Your day begins at Trou d’Eau Douce, where you’ll be welcomed aboard a comfortable catamaran for a scenic cruise along Mauritius’ east coast. After boarding, we set sail across calm turquoise waters, with our friendly crew ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere on board. Sit back, enjoy the sea breeze, and soak in the island vibes as we cruise toward Île aux Cerfs, accompanied by light music and attentive service.
Next, we'll cruise up the longest river in Mauritius to witness the majestic GRSE Waterfall. Enjoy the spectacular view of this powerful cascade as it flows into the Indian Ocean, surrounded by lush, vibrant greenery. Keep an eye out for playful monkeys along the riverbanks!
We then sail into the crystal-clear lagoon, where the catamaran anchors at carefully selected spots for swimming and snorkelling. Explore vibrant coral reefs and tropical marine life in warm, shallow waters — perfect for all experience levels. After the water activities, enjoy a freshly prepared barbecue lunch served either on board or on the beach (weather permitting). A selection of unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks is available throughout the cruise, including soft drinks, juices, water, beer, wine, and local rum.
Next, we arrive at Île aux Cerfs, one of Mauritius’ most iconic islands. Known for its white sandy beaches and bright turquoise lagoon, the island offers the perfect setting to relax, swim, or explore at your own pace. For those seeking adventure, a range of optional water sports is available on the island (at an additional cost), including parasailing, tube rides, and underwater walking, offering breathtaking views of the lagoon and coastline.
In the late afternoon, we cruise back toward Trou d’Eau Douce, giving you time to unwind on deck and enjoy the final moments of this island escape. Drinks continue to be served on board as you relax with friends, family, or loved ones, reflecting on a day filled with sun, sea, and unforgettable scenery.
