Visit Gabriel and Flat Islands, swim and snorkel in clear water, and enjoy a BBQ lunch with fish, chicken, sausage, salads, fruit, wine, beer, and rum. A possible stop at Gunners Coin depends on weather and sea conditions.

“Bardzo miła obsługa, starali się stworzyć fajną atmosferę. Byli uważni i dbali o dobre samopoczucie pasażerów. Nasz syn bardzo chciał usiąść za sterem i kierował łodzią z dobre 10 minut. Kilka rzeczy do wzięcia pod uwagę: 1. Na wyspie nie ma żadnych napojów. Warto sobie wziąć butelkę wody ze sobą. Szczególnie, że jest mega gorąco, a na wyspie zostawiają nas na 2h. Na łodzi jest napojów pod dostatkiem. 2. Smarować się, smarować się i jeszcze raz smarować się filtrami. Jesteśmy tu już kilka dni, smarowaliśmy się sporo, a i tak wszyscy wróciliśmy dzisiaj spaleni w kilku miejscach. 3. Warto zabrać obuwie do wody. Na wyspie jest dużo raf i dużo…”

“We booked the North Tour however when the driver/guide picked us up, he was prepared for the South Tour - he then checked with the management team which agreed there was a mistake and advised for him to carry out the North Tour. The guide made it explicitly clear that he only does the South and doesn’t know much about the North. I asked if he is still happy to do the tour to which he agreed. We arrived at Port Louis late due to this inconvenience - we parked the car then he walked with us into town. He didn’t give any information on anything we were seeing or…”
