The boat was nice and the crew was fantastic. The only downside is that the tour is not what I’ve expected. I was expecting a “lonely” and “niche” feeling to explore those northern inhabited islands. However, they turned out to be quite crowded with lots of people making it not “hidden” at all.

Despite of this, the water was beautiful in different shades of blue and the beach was nice. It’s good if you want a day out in the sea. Less if you are expecting some sort of adventure into the inhabited islands.

The Catamaran tour was very well organised, from the Hotel Coin de Mire Attitude, the lunch was great, the staff were very attentive, and the snorkelling at Gabriel Island was a particular delight. It would however be cheaper to book directly through the hotel (3200MUR PP)

Very helpful team on board. Very clean catamaran and suitable for the size of the group. Friendly and varied lunch on board..and obviously the best, from snorkeling to the flat island and to the corner of sight for the greatest pleasure of our eyes. We recommend this day

This could have been a fabulous experience and we actually made lemonade out of lemons. This had nothing to do with the company, the crew, the operators, the equipment, the food, the music, or anything like that! All of that was amazing. It was even a beautifully sunny day. We did, however, have wind and very choppy seas, 2 meter high waves, which made the ride out to the islands rather rough and wet. Upon arrival at the islands, the water and currents were so strong, snorkeling was prohibited which was a disappointment. But, as I said, we made friends on board, played around and made jokes with the crew and I even quasi-snorkeled by hanging onto the stairs with my mask on in order to see some beautiful fish!

The service was excellent and the crew was very friendly. The beach visit was disappointing. Enormous amount of rocks in the sand which made the swimming uncomfortable. The food on the boat was very mediocre.

We had a wonderful day with a great crew and a lot of fun on the beautiful catamaran! We can absolutely recommend the tour, the catamaran is not overcrowded unlike many others on this tour, our captain was just great, there was a great atmosphere on board!

The cat is probably the smallest on the island. Not even enough seats for the number of passengers they took onboard. Too smal to move around when you’re onboard. Only about 10 seats in the very back. The departure was nearly one hour delayed for unknowned reason. Food had to be eaten standing up due to lack of seats and were no different to non luxury catamaran trips. The same goes for the drinks.
The only luxury on this trip was the price. Possibly due to the delayed departure we never went to Flat Island - all other tours do, and there is where you find the good snorkeling.
If you plan a trip to the northen islands, chose another tour operator. It will be both cheaper and deffinately better.
I’ve done three cat tours and this ”luxery catamaran tour” really did hit the bottom mark.
