Ile aux Cerfs , Ile aux Bénitiers , whale watching, swimming with dolphins , excursions in the stunning Blue Bay lagoon … There are so many wonders to discover by boat on this island.

During your stay in Mauritius, don’t miss out on this superb sea excursion to the northern islets .
There are three islets off the northern coast. They are named:
- Coin de Mire
- Ilot Gabriel
- and Ile Plate
Each islet is a small nature reserve that harbors a rich terrestrial and marine flora and fauna.
Coin de Mire is renowned for its natural aquarium attracting many divers year-round. The other two islets boast exceptional beaches .
This catamaran trip in Mauritius departs from Grand Baie , at the public beach.
You will embark on a comfortable and beautiful sailing boat around 8 a.m. and set off for 8 hours of adventures.

The great thing about the company that organizes this excursion is that it limits access to about fifteen people per boat.
This way, you won’t end up on an overcrowded catamaran, which would make the experience much less enjoyable.

This is the case with the company Dolswim , which respects the distances and follows the correct guidelines to observe the animals without causing them stress.
You should definitely try this speedboat outing they organize to watch the dolphins and even swim close to them!

Many travelers mistakenly think that healthcare in Mauritius is affordable and they don’t need travel insurance. But in reality, the public health system is fragile and even a simple consultation in a private clinic is very expensive!
That’s why it is essential to take out travel insurance with good medical coverage before you leave.
To travel safely , I recommend the following two insurances (both include epidemic coverage—like for Covid-19—which is very important!)
To subscribe, it’s very simple, you just need to click on the orange links below :
- ACS AMI Globe Partner : Medical insurance and repatriation
- Assur Travel Summum : Premium insurance (medical, repatriation, baggage theft, flight delay, cancellation, and more!)
