Discover the Serenity of Flat Island

Getting There

• Boat

  To reach Flat Island, start by heading to Grand Baie Public Beach, which is located at the northern end of Grand Baie. From the beach, you’ll find several boat operators offering trips to Flat Island. Look for booths where you can purchase tickets; they usually have signs displaying their destinations. The boat trip typically takes around 30 minutes. Make sure to check the departure times and book your spot in advance if possible, especially during peak tourist seasons.

• Tour Operator

  Another option is to join a guided tour that includes Flat Island. You can find various tour operators located along the main street in Grand Baie, near the shopping areas. Visit one of these operators and inquire about tours to Flat Island. They often provide transportation to the boat departure point and include amenities like lunch, snorkeling gear, and guided tours. Ensure you confirm the schedule and what is included in the tour package.

• Water Taxi

  If you prefer a more private option, look for water taxis at Grand Baie Public Beach. These boats can take you directly to Flat Island. To find a water taxi, walk along the beach area, and ask the local boatmen about availability and rates. This option is typically more flexible but can be pricier than scheduled boat trips. Discuss the return time with the boatman to ensure you have a ride back to Grand Baie.
