Private Speed Boat Trip to Gabriel Island, Flat Island & Coin de Mire Island

The Private Speed Boat departs from Grand Baie in the North of Mauritius. You and your group will board the vessel so that you can share this experience with only your loved ones. From Grand Baie, you will cruise along the lagoon proceeding all the way to Gabriel Island, a small paradise island, and get the chance to also cruise by Flat Island.

Enjoy the breathtaking scenery along the Mauritius coastline and the crystal clear water all around, and feel the adrenaline pumps as you fly high speed on the waves with the wind in your hair.

On the way, you will be able to admire the scenic beauty of Grand Baie, Pereybere and Cap Malheureux from a different perspective.

Unlike other sailing trips to Gabriel Island which take about 1:30 – 1:45 hours, the speed boat trip to Gabriel Island takes only about 25-30 minutes, making it an ideal alternative for both those suffering from seasickness and for anyone looking for fun and exciting cruising experience at high speed.

The island is most famous for its beautiful unspoiled beaches, with crystal clear water surrounding the entire island. This is the ideal place to enjoy sunbathing, swimming or snorkelling.

At around 12:00, you will enjoy a full delicious BBQ lunch buffet. The lunch menu consists of fresh fish, chicken and a selection of salads. If you are a vegetarian, please advise us beforehand, so we can arrange the necessary additions to the lunch.

As part of the cruise, you will pass by amazing lagoons of the islets, where swimming and snorkelling are a must. Of course, you can choose to stay on the beautiful white sand beaches, enjoy a sun bath or a nice walk on the Island. This amazing paradise island is the perfect setting for a relaxing day of sun worship.

This is no doubt a great place to enjoy a day of relaxation and fun on one of the picture-postcard beaches or enjoy swimming and snorkelling in the sea.

Afterwards, you will head to Coin de Mire Island for you to enjoy snorkelling in one of Mauritius best snorkelling sights. At Coin de Mire you could see hundreds of fish in a variety of colours as well as see the well-preserved coral reef. This is a must place to snorkel for anyone looking to discover Mauritius marine life.

Then after, the speed boat will continue cruising at speed back to Grand Baie.
