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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 62 reviews · 6 hours · from $55

Ride a speedboat from Trou d’Eau Douce to a river-mouth waterfall, Ile aux Cerfs beaches, and a barbecue lunch on Ilot Mangenie.

“L’excursion à l’Île aux Cerfs est globalement une belle expérience, mais il faut savoir que l’île est très touristique et un peu surcotée. Les plages sont jolies, mais ne correspondent pas forcément aux images de plages paradisiaques qu’on voit souvent sur les photos promotionnelles. La sortie jusqu’à la cascade est vraiment sympa, avec la présence de quelques singes qui ajoutent un petit côté sauvage à la visite. Le repas proposé était très bon, un vrai point positif de la journée. En revanche, l’organisation pour quitter l’île est un peu compliquée : il y a énormément de bateaux et de prestataires différents, ce qui rend parfois difficile de savoir exactement quelle…”

Swim with dolphins off Mauritius on a 150-minute speedboat trip from La Preneuse, with snorkeling, a guide, and small-group options.

“The captain made every effort to ensure each person had an opportunity to see the dolphins, he went the extra mile when there was one lady who didnt see the dolphins up close yet and allowed her another opportunity to jump in and she saw it. The guide was also guide and am excellent swimmer which put me at peace while in the water as I am not a strong swimmer.”

Review of Mauritius’ Île aux Cerfs speedboat tour, with mangroves, GRSE Waterfalls, beach time, BBQ lunch, drinks, and practical tips.

“Es war ein fürchterlicher Ausflug. Die Abfahrt sollte um 9:30 Uhr sein. Leider gab es für uns keinen Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Also fragten wir uns durch, wurden jedoch nur von einer Person zur nächsten weitergereicht. Gegen 10:20 Uhr wurde uns schließlich gesagt, wir sollten einfach bei irgendeiner Tour mitfahren, die wir überhaupt nicht gebucht hatten. Nachdem wir deutlich gemacht hatten, dass wir die Wasserfalltour nicht zum Spaß gebucht hatten, dauerte es weitere 20 Minuten, bis wir endlich losfuhren. Uns wurde ein Zettel in die Hand gedrückt, auf dem irgendetwas stand – das Gekritzel war jedoch nicht lesbar. Mit dem Speedboat ging es dann etwa fünf Minuten zur Insel. Dort wurden…”
