Itinerary
This fantastic, fun-filled day begins with a snorkelling stop at Blue Bay. As your speedboat approaches the marine park, you will begin to understand why this beach is called Blue Bay: the water is a multitude of shades of blue. You will want nothing more than to put on your snorkeling gear and hop in the water to discover the abundance of colourful tropical fish, including the trumpet fish, diverse coral formations and other marine creatures that call this park home.
Pass by the famous Ile aux AIgrettes island, home to the last remnants of dry coastal forest, once found around most of Mauritius.
Then you will head off to Ile de la Passe and Ile au Phare (Lighthouse Island). From your boat, you will be able to view the ruins of old buildings, including a prison, dating back to 200 years! You will stop at Ile au Phare, also known as Ile aux Fouquets and have some time to visit the island, which is a photographer’s dream. It has an abandoned lighthouse, beautiful cliffs where you can see powerful waves crashing against the rocks, and you can come across many interesting and rare creatures such as lizards and tropical birds.
Pass by Ile de la Passe on your way to Ile aux Cerfs
You will then visit the Grand River South East waterfall, and on the way, see the curious monkeys jumping through the big old trees on the river banks if you’re lucky. You can see the Mauritian fruit bats resting perched on the highest trees as you approach the waterfall.
Next, you will proceed to the wild side of Ile aux Cerfs (Ilot Mangenie) for a delicious barbecue lunch (chicken, fish, sausage, garlic bread, salad, fruit), and drinks (including alcohol) After, head to the postcard-perfect side of Ile aux Cerfs where you can enjoy the golden beaches. There are other activities on the island that you can partake in.

James picked me up from my hotel for the tour. The car was very nicely decorated, clean! He was very nice and offered info about the island, other tours, and transport options. He made sure I got to the checkin table and made sure I knew where to meet after tour was done. Pick and drop off made easy thanks to James!👍
Hi, thanks so much for your review! We're happy you enjoyed the excursion, and the pickup/dropoff with James. We hope you are having a great stay in Mauritius!
Beautiful day and we saw everything including dolphins and turtle which is not obvious, friendly and helpful staff. I did not like the change of place for lunch, which was supposed to be at the island of deer .. where we stopped even 30 minutes .. and had lunch in a lagoon that already from the name is all say Second of all... it's fine that there was a round trip transfer, but spending over twice as much as others who were on excursions with us, came with their own means... seems exaggerated
Hi, thanks for your review and feedback. We'll follow up with the boat operatorregarding your comments on lunch.
I had the pleasure of using Bonjour Mauritius' services and their fantastic guide, San, during the 5 islands tour. San proved to be not only an excellent driver but also an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guide. His knowledge of Mauritius, its history, and culture was impressive. San shared stories about the different places we visited with such passion and enthusiasm that it was infectious! During the tour, I visited five unique islands, each offering an unparalleled experience. San ensured I had a beautiful weather and it it was so. I highly recommend Bonjour Mauritius and their exceptional guide, San, to anyone planning to visit Mauritius. This will be an unforgettable adventure that will stay in your heart forever! *Rating: 5/5 Stars* *Recommended:* Absolutely!
Thanks so much for your wonderful review! We're glad you enjoyed the 5 Islands trip as well as the transfer, and we hope you had/are having a great stay in Mauritius!
