The catamaran slips away from Trou d’Eau Douce just as the sea takes on a blue that challenges your memory of the word. Salt and engine hum mix with laughter; palms on the shore lean like onlookers. The boat threads the lagoon toward Île aux Cerfs, the sky bright, the water daring you to dive in.

The catamaran slips away from Trou d’Eau Douce just as the sea takes on a blue that challenges your memory of the word. Salt and engine hum mix with laughter; palms on the shore lean like onlookers. The boat threads the lagoon toward Île aux Cerfs, the sky bright, the water daring you to dive in.
East Mauritius bears layers of volcanic history: offshore islets and shallow lagoons sit atop an older basalt backbone carved by rivers. Grand River South East waterfall drops through a verdant gorge, a sudden vertical punctuation in an otherwise low-lying coastal plain — locals long used the riverine corridors for travel and trade, and today fishermen and vendors keep island hospitality immediate and informal.
Expect a day that combines water and shore: guided snorkeling over coral gardens, a Mauritian barbecue served on sand, and time for sun and swims on the islet’s beaches. The waterfall stop adds a short shoreline visit and photos — the falls are best seen after recent rain when river volume pushes the curtain wider.
Practical notes: the trip is full-day (about eight hours) with transfers from central eastern hotels, snorkeling gear provided, and unlimited beverages on board. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light wind layer for the open boat, and water shoes for rocky approaches at the waterfall. Time your booking for calmer seas—mornings often offer clearer water and less chop. Keep valuables dry in a ziplock or small dry bag; phone shots through a waterproof case capture the lagoon’s turquoise without risk.
On balance it’s an accessible, social day afloat — low exertion, high daylight and shore variety, ideal for travelers wanting swim, snorkel and a taste of coastal Mauritius in one outing.
Yes—basic snorkel masks and fins are included, but you may bring your own for a custom fit.
This is an approximately 8‑hour, full-day trip: pickup, catamaran cruise, waterfall stop, BBQ lunch on Île aux Cerfs, snorkeling, and free time on the islet.
Hotel pickup from east-coast locations is included; confirm your pickup point when booking and allow time for shared transfers.
Yes—activity is low-impact and suitable for children; non-swimmers can stay aboard or use lifejackets during snorkeling and stops.
