3.Ilot Gabriel: Catamaran Cruise & BBQ Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 139 reviews · 7 hours · from $69Best value

Spend seven hours sailing from Grand Baie to Ilot Gabriel, with snorkeling, beach time, and a BBQ lunch served aboard the catamaran. The French and English-speaking crew, including captain Jerry on some departures, keeps the mood lively. Bring your own mask, towel, swimwear, and sunscreen.

“Fantastic trip which is unmissable if you like the open water and pristine beaches. Sailing away from Grand Baie into the open waters can be a little choppy but relatively mild. You sail to these fantastic islands through blue seas and we spotted dolphins swimming alongside even if only for a few seconds. The snorkelling on Illiot George is spectacular and the beaches paradise like. Final word must go to the crew of the Dawn which were fantastic - witty, helpful, friendly and keen to please. A nice party atmosphere the final 30 minutes of the boat ride to wake us up from the post-meal/post-sun slumber.”
