Review of Mauritius’s Ile aux Cerfs catamaran cruise, with waterfall views, snorkeling, BBQ lunch, drinks, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Amazing! Such good hosts constantly providing refreshments. Very good value for money, would recommend to anybody. A beautiful and comfortable day at sea. Snorkelling spot could have been better and would have been good to see the dolphins but that’s not in control I guess!”

“I strongly recommend this trip. We had booked this activity for one day and that day the weather was bad and we changed for another day after speaking with Genaro. The two guides at the boat were very kind and helpful. Everything was perfect. We did exactly what it is in the description. We had the opportunity to do parasailing and it was amazing!”

Speed across Mauritius’s east coast to reefs, shipwrecks, lighthouses, waterfalls, Ile aux Cerfs, and a beach barbecue lunch.

“The weather wasn’t the best but that cannot be helped. Your operator tried to squeeze us on to a catamaran tour rather than sending out the speedboat we had booked. This is where knowing some Créole or French will help you out immensely. We were taken to another speedboat tour operator and transferred over to them. Then the day improved immensely. Didn’t see GRSE, again weather, can’t be helped. Snorkeling, swimming, lunch on beach and being able to walk on lighthouse island were all highlights. FYI the catamaran did not do these activities. Found the silver lining on a cloudy day. The speedboat driver with other tour operator, Ting tours…”

11.Catamaran Cruise to Ile aux Cerfs with BBQ Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 106 reviews · 7 - 8 hours · from $111

Sail Mauritius's turquoise lagoon to Ile aux Cerfs for snorkeling, a waterfall visit, open-bar drinks, and a fresh BBQ lunch.

“L’équipage était au top et le repas très bon. Seulement, on nous a fait embarquer sous un mauvais temps, avec énormément de vent et de nuages. Nous avons eu très froid durant toute l’excursion, ce qui nous a empêché de profiter, et de faire du snorkling. Je pense qu’il aurait été préférable de reporter ou d’annuler la sortie, car nous n’en gardons pas un très bon souvenir. Cependant, je pense qu’avec un beau temps, la sortie aurait pu être très bien. Mais c’est vraiment dommage de faire cette sortie avec le mauvais temps.”

“A comida do almoço estava muito boa e num sítio bonito. O transfer até à tour correu bem. Depois a viagem até à ilha foi confusa, queriam que fôssemos em Catamarã quando compramos speedboat. Combinaram as 12h irem nos buscar para o almoço e só apareceram às 12h40. Depois no regresso tivemos de aguardar 40minutos pelo transfer. Deviam organizar melhor a tour em si.”
