International Voyage Gabriel Island 5 Days / 4 Nights 2018

You’ll be welcomed aboard your intimate catamaran at Grand Baie at 12pm, noon, and enjoy lunch onboard. Your captain then sails north to Cap Malheureux bay where you’ll sleep aboard under the stars.

This morning you can enjoy the beach at Cap Malheureux and admire the famous red-roofed church, or you have the added option to visit the castle and gardens at Domaine de Labourdonnais Sugar Estate with its castle, groomed gardens, old orchard and rum factory. This excursion even includes a visit to a world-famous model boat factory.

After lunch on board you sail to L’Ile Plate to snorkel in Palissades. Your catamaran will then moor in the lagoon of Ilot Gabriel so you can swim and snorkel among these incredible reefs.

After breakfast and an spectacular swim in the topaz waters at Ilot Gabriel we will sail to Rivière Noire, a breathtaking bay of turquoise water and green-covered mountains rising in the backdrop. You’ll relax here for the afternoon and spend the night under the stars at ‘Black River.’

After breakfast, spend the day snorkeling and enjoy the shores. Or take an optional excursion to visit the village of Chamarel and the luscious, red-hewed earth mounds located in the island’s interior, and the adjoining blue lagoon. Then visit an artisanal rum distillery and enjoy a delicious lunch. In the afternoon we sail to the south end of the island to experience more exquisite snorkeling and swimming at Tamarin. Afterward, you’ll spend a restful night at La Balise Marina.

Disembark after breakfast at 8am.
