Review of Mauritius Northern Isles catamaran cruise: snorkeling, beach time, BBQ lunch, drinks, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“What a great little Adventure. The Captain and the Crew were brilliant from the time we departed until when we returned. Professional, diligent, kind and caring from start to finish. When the Captain informed us that we could get wet at the front of the Catamaran. He wasn’t joking. 🤣 We got soaked through. It was fun. If a bit wet and on the bumpy side. Then we reached the Tropical paradise of Flat Island and Gabriel Island. Simply stunning. Eye candy in the extreme. Crystal clear water, with white sandy beaches. We snorkelled with the tropical fish off Flat Island. Until taking Lunch back on the boat. Having enjoyed…”

“We liked the most our guide. Mauritius is a very easy product to sell, nature is stunningly beautiful: volcanic sights, geopark, lush forests and vegetation along the way. But people add on extra. Vikash is that person: knowledgable, interesting, kind and thoughtful. Just a simple example: we had a free time wondering, it started raining abs he found us with umbrellas. Extra he didn’t have to do. It was lovely and very good smooth running tour with nice quaint authentic family restaurant along the way. It was so good that we rebooked on the day the tour of the North we were very inclined to stay on the beach in…”

Trou d’Eau Douce: 5 Island Adventure with BBQ & Snorkeling

6.5 Island Adventure with BBQ & Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,052 reviews · 6 hours · from $100

Explore five islands near Mauritius by speedboat, with snorkeling, dolphins, historic lighthouses, waterfalls, and a beachside BBQ lunch.

“Highly recommend the speedboat tour of the 5 islands. Our Captain Derrick ripped across the waves (probably the best bit) - we got to see dolphins, turtles and monkeys over the course of the journey (recommend bringing a banana to feed monkeys). Great snorkelling opportunities, delicious BBQ lunch and free flowing rum throughout. There's an opportunity to go para-sailing out of sea for two people which I definitely recommend and is cheaper than organizing on the island.”
