Mauritius: Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to the Northern Isles - Flat Island’s Beaches and First Snorkeling Stop

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

Cruise Mauritius’ Northern Isles by catamaran with snorkeling, white-sand beaches, a BBQ lunch, and a chance to spot turtles or dolphins.

“The trip was great, the guides and crew were all friendly and warm, the islands were amazing. Just be aware that the trip from the mainland to the islands themselves can get quite rough, so you may prefer to sit in the back on the seats, rather than the netting up front where you're more exposed to the sea. We were sat up front and a few waves smashed directly into us. It was quite fun actually but quite rough too, so you'd just want to be aware of that.”

Speed across Mauritius’s east coast to reefs, shipwrecks, lighthouses, waterfalls, Ile aux Cerfs, and a beach barbecue lunch.

“The weather wasn’t the best but that cannot be helped. Your operator tried to squeeze us on to a catamaran tour rather than sending out the speedboat we had booked. This is where knowing some Créole or French will help you out immensely. We were taken to another speedboat tour operator and transferred over to them. Then the day improved immensely. Didn’t see GRSE, again weather, can’t be helped. Snorkeling, swimming, lunch on beach and being able to walk on lighthouse island were all highlights. FYI the catamaran did not do these activities. Found the silver lining on a cloudy day. The speedboat driver with other tour operator, Ting tours…”
