About This Cruise with Transfer
Gabriel Island is one of the most beautiful spots in the Mauritian north, and adding a return hotel transfer makes reaching it completely effortless. Instead of arranging taxis or driving to Grand Baie, you are collected from your hotel, dropped at the boat, and returned after your day on the water.
The cruise itself is the classic north coast day: a sail past the dramatic rock face of Coin de Mire, a snorkelling stop in the clear lagoon, a freshly grilled BBQ lunch with an open bar, and generous time on the white-sand beach of Gabriel Island.
Because the transfer price depends on your hotel and route, we show this as a combined “from” price. When you book, we confirm your exact pickup time and the total combined cost before anything is final — so you always know exactly what you are paying.
