Very lovely excursion to the wonderful than Ile aux Cerfs including the possibility of snorkeling. Great with unlimited access to drinks on the boat and good grilled food at sea. The boat was very fresh with two toilets. Very nice staff who always made sure we were comfortable. The only thing I could skip is the detour to the waterfall, which you still didn't get close enough to see properly. I would rather have more time on Ile Aux Cerfs. I would definitely book the same excursion again if I return to Mauritius.

It was an amazing day on the catamaran! The staff was polite, kind, very friendly! They were there in every 10min to ask if we need anything. Free beverages during the trip! The catamaran itself was very clean. Food, which was cooked on the catamaran, was delicious and enough. The island itself is a nice one, but not spectacular. Snorkeling was one. We only missed the dolphins. All in all, perfect day!

Wonderful catamaran trip with a lovely crew. Stopping far out into the lagoon and snorkeling was a fantastic experience. Incredibly good BBQ lunch prepared on board was served. Pleasant and funny fellow travelers made the trip a highlight. The time we had on Ile aux Cerfs was delightfully beautiful!

A full day excursion with a very good atmosphere. The snorkelling was a very nice experience. The crew is very friendly and has a lot of knowledge.

Good evening Great day The crew takes great care of us We had a pleasant day We were able to have explanations throughout the day
