural setting.

• Flambéed banana and roasted pineapple
