Mauritius: Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to the Northern Isles

2.Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to the Northern Isles

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,798 reviews · 8 hours · from $82

Cruise Mauritius’ Northern Isles by catamaran with snorkeling, white-sand beaches, a BBQ lunch, and a chance to spot turtles or dolphins.

“The trip was great, the guides and crew were all friendly and warm, the islands were amazing. Just be aware that the trip from the mainland to the islands themselves can get quite rough, so you may prefer to sit in the back on the seats, rather than the netting up front where you're more exposed to the sea. We were sat up front and a few waves smashed directly into us. It was quite fun actually but quite rough too, so you'd just want to be aware of that.”

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

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

Cruise Mauritius lagoons to GRSE waterfalls and Ile aux Cerfs with snorkeling, BBQ lunch, drinks, music, and a friendly crew.

“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.”

We swam and were able to snorkel if we wanted to. After we got back on the boat we got a BBQ which was very good and then headed back to the main island. all in all it was a super nice day, well organised and very friendly people”

Mauritius: Catamaran Cruise to Ile aux Cerfs with BBQ Lunch

13.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.”
