Escape to the northern islands of Mauritius and discover your own tropical haven for a day. Lay out on the beach and sunbathe, snorkel in the warm turquoise waters, or just enjoy a leisurely swim as the hours pass by. An indulgent barbecue on board refuels you for the sail back to the mainland.

Board your vessel for the day, and sail north from Grand Bay, past the natural reef and into the ocean. As Gabriel Island and neighboring Flat Island emerge like mirages on the horizon, admire the vibrant colors of green oases against the deep blues of sea and sky. Drop anchor and dive in, refreshing yourself in the cool waters.

The snorkeling here is excellent; wonder at the colorful reef fish and explore the nooks and crannies around the rocks that make furtive hiding places for marine life. Climb back aboard as the smell of barbecue entices you. Feast on a substantial selection, enjoying complimentary beer, wine, and soft drinks.

Return to the main island, absorbing the breathtaking scenery of the stunning coastline as you approach, having completed a great ocean voyage.
