Itinerary
Our first stop will Our first stop will be at the iconic Ile aux Cerfs Island for a 2-hours visit. We will then head to Grand River South East to enjoy the view of a waterfall that flows into the Indian Ocean.
Also known as Ile aux Fouquets, Ile Phare was amongst the first ones to be discovered in 1598 by the Dutch settlers. L'Ile Phare bears its name by virtue of a lighthouse built in 1864, which was still operational until beginning of the 20th century. Historically, Ile au Phare, situated within the bay of Mahébourg has fulfilled a strategic purpose during the naval battles at Grand Port.
After your snorkeling, we will pass by to Ile aux Aigrettes shore for some refreshments. Ile aux Aigrettes is an islet off the south-east coast of Mauritius. It functions as a nature reserve and a scientific research station. It is also a popular visitors attraction - both for tourists and for Mauritians. Please note that access and visit of the island is NOT included in this tour.
You will have your snokelling session between Blue Bay and Île aux Aigrettes or near Ilot Mangenie (depending on weather conditions and coral breeding season).
Ile de la Passe is a rocky islet in the bay off Grand Port on the island of Mauritius. Between 20 and 25 August 1810, during the British campaign to capture the island (then called Isle de France) from the French, it was the scene of the Battle of Grand Port. This was a long and very hard-fought action between roughly equal forces of French and British frigates and, on balance, a defeat for the British, who lost four frigates, though one of these was subsequently recaptured. The French squadron did not survive the British invasion of Mauritius!Attractions on the Ile aux Phares/ Ile aux Fouquets/ Lighthouse Island: Grand River South East Waterfalls
You will have your lunch and drinks at Îlot Mangenie, a small island just next to Île aux Cerfs Island.

Really enjoyable experience across the multiple stops that luckily included dolphin and sea turtle sightings. Guide was fantastic, while food was brilliant. Highly recommended.

Average experience, guide had a bit of attitude.. while guests are expected to follow decorum, but the messaging can be a bit warm and friendly.. Service levels were at “bare minimum acceptable” levels.. food served during lunch was very very average.. Only positive was the country is beautiful and you can’t go wrong wherever you go!
Thank you for your feedback. We hope to serve you better next time!
Wow, what a fantastic day trip. From the moment you get on board the rum and music flows, our pilot was on the ball, brought everyone together, very knowledgeable, funny and very capable with the speedboat, and generous with the rum. The food was amazing, we had the lobster which is extra but worth it.seen all the East coast definitely a must .5 star.

We booked with Chris at the hotel, but the real stars of our trip were Georgia and Kenny. They were fantastic and made you feel welcome, gave us lots of information and played great music along the way.

It was a really nice day on the speedboat, we got to se a lot of things and we had a great, happy and friendly skipper. Fair price as well. -The music on the boat was a little loud but that's the only thing we would be able to point a finger at. Can highly recommend this trip.
