Mauritius: Catamaran Day Cruise to lle aux Cerfs with Lunch

9.Catamaran Day Cruise to lle aux Cerfs with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 438 reviews · 6 hours · from $65

Join a professional English- or French-speaking crew in Trou d’Eau Douce for a six-hour catamaran cruise to Ile aux Cerfs. You’ll see GRSE waterfalls, snorkel in the lagoon, enjoy fish and chicken BBQ with drinks, and spend free time on the beach. Guide Aldo is especially attentive.

“The Catamaran cruise itself was great, the crew was nice, the food was good. The snorkeling spot was great but I think there are better places around Ile aux Cerfs to see more and more colourful fishes. The GSRE waterfall was disappointing and too many boats with tourists have been around. Ile aux Cerfs itself was very nice, has a lot of beautiful beaches but we only had 1,5 hours there. That was too less time to find a nice place and to relax or snorkel.”

Mauritius: 5 East Coast Islands Tour with Snorkeling & Lunch

11.5 East Coast Islands Tour with Snorkeling & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 267 reviews · 7 hours · from $85

Spend seven hours on a speedboat with guides such as Derek, Thomas, or Ronny, visiting Ile aux Cerfs, the GRSE waterfall, historic naval sites, snorkeling spots, and a beach lunch. Expect lively commentary, fast rides, swimming, and a route shaped by weather and island access.

“Travelling by speedboat was great fun and something different. There was another couple onboard with us but I wouldn't have liked the 10 which was the boats capacity. The trip was varied with getting to see the different islands with time dependent on the allowed access at relevant ones. The lunch was nice but served by staff where choosing by yourself might suit some people better. Thomas the guide was very friendly, chatty and passed on the information at each of the stops. We forgot to bring our snorkeling gear and were provided with an eye mask but no breathing tube so couldn't fully enjoy. I think having more equipment…”
