Sailing into Family Fun: Our Northern Cruise Adventure in Grand Baie

When I heard about the Northern Cruise Catamaran from Grand Baie, I knew it was a must-try for our family. With promises of stunning views, island exploration, and delicious food, it sounded like the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

Setting Sail from Grand Baie

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that promise both adventure and relaxation, and the Northern Cruise Catamaran from Grand Baie seemed to offer just that. The day began with a gentle breeze as we boarded the catamaran, greeted by a friendly crew who immediately made us feel at home. The kids were thrilled to be on a boat, and I could already sense that this was going to be a memorable day.

The sail along Mauritius’ northern coastline was nothing short of spectacular. The iconic Coin de Mire, with its dramatic cliffs and lush greenery, provided a stunning backdrop for our journey. The kids were fascinated by the seabirds soaring above and the possibility of spotting marine life. It was a perfect blend of education and entertainment, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to share this experience with my family.

Island Time at Île aux Gabriel

Upon reaching Île aux Gabriel, we were given three hours of free time to explore the island. The crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches were a dream come true for the kids, who immediately set off to build sandcastles and splash in the gentle waves. My husband and I took the opportunity to relax and soak in the sun, enjoying the serene beauty of the island.

Snorkeling was a highlight for us, as the vibrant marine life beneath the surface was a sight to behold. The kids were amazed by the colorful fish and coral, and it was a joy to see their faces light up with wonder. The island offered the perfect setting for family bonding, and I couldn’t help but think about how these moments would become cherished memories.

A Delicious Onboard Experience

As lunchtime approached, we returned to the catamaran for a delicious meal featuring local and international cuisine. The food was a delightful surprise, with flavors that captured the essence of Mauritius. The staff was attentive and ensured that everyone was well taken care of, adding to the overall enjoyment of the day.

The drinks were equally enjoyable, and it was a pleasure to sip on a refreshing beverage while taking in the breathtaking views. The atmosphere on board was lively and fun, with music playing and laughter filling the air. It was a perfect way to unwind and enjoy the company of family and new friends.

As we sailed back to Grand Baie, I reflected on the day’s adventure and felt a deep sense of contentment. The Northern Cruise Catamaran had delivered on its promise of a scenic sail and island time, providing a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. It’s an experience I wholeheartedly recommend to families looking to create unforgettable memories together.
