Catamaran - Ile aux cerfs - We had an absolutely amazing day on the catamaran trip to Île aux Cerfs — easily one of the highlights of our time in Mauritius! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and stress-free.
The crew were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and fun, with great music, stunning ocean views, and plenty of drinks flowing throughout the day.
The sailing itself was breathtaking — crystal-clear turquoise water, beautiful coastline views, and even a stop for snorkeling where we got to see colorful fish in calm, shallow waters. It truly felt like a tropical paradise. Many travelers mention how peaceful and scenic the lagoon is, making it perfect for swimming and relaxing .
The BBQ lunch on board was delicious and freshly prepared, with a great variety of food and drinks. Everything exceeded expectations!
Arriving at Île aux Cerfs was the cherry on top — white sandy beaches, warm shallow water, and plenty of time to relax or enjoy water activities. It’s such a beautiful spot and definitely a must-visit when in Mauritius.
Overall, this experience was worth every penny — a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and stunning scenery. I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone visiting Mauritius and would do it again without hesitation!

Great experience - We were picked up at our hotel on time in the morning. Our taxi driver was super gasoline and gave us a lot of information about the island.
The tour itself also started on time and we first got a coffee. Then we drove to the waterfall. Although the tourist boats crowd here, the view was still worth it. The tour was really fun for us and we would book it again anytime.

Not as described - The Mauritiusan Way - all the way.
we were scheduled to start at 09AM and thus collected at our apartment at 715AM. The driver was very kind and it was a smooth and beautiful ride.
When we arrived no one was around and the “checkin” office barely open, and not very welcoming. The boat was still getting prepared she said. We left the shore at 1030AM !!!!!! 1,5 hour we had hoped/expected to use at the beach or in the water snorkeling. Ile aux Cerfs is beautiful and we had a good time. The catamaran was ok, the food they cooked/grilled onboard was okay. The music onboard was terrible and too loud. The snorkeling equipment mentioned we could borrow needs attendance and did not work completely.
Free drinks worked as long as they had some, and the afternoon snack was not existing.
At the end of the tour we were taken to see the waterfall, it was beautiful.
We had a good day, we ✔️✔️ some wishes from our list, but the described trip is not what you get.

Disappointing - We weren’t collected from our hotel as promised. We had to get a taxi and arrange this last minute (they did pay for this). On our return we waited 1 hour to be collected. We were forgotten about. The boat in the picture is a lie! I’m surprised the boat we went on is still afloat! It was in a terrible state. Food was ok. Music loud. Crew smoking weed off the back of the boat. No running water to wash your hands after using the toilet. Rubbish snorkelling location and strong waves so difficult to swim. The crew did look after us. Constantly asking us if we wanted drinks and they helped us get home, the tour advisor was no help. I wouldn’t recommend this trip. Sorry. Just drive to the harbour and book directly with locals.

No catamaran… - When we boarded the crowded speedboat at the dock, we assumed it was a tender out to one of the near-anchored catamarans. By the time we realized there was no catamaran in store for us, it was too late. We wanted a lazy day of chilling on a sailboat, not a day sitting in front of two noisy motors, clinging to our things, at the mercy of a hotdogging captain doing donuts and cutting off other boats. The company recognized their error, but offered us no compensation, simply implying that our speedboat tour was very popular so we should have enjoyed it. We did not, and now feel like a day of our vacation got squandered by the company’s incompetence.
