1.Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to the Northern Isles

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,798 reviews · 8 hours · from $82Our pick

Join the orange-and-white Wind Dancer from Grand Baie for an 8-hour cruise to Flat Island, Gabriel Island, and Coin de Mire. You get tea, coffee, cake, snorkeling gear, a BBQ lunch, drinks, and time to swim or relax. The English- and French-speaking crew, including crew member Paul, keeps the day friendly and well organized.

“This was THE BEST boat trip we have ever been on. The crew were incredible; professional, attentive and fun. The beaches were stunning. The crew fed the fish to help us see more of the beautiful species. We got plenty of time at the snorkeling and on the islands. On the way back from the islands the Captain took the time to stop and allow us to see the dolphins while other boats raced back to port. The food was delicious and the drink plenty. The most perfect day. We loved it. Thank you so much!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 193 reviews

Spend 7 to 8 flexible hours exploring northern Mauritius with a private driver-guide. Visit Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, shop at Le Caudan Waterfront, climb Port Louis Citadel, and relax at Grand Baie. Guides such as Raj, Ravi, Robin, and Nishal are praised for friendly service, though guiding depth can vary.

“This was an enjoyable day with a variety of things to see, and made very good by the attitude of my excellent guide/driver called Ravine, who drove me for the second day in a row. The restaurant I was taken for a meal (not included) was quite good but rather expensive (not as good as the meal on the southwest tour).. If you have the time available, I would recommend taking both the northern and southwestern tours. However, if your time is limited and you can only manage one of the tours, then I'd suggest opting for the southwest tour.”

Gunners Coin may be a final snorkeling stop if weather and sea conditions allow. English and French guidance is provided.

“Bardzo miła obsługa, starali się stworzyć fajną atmosferę. Byli uważni i dbali o dobre samopoczucie pasażerów. Nasz syn bardzo chciał usiąść za sterem i kierował łodzią z dobre 10 minut. Kilka rzeczy do wzięcia pod uwagę: 1. Na wyspie nie ma żadnych napojów. Warto sobie wziąć butelkę wody ze sobą. Szczególnie, że jest mega gorąco, a na wyspie zostawiają nas na 2h. Na łodzi jest napojów pod dostatkiem. 2. Smarować się, smarować się i jeszcze raz smarować się filtrami. Jesteśmy tu już kilka dni, smarowaliśmy się sporo, a i tak wszyscy wróciliśmy dzisiaj spaleni w kilku miejscach. 3. Warto zabrać obuwie do wody. Na wyspie jest dużo raf i dużo…”

“We booked the North Tour however when the driver/guide picked us up, he was prepared for the South Tour - he then checked with the management team which agreed there was a mistake and advised for him to carry out the North Tour. The guide made it explicitly clear that he only does the South and doesn’t know much about the North. I asked if he is still happy to do the tour to which he agreed. We arrived at Port Louis late due to this inconvenience - we parked the car then he walked with us into town. He didn’t give any information on anything we were seeing or…”
