Description

Begin your day with a scenic boat ride along the tranquil east coast, passing through beautiful mangrove-lined channels. These unique coastal ecosystems are home to a variety of birdlife and fish. Your guide may share interesting facts about the mangroves' role in protecting Mauritius’ shoreline and marine biodiversity. Stop at the Grand River South East (GRSE) Waterfalls, located at the mouth of the island’s longest river. As you approach by boat, hear the roar of water cascading over volcanic rock surrounded by lush forest. It’s a stunning sight and a great opportunity for photos or just soaking in the untouched beauty of Mauritius. Before heading to the island, enjoy a short snorkeling session in one of the sheltered lagoons. Equipped with your snorkeling gear (provided on board), dive into the crystal-clear waters to discover colorful coral, tropical fish, and peaceful marine life. The gentle current and shallow reef make it perfect for beginners and enjoyable for all experience levels. Finally, arrive at the stunning Île aux Cerfs, one of the most iconic destinations in Mauritius. The island is famous for its white sandy beaches, lagoon-blue waters, and relaxed island vibes. With its swaying palm trees, beach bars, and water sports activities, Île aux Cerfs offers something for everyone. Have ample time to explore the island, go for a swim, relax under the sun, or enjoy optional activities such as parasailing or beach games (optional and at extra cost). At lunchtime, be treated to a delicious BBQ-style lunch served right on the beach or in a shaded area on the island. The meal usually includes freshly grilled chicken, chicken sausages, fish, rice, salads, and seasonal fruits — with vegetarian options available upon request. Soft drinks, water, and local rum-based cocktails or beer are also provided. Dessert is Flambéed Banana. Enjoy your meal with the sound of the ocean in the background and the relaxed energy of island life all around you.
