 Island-hopping experience

Gunner’s Quoin, an islet beckoning from the Ocean Grand Gaube, is one must-stop in an island-hopping experience up north. Tours by speedboat or catamaran could be arranged right at the Grand Gaube village where the 2Futures development is located.

Also called Coin de Mire, the 65-hectare Gunner’s Quoin is a worthy first stopover for snorkelers and divers. The islet is an ancient basaltic volcanic cone, a hint to the volcanic origin of the larger mainland of Mauritius. Gunner’s Quoin is a protected nature reserve. The caves of its basaltic cliffs are nesting sites to various seabird species.

From Gunner’s Quoin, an island excursion can hop next to the nearby Flat Island or Ile Plate. It’s the largest of the northern islets and has two smaller satellites—Ilot Gabriel and Pigeon Rock. Though mostly level, Flat Island features a hill which hosts one of the operating lighthouses in Mauritius.

Marine life encounters

Swimming and snorkelling are quite enjoyable at Flat Island wherein the corals are in abundance right off its white sandy beach. Divers, on the other hand, will love the nearby Pigeon Rock world-famous for its “Shark Pit.” Here, divers can marvel at sharks swirling within the pit providing rich oxygen as waves crash against Pigeon Rock’s cliffs.

However, you need not venture out into the ocean for an exciting experience with sharks and other marine life. All it would take is a short trip from Grand Gaube south to Pointe aux Piments. This coastal area, where real estate prices are also at a premium incidentally, is host to the Mauritius Aquarium.

This aquarium boasts of a collection of 200 Mauritian marine species including not only fish but also corals, invertebrates, and sponges. It also features a reservoir for large marine predators like sharks. This facility likewise includes a pool where kids can interact directly with charming and harmless sea creatures native to the waters of Mauritius.
