Mangroves and 5 Paradise-like Islets – Day Trip

A day full of fun and good humour thanks to your experienced skipper, Marie-France. Come and discover Grand-Cul-de-Sac-Marin and its wonders.

8.30 am departure from the port of Sainte-Rose. Cruise through the mangroves, where Marie-France will share her knowledge of the ecosystem with you. A short stop at a hut where you’ll be offered a refreshing drink (juice, planteur, rum, water) whilst with your feet in the water. We’ll then head to Caret Islet where you can go snorkelling. Two swimming stops are then on the programme: exploring a shipwreck, followed by observing the flora and fauna of the Great Barrier Reef – a veritable life-size aquarium. This is the time to take in the memories of the magnificent spectacle offered by this breathtaking natural environment. You’ll round off your morning with a well-deserved stop at Îlet la Biche, where you’ll be served a meal specially prepared for you by your captain. The meal consists of: starter (Creole blood sausage, accras, raw vegetables), main course (grilled fish, chicken on request, local vegetable gratin – papaya, pumpkin, bananas – depending on the season), dessert (platter of seasonal fruit – mango, banana, papaya… – coffee and digestif). After this delicious meal, we’ll head for Îlet Blanc and Îlet aux Oiseaux. Stops for a swim. You’ll be able to observe and discover the many species (terns, pelicans, herons…). Arrival at the port at 4.00 pm, still marvelling at your day.
