2.Ile aux Cerfs Speedboat Tour with Lunch & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 41 reviews · 6 hours · from $65

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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 25 reviews · 6 - 7 hours · from $69

Review of Mauritius’ Ile aux Cerfs catamaran trip, with waterfall visit, snorkeling, barbecue lunch, open bar, price tips, and practical advice.

“Stayed in Grand Baie area and opted for the pick-up. Pick-up was with (Yash) Mauritius Taxi, who was very friendly and communicated prior about times. Arrived at the dock, and we're transported from speed boat onto the catamaran. We were offered a range of drinks throughout the trip, from soft drinks, beers & wine. We sailed for around an hour, and stopped off for 20 mins to snorkel and swim, we managed to see dolphins. We then sailed to near the waterfall and we're transported for 10-15 mins on a speed boat to the waterfall and saw monkeys. We had a BBQ style lunch, which was delicious. Choice of chicken…”

7.5 Islands Private Speedboat w/ Snorkeling + Lunch & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 18 reviews · 9 hours · from $498

Review of Mauritius’ private 5-island speedboat tour with snorkeling, waterfall, BBQ lunch, open bar, and practical tips on value.

“The food on the island was good but thats about it. The all inclusive/ unlimited drinks and snacks fitted in a little cooler. They feed the monkeys with chips 👎We thought the guide/ driver would explain something along the tour or give us informations what's next but unfortunately he didn't speak much english. So most of our questions remained unanswered. We were very disappointed when the tour ended after only 5 hours at 2 p.m. We felt betrayed. It is not worth the money. We can't recommend this tour at all.”

“L’équipe est hyper sympathique aux petits soins. Soucieux du moindre détail. Les boissons sont vraiment à volonté ( alcool ou pas). Le repas au barbecue sur le bateau est excellent. Bref rien à redire. Le capitaine a même fait un stop et un petit détour pour suivre les animaux qu’on a croisé ( dauphin, 2 raies et un banc de calamar: ils ont tenté d’en pêcher un mais pas de chance !) C’était génial allez y les yeux fermés !!!”

Cruise Mauritius’s east coast to Ile aux Cerfs, with snorkeling, waterfalls, a barbecue lunch, and practical tips on what to expect.

“Passez votre chemin si vous souhaitez visiter principalement l’île aux cerfs. Bateau rafistolé de partout avec manque de place pour tous être abrités du soleil. Le temps laissé pour visiter l’île était d’1h30 et le passage à la cascade de 3min. Pas de plongée mais surtout de l’attente car ils font un point d’arrêt très très long pour vendre à travers l’un de leur partenaire du parachute ascensionnel et de la bouée. Alcool à volonté pour faire passer l’arnaque…”
