En route to the northern islands of Mauritius<\/h2>\n

\n \"En\n <\/p>\n

As a rule, most of Mauritius’s northern islands are surrounded by nature reserves and remain uninhabited, with the exception of Gabriel Islet and Plate Island.<\/p>\n

Ile Plate<\/strong>, a veritable miniature Garden of Eden, is a haven of peace<\/a> bordered by a turquoise lagoon and lush tropical flora. From the top of the lighthouse, a panorama of the five northern islands literally takes your breath away.<\/p>\n

Islet Gabriel<\/strong> also offers fabulous diving and snorkeling opportunities. This natural sanctuary boasts basalt beaches and vertigo-inducing water vantage points. You don’t come here without your mask and snorkel. Diving in this reserve is like immersing yourself<\/a> in a giant aquarium, surrounded by multicolored coral and tropical fish – a veritable paradise!<\/p>\n

Last but not least, we must mention the Coin de Mire, probably our favorite spot in the north of Mauritius. Wilder and less accessible, it’s a haven for birdwatchers thanks to its abundant birdlife, including the prestigious paille-en-queue.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, let’s climb aboard the catamaran!<\/h2>\n

For this adventure to discover the northern islands of Mauritius, we strongly advise you to opt for a trip on a catamaran, which we believe is one of the most popular means of transport in the Indian Ocean. This gives you a privileged view of the islands from the sea, and allows you to land just like the daring pioneers of yesteryear. The excursion starts in Grand-Baie, where you take your place aboard a spacious catamaran<\/strong> and let the sea breeze carry you across the majestic expanse of the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n

After an hour’s crossing, amidst tuna, stingrays and, if you’re lucky, whales, you’ll land on the Coin de Mire<\/strong>, characterized by its striking relief. Although access is restricted by environmental regulations, it is possible to circumnavigate the island by boat, bringing you up close and personal with a veritable aquatic Eden.<\/p>\n

Finally, from the deck of our catamaran, we invite you to take a step towards the unforgettable Gabriel and Plate islands. Enjoy a traditional Mauritian<\/a> meal on board, featuring grilled meats and fish and a variety of exotic salads. Don’t forget to raise your eyes to the sky or scan the water – who knows, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of turtles, dolphins or other extraordinary seabirds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
