Trou d’Eau Douce: 5 Island Adventure with BBQ & Snorkeling

1.5 Island Adventure with BBQ & Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,052 reviews · 6 hours · from $100Our pick

Spend six hours on a small speedboat along Mauritius’ southeast coast, visiting Ile aux Cerfs, GRSE Waterfalls, Ile aux Fouquets, Ile de la Passe, and Ile aux Aigrettes. Expect snorkeling, swimming, island history, a beach BBQ, drinks, and possible sightings of dolphins, turtles, and monkeys with guides such as Rajiv, Oliver, or Jeremy.

“Highly recommend the speedboat tour of the 5 islands. Our Captain Derrick ripped across the waves (probably the best bit) - we got to see dolphins, turtles and monkeys over the course of the journey (recommend bringing a banana to feed monkeys). Great snorkelling opportunities, delicious BBQ lunch and free flowing rum throughout. There's an opportunity to go para-sailing out of sea for two people which I definitely recommend and is cheaper than organizing on the island.”

Lots of people on the island too, there were about 10 catamarans simultaneously. Plenty of space for all so no worries in that sense. I recommend you do this trip while on Mauritius.”
