Out on the water
Good to know before you board
Four coasts, four moods
From Grand Gaube in the north the speedboats reach Gabriel Island, Flat Island, Coin de Mire and quiet Bernache. The east sails from Trou d'Eau Douce to the GRSE waterfall and Ile aux Cerfs, the south east works the Grand Port lagoon from Pointe d'Esny, and the west runs marine safaris from Black River towards Benitiers and Le Morne.
Private by default
Most of these trips put the whole boat at your group's disposal, from small speedboats to a sailing catamaran that takes thirteen guests. Shared departures such as the full day dolphin and barbecue trip say so on their listings.
What a day includes
Snorkelling stops with gear supplied, lunches that range from a barbecue on the beach to a meal served on board, and drinks on many trips. Each listing states exactly what comes with the boat.
Timing
Full days run around six to seven hours, half days about three and a half, and the sunset trip leaves late in the afternoon with appetisers and drinks on board.
Common questions
Which boat trip should I choose first?
Start from where you stay. The north answers with the islands day trip, the east with the catamaran to the waterfall and Ile aux Cerfs, the south east with the five islands day on the Grand Port lagoon, and the west with a marine safari along the coast.
Are the trips private?
Most reserve the whole boat for your group and each listing states its capacity. If you prefer a livelier shared day, the full day dolphin trip with island barbecue and sega music runs as a group departure.
Is snorkelling included?
Most trips stop to snorkel with gear supplied, and the crews pick the spot on the day for the best conditions. The listing tells you exactly what is planned on board.
