A major highlight of the voyage is the spectacular scenery of Gunner’s Quoin (Coin de Mire) and Flat Island, with high sea-cliffs towering into the sky which serve as nesting grounds to large colonies of tropicbirds that are seen soaring and gliding by. In the distance, the highly distinctive shapes and colours of Round Island and Snakes Island beckon.

After approximately one hour of easy cruising, you will discover the magic of Flat Island and Gabriel Island. You can snorkel in the lovely lagoon, or simply laze in the sun on the beautiful sandbar that Gabriel Island is best known for. You will have a tasty barbeque lunch onboard with drinks, both soft and alcoholic for your preference !

Special experience with extremely friendly crew - Amazing trip. Firstly, the staff are super friendly, attentive and welcoming. I didn't catch any of their names, but hopefully their employer can match my name to those the crew. The snorkelling spot was stunning and the 2 islands that you stop off at are very pretty. I would have hoped for more exploring on the island but it wasn't that vibe. Food was delicious. The part that meant the most was when I asked the skipper if he could speedboat me to the island again as my tee fell out my bag. Without hesitation he said yes. That meant a lot to me.

Wonderful outing! - It was just a wonderful day! I just wish we had more time at the last site to snorkel as it was a magical place! Maybe if some of the guests were not late we could have left on time.

An amazing family-friendly day out with a relaxed atmosphere and chilled vibes. - We had an amazing family day out with Passion Oceane/Wind Dancer. Firstly, their service was excellent when we had to rearrange a previously booked tour due to an emergency, they accommodated us without fuss and offered us another day that suited. We met early morning on Grand Baie beach, they were easy to find and the boat was in the bay exactly where it says on Google Maps. They used a dinghy to get us all aboard, about 24-28 people in total I believe. Food and soft drinks were offered as we settled, our bags placed safely in the hold, and then off we went. It was lovely to sit out on the front, you're allowed 2 people on each of the mesh parts, and about 8-10 on some outside seating, but we found people were happy to take turns in between each of the stops. It gets very warm out in the sun, so take sun-screen and a hat and move inside if you need to. Water is available at all times on request. First stop was snorkeling in a Southern cove of Gunner's Quoin. Lots and lots of fish, and some amazing coral. We spent about 30 minutes here I think, and it was just about the right amount of time for us. Next was a long trip out across the ocean to the bay between Flat Island and Gabriel Island. Here we were again dinghied, this time across to Flat Island, to spend some time on the beach or snorkeling. We saw a stingray, and some turtles, and loads of fish. There were loads of taxi-boats moored along the beach here, which detracted a bit from the experience, but there was enough sea to get out and swim in, and enough beach to chill out on. After an hour on Flat Island we returned via dinghy to the boat where a lovely BBQ meal of chicken, fish, sausages, pasta, and salad was waiting for us. There was enough for seconds for those that wanted it, which I gladly accepted. Finally we were dinghied over to Gabriel Island for a final hour of beaching and snorkeling. My only (small) issue was a comment made about leaving your bags behind on the boat: "you only need your sunglasses, suncream, water, and a towel", and so I did, and I regretted it. In fact I didn't even take my water because it was in my bag, and I was expecting to take my bag. I also wanted my snorkel and other things I'd put in my day pack. I wonder if the motivation is to prevent everybody taking bags (which might mean they can take less people per boat?), or maybe I misunderstood what was being said. Either way, next time I would take my backpack to shore, and I'm sure that'd be ok and it was just my mistake. At the end of the day we all settled back aboard for the trip back to the mainland. All-in-all this was a fantastic family journey. If you're out for a drunken party boat, this isn't it, but if you want a lovely, chilled atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy your day with family and friends (existing and newly made on the day), then Wind Dancer is the boat for you.

Exceptional snorkeling and beautiful beaches - Awesome trip, despite early walking up. The crew was super friendly and helpful. The beaches at the islands were amazing, we particularly enjoyed snorkeling at the Gabriel island, we saw countless fish and even a sea turtle. Definitely would go again!

A very nice day - There is no shortage of offers for those who wish to visit Gabriel Island and Plate Island. We came across a superb team, friendly, professional and the service delivered lived up to the promise shown. CONGRATULATIONS to Mossel (the skipper) and his crew. From the stop at Coin de Mire to swim with the fish, to the stop on Gabriel Island and then on the flat island where we saw turtles and a ray to the meal/drinks on the boat, everything was pleasure! We loved this great outing and met some very interesting people. Thanks again to the crew, go ahead without thinking too much, you won't be disappointed.

Private cruise on the Northern Islands - Great day to have privatized a catamaran for our family outing to the Northern Islands. Top service with a caring crew. We highly recommend Wind Dancer Cruises-Passion Océane for this type of outing. Thanks to Stéphanie for her kindness and our numerous discussions and to our crew of the day: Marcel, Paul and Stéphane. See you soon M and L
