Activity itinerary

Grand Baie

At the Grand Baie embarkation point, travelers are welcomed into one of Mauritius’ most vibrant coastal hubs. Grand Baie is a lively seaside village known for its turquoise lagoon, sheltered bay, and bustling waterfront atmosphere. Upon arrival, guests typically find calm morning activity around the marina area, with catamarans and boats gently anchored in the bay. Depending on the package, MTS representative will meet guests at a designated point near the waterfront or marina area, wearing a branded shirt and carrying a signboard for easy identification. They provide a warm welcome, confirm booking details, and guide guests smoothly through boarding arrangements. Before departure, travelers can enjoy the scenic surroundings—clear lagoon waters, views of anchored yachts, and the backdrop of the lively village with cafés, small shops, and beach activity nearby. It’s also a great moment for photos, capturing the iconic Grand Baie bay atmosphere before sailing.

Gunner's Quoin

Gunner's Quoin is a striking offshore islet located north of Mauritius, often visible on catamaran and yacht cruises departing from the northern lagoons. Rising dramatically from the ocean, its rugged volcanic rock formation and steep cliffs make it one of the most distinctive natural landmarks in the region. Surrounded by deep, crystal-clear waters, Gunner’s Quoin is not typically accessible for landing, which helps preserve its untouched and wild character. From the sea, travelers can admire its dramatic silhouette, often contrasted against vibrant turquoise and deep blue ocean tones. The area is also known for marine life, making it a great spot for snorkeling stops nearby, where coral gardens and tropical fish can often be seen in the surrounding waters. For guests on a catamaran excursion, passing Gunner’s Quoin offers a scenic highlight and a memorable photo opportunity.
