Southeast Coast Boat Tours
Five Islands tours, Blue Bay Marine Park snorkelling and Île aux Aigrettes — the unspoiled southeast of Mauritius.
The Wild, Untouched Southeast
The southeast coast of Mauritius — around Mahébourg, Blue Bay and Pointe d'Esny — is where the island feels most authentic. Its calm, protected lagoon shelters Blue Bay Marine Park, a snorkeller's paradise of healthy coral and tropical fish, while offshore lies Île aux Aigrettes, a protected nature reserve home to the rare pink pigeon and giant tortoises.
The flagship day out here is the Five Islands tour, a full-day speedboat adventure that visits multiple islands with wild dolphin watching and a BBQ lunch. It pairs naturally with a visit to Île aux Cerfs, a short drive north to Trou d'Eau Douce.

Southeast Coast FAQs
What is there to do on the southeast coast?
The southeast is home to Blue Bay Marine Park, one of the island’s best snorkelling spots, and Île aux Aigrettes, a protected nature reserve. The Five Islands tour combines several of these highlights in one full-day trip.
Where do southeast tours depart from?
Most depart from Blue Bay or Mahébourg. We can arrange a hotel transfer to the departure jetty from anywhere on the southeast coast.
Is snorkelling good in the southeast?
Yes — Blue Bay Marine Park is famous for its healthy coral and abundant tropical fish, and is a highlight of the Five Islands tour.
Can I combine a southeast tour with Île aux Cerfs?
Île aux Cerfs is a short drive north to Trou d’Eau Douce. Many visitors do the southeast on one day and Île aux Cerfs on another — both can be booked with us.
