Choisissez entre une croisière paisible en catamaran ou une virée palpitante en hors-bord : les deux options vous mèneront vers une destination époustouflante et une journée que vous n’oublierez jamais. Une excursion île aux Cerfs à la journée avec de nombreuses activités île aux Cerfs à la clé.
Une croisière en catamaran à l'Île aux Cerfs est l'expérience insulaire mauricienne par excellence. Elle vous emmène à travers le lagon sud-est scintillant jusqu'au paradis insulaire le plus célèbre du pays. L'Île aux Cerfs est une île de carte postale, avec son sable blanc et fin, ses cocotiers penchés et ses eaux turquoise peu profondes. Y accéder en catamaran est une aventure en soi. La croisière d'une journée complète part de Grand River South East et commence par un bar ouvert avant de jeter l'ancre dans le plus grand lagon de l'île pour une pause snorkeling. L'itinéraire suit ensuite Grand River South East jusqu'à la cascade GRSE, où vous pourrez souvent apercevoir des singes et des chauves-souris frugivores géantes sur les berges. Un déjeuner barbecue fraîchement grillé est servi sur le pont avec des boissons à volonté. Vous disposerez ensuite de temps libre pour nager, bronzer ou vous essayer aux activités île aux Cerfs. Pour une option plus rapide, une excursion en hors-bord vers l'Île aux Cerfs part de Trou d'Eau Douce. Quel que soit votre choix, une excursion île aux Cerfs à la journée combine navigation, plongée avec tuba, repas et détente sur la plage.
L'Île aux Cerfs est de ces endroits qui donnent l'impression d'être dans une carte postale. Le sable blanc est si fin qu'il crisse sous les pas. L'eau est d'un turquoise si intense qu'elle semble retouchée. Les palmiers se penchent sur le rivage comme s'ils posaient pour un magazine de voyage.
Whether you prefer the laid-back rhythm of a catamaran with its open bar and sega music, or the adrenaline rush of a speed boat cutting across the lagoon at full throttle, the destination is the same — and so is the magic.

Two ways to reach the same paradise. Pick the one that matches your style.

The classic full-day cruise everyone talks about. A spacious 45-foot catamaran, snorkelling in the largest lagoon, a stop at the GRSE waterfall, BBQ lunch, unlimited drinks, and hours of beach time on the famous white sandbank.

For those who like their adventure with a side of adrenaline. Blast across the lagoon at high speed, feel the wind and spray, visit the GRSE waterfall, snorkel in crystal waters, enjoy a BBQ lunch on Ilot Mangenie, and spend free time on the legendary white sandbank.
Add an optional return hotel transfer and we'll confirm availability within 24 hours.
Both tours include the essentials for an incredible day. Specific inclusions vary slightly by vessel — see each tour page for full details.

The catamaran itinerary is shown below. For the speed boat schedule, visit the dedicated speed boat page.
South East Coast
Meet at the jetty in Grand River South East and step onto the 45ft catamaran. The crew welcomes you aboard. The open bar is already running, so grab a drink and settle in as the catamaran sets sail across the turquoise lagoon.
Admission Included
The catamaran anchors inside the island's largest lagoon for a snorkelling break. Grab the provided gear and jump in. The underwater world here is stunning, with superb corals and schools of brightly coloured tropical fish darting around you. It is the kind of snorkelling you will be talking about for weeks.
River Cruise + Lunch
After snorkelling, the catamaran cruises along the stunning east coast and enters the river mouth of Grande Riviere Sud Est. From the boat, you will see the waterfall cascading into the ocean and may spot the giant bat colony and monkeys on the river banks. Then it is time for the BBQ lunch, freshly prepared by the crew right on board. Chicken skewers, sausages, marinated fish, salads, and tropical fruit are served alongside unlimited drinks.
Free Time
The catamaran cruises through the canal between Ile aux Cerfs and the Anahita sanctuary before dropping you off on the famous white sandbank. This is the moment you have been waiting for. The beach here is postcard-perfect: pure white sand, swaying palm trees, and vivid turquoise water. Swim, sunbathe, or explore the island. You can also try various water sports activities available on the beach if you are feeling adventurous.
Sunset Sail
Re-board the catamaran for the sail back to the mainland. The crew keep the mood going with local sega music, a few more laughs, and drinks in hand. You arrive back at Grand River South East around 16:00 with a full camera roll, a sun-kissed glow, and memories that will last a lifetime.
A wide selection of food and drinks is available throughout the entire day. You will not go hungry, and you certainly will not go thirsty.
Vegetarian meals available on request. Please advise before booking.
Menu subject to change without prior notice.
Pack light, but pack smart. Here is what you will actually need for a comfortable day on the water and the beach.
Tip: Although snorkelling equipment is provided on the catamaran, you are welcome to bring your own mask and snorkel for comfort and fit. Speed boat passengers should bring their own gear for sanitary reasons.
Want the boat all to yourself? Whether it is a private family celebration, a romantic getaway, or a corporate group event, you can book either the catamaran or the speed boat on an exclusive basis. Enjoy personalised service, maximum privacy, and the freedom to set your own pace.
