Île aux Cerfs Catamaran Tour
Book Now | Call Us
Some excursions are simply about reaching a destination. A catamaran tour to Île aux Cerfs offers something different, the journey itself becomes an essential part of the day.
Departing from Trou d’Eau Douce, this full-day cruise includes a visit to the GRSE Waterfall, a snorkeling stop, lunch and free time on Île aux Cerfs before returning in the afternoon.
Departure is at 9:00 AM, with a return at approximately 3:00 PM. The tour is available as either a shared or private experience and welcomes a maximum of 30 guests.
Your Day Begins in Trou d’Eau Douce
Your excursion starts in the coastal village of Trou d’Eau Douce, the main departure point for trips to Île aux Cerfs.
Once on board, the catamaran heads across Mauritius’ largest lagoon. Rather than rushing to the destination, the cruise allows you to enjoy the changing scenery as the coastline gradually gives way to open lagoon views.
With a maximum capacity of 30 passengers, there’s plenty of room to move around the deck, relax and enjoy the pace of the journey.
First Stop: GRSE Waterfall
The first highlight of the day is the Grande Rivière Sud-Est (GRSE) Waterfall.
Accessible only by boat, this freshwater waterfall creates a striking contrast with the surrounding lagoon and offers a glimpse of Mauritius’ lush interior.
After this stop, the cruise continues towards the snorkeling area.
Snorkeling on the Lagoon
Your next stop is dedicated to snorkeling.
It’s an opportunity to discover part of the lagoon before continuing towards Île aux Cerfs.
Snorkeling equipment is subject to confirmation depending on the selected tour. We recommend checking this detail when booking.
Lunch on Board
Lunch is served during the excursion and is included in both the shared and private tours.
There’s no additional meal supplement to consider, allowing you to simply enjoy the rest of your day.
Time on Île aux Cerfs
After arriving on the island, you’ll have free time to explore at your own pace.
Whether you prefer walking along the beach, swimming or simply relaxing by the lagoon, this part of the excursion gives you the freedom to enjoy the island before returning to the mainland.
Return to Trou d’Eau Douce
In the afternoon, the catamaran sails back to Trou d’Eau Douce, arriving at around 3:00 PM.
The return journey completes a day built around several distinct experiences: sailing, visiting the GRSE Waterfall, snorkeling, lunch and time on Île aux Cerfs.
That’s what makes this excursion more than just transportation.
Shared or Private Tour
The excursion is available as either:
- a shared cruise with up to 30 guests;
- a private charter reserved exclusively for your group.
Private tours are quoted individually according to your requirements.
Is This the Right Tour for You?
Choose the catamaran if you’d like the cruise itself to be part of your day.
