★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,922 reviews · 7 hours · from $110Our pick

Review of Mauritius’s Ile aux Cerfs catamaran trip with hotel transfer, snorkeling, waterfall visit, BBQ lunch, drinks, and beach time.

“Great trip. Was picked up and dropped off right from our hotel which was an hour and half drive. Good lunch on board, seen monkeys, waterfall and swimming spot to snorkel. Unfortunately we don’t have our own snorkel gear but be worth to bring it if you go. Would highly recommend. Our guides were amazing.”

See Blue Bay Marine Park by glass-bottom boat, then snorkel among tropical fish in clear, shallow water for a well-priced hour.

Informative, polite and humorous giving fair detail of the reef and fish. Easy snorkel which even the most inexperienced would enjoy. We were able to swim amongst smaller marine tropical fish, Michel's throwing of bits of food attracting fish. My 16 yr old daughter enjoyed the experience immensely. I am 65 and just a double knee arthroscopy 2 weeks ago and was still able to easily get on and off the boat. It was a pity to see how man's…”
