Get ready for the wonderful experience.
The trip to the island takes about 2 hours. Sail on the different colours of the Ocean and enjoy very beautiful sea views. Reach the ilot Gabriel, the natural reserve having nests of the Paille en Queue among others. Snorkel as you have a wonderful beach around the island and swimming is a marvel.
Spend good time and relax on the island until a dinghy comes to take you back to the Catamaran, meaning lunch is ready friends. BBQ, salad, drinks etc. all provided. Then start your way back inland. During the return trip, you will be sailing very close to Coin de Mire, which is like a big mountain in the ocean. If the weather allows it, we shall snorkel very near to that mountain or even dive at times. Making your way back you can see dolphin or sea turtles but that is quite rare. The sail on the high ocean is a matter of thrill but safe. An unforgettable experience. Our guides and staff on the catamaran are lovely.

The trip was well organised and we visited ike Plate and Ilot Habrirl. Well worth it especially if you like snorkelling. We saw the ‘Paille en queue’ a Mauritius exotic bird. Will do it again

Catamaran excursion booking for the flat island via Get your guide: confirmed by email with full charge of course. Appointment scheduled more than 20 minutes before departure so as not to miss the departure think you!!! We waited an hour and a half at the meeting point without ever seeing anyone arrive! They are unreachable by phone, no SMS, and no contact watts app possible. Thank you for participating in this failed family day. It's a lack of seriousness and it's not very unprofessional! Would definitely not recommend.!

The organization was perfect: clear instructions at the departure, take off almost on time (9.30), a lot of drink and food...just didn't expecting so many high waves. The going was really scaring and someone had disease. Impossible to do snorkeling around Coin de Mire for the reason above, we went directly to Ile Plate and we stayed only there. It was windy but fine, really nice spot where to do snorkeling as well, really close to the beach also for children. Only be careful there's a strong current, but also safe low water. Resuming: Into the sea on the go it was a "never again", everything else was "worth the value".
