Trou d'eau Douce
45 min
Stop over at Fond blanc or Eau bleu for snorkelling. Out in the lagoon, immerse yourself in the crystal clear waters and snorkel among patches of staghorn coral, populated by minuscule fish and more odd-looking species, such as the elongated trumpet fish and the stunning coachmen, with its white dorsal fin. Swim under the watchful eye of the Océane Crew, who will equip you with a lifejacket or a lifebuoy if you should be uncomfortable in the water. Back on board, the barbecue grill gets going as lunch will be served shortly... and what a great lunch that is: fresh fish and chicken grilled to perfection and served with a selection of salads and a side of garlic bread. The scrumptious menu, attentive service of the crew and incomparable view gives a newfound meaning to the term paradise holiday.
Ile Aux Cerfs
90 min
Visit the island, relax and enjoy a cup of coffee.

A must-do
We highly recommend +++, the catamaran is human-sized, the snorkeling spot is great as well as Cerf Island (swimming, sunbathing, water activities). The grilled fish and chicken on the catamaran's barbecue were a delight. And a big thank you to Sergio and his Océane 4 team for their kindness, their availability, being helpful and taking such good care of my clients, we spent 5 hours out of time!!! Very far from mass tourism where everything is done in a rush, really do not hesitate.
Operator response
Bonjour,
Merci infiniment pour ce très beau retour ! Nous sommes ravis que la sortie vous ait autant plu — le spot de snorkeling, l'île aux Cerfs, et bien sûr le barbecue à bord. Nous transmettons votre message avec grand plaisir à Sergio et à toute son équipe, qui seront très touchés par vos mots. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à bord de nos catamarans.
Cordialement,

We could barely even eat.
It rained cats and dogs all day long. You cannot go on a boat excursion when it is raining. Very bad.
Operator response
Dear Sir, Mrs,
We're sorry to hear about your experience. However, we're unable to retrace this booking in our system, and we have no record of continuous rainfall on any day over the past month.
As a tropical island, Mauritius does carry some risk of rain, which is part of the experience — that said, all our boats on the East coast have a covered cabin. We'd love to hear more — please reach out directly.
Hope to welcome you on board on a sunnier day!
Best Regards,
Jean-Paul
