“Fantastic trip which is unmissable if you like the open water and pristine beaches. Sailing away from Grand Baie into the open waters can be a little choppy but relatively mild. You sail to these fantastic islands through blue seas and we spotted dolphins swimming alongside even if only for a few seconds. The snorkelling on Illiot George is spectacular and the beaches paradise like. Final word must go to the crew of the Dawn which were fantastic - witty, helpful, friendly and keen to please. A nice party atmosphere the final 30 minutes of the boat ride to wake us up from the post-meal/post-sun slumber.”

“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…”

“Bonjour, les iles du nord sont toujours aussi belles, et l'attraction principale est l'incroyable diversité de poissons tropicaux. L'équipage du bateau très sympathique. Par contre, nous étions probablement plus de 50 personnes, et il n'y a qu'une quarantaine de places assises dans le cockpit du bateau, et seulement une dizaine de places pour manger sur une table. Sur la nourriture et les boissons rien à dire, par contre on mange sur ses genoux. Mais ce qui m'a le plus gêné, c'est la musique ''A FOND'' du matin jusqu'au soir !!! Je sais qu'on est à Maurice mais quand même... Donc, si vous êtes jeune, aimez faire la fête et la…”

Arrived at the dock, and we're transported from speed boat onto the catamaran. We were offered a range of drinks throughout the trip, from soft drinks, beers & wine. We sailed for around an hour, and stopped off for 20 mins to snorkel and swim, we managed to see dolphins. We then sailed to near the waterfall and we're transported for 10-15 mins on a speed boat to the waterfall and saw monkeys. We had a BBQ style lunch, which was delicious. Choice of chicken…”
