Morning light slices across the lagoon as the 42-ft catamaran slips from Trou d’Eau Douce, sails filling with the easterly breeze that seems to push the island closer. The day begins with a short speedboat hop upriver to Grand River South East waterfall, where water negotiates a line of ancient boulders and fruit bats clamber in the canopy above. Back aboard, the catamaran threads into a shallow turquoise bowl where the reef waits—snorkelers drift over gardens of coral while colourful parrotfish and angelfish regard the visitors like curious neighbours.

After a snorkeling stop the crew serves a three-course BBQ lunch on deck with local rum and chilled drinks on a generous open-bar. Replenished, the vessel eases toward Île aux Cerfs, a palm-fringed barrier island where white sand takes over and options open: parasailing for a high view, tubing for a pulse-quick thrill, or a quiet beach walk. The itinerary typically runs 7–8 hours including hotel pick-up and return to most east-coast accommodations.
This excursion mixes light adventure with comfort—no technical skills required beyond basic swimming—but respect for the reef is essential. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and your own mask if you prefer a snug fit. Expect warm, humid weather and packed summer decks; mornings are calmer for photography and wildlife sightings. Whether you want active water sports or a relaxed beach day, the cruise delivers a practical, scenic introduction to Mauritius’s eastern lagoon and coastal culture.
