🌴 Itinerary – What’s Included in the 5 Island Boat Trip
The tour starts at around 8:30 AM and ends by 3:30 to 4:00 PM, covering some of the east coast’s most iconic and lesser-known islands.
🛥️ Departure from Trou d’Eau Douce
Meet your skipper and crew at the jetty, where you’ll hop aboard a fast and comfortable speedboat. After a warm welcome, we head straight across the lagoon toward our first destination.
🌊 Grand River South East Waterfall
Cruise inland through mangrove-lined channels to find the GRSE Waterfall, one of the most beautiful natural sites on the east coast. Cameras out! You may even spot monkeys or fruit bats in the surrounding forest.
🏝️ Ile aux Phares (Lighthouse Island)
Next stop is Ile aux Phares, a small island with a colonial-era lighthouse and amazing panoramic views. You’ll walk along sandy paths and rocky outcrops, learning about Mauritius’s maritime history.
🏰 Ile de la Passe
Just a few minutes away is Ile de la Passe, an island filled with ancient stone ruins from the 1800s. A guide will show you around the remnants of military structures, still standing strong amid the wind and waves.
🏖️ Ile aux Flamants
Now it’s time for something truly tranquil — Ile aux Flamants, a sandbank paradise surrounded by shallow blue water. It’s a top spot for swimming, chilling on the boat, or snorkeling in calm clear seas.
🐠 Snorkeling Stop near Ile aux Aigrettes
Near the marine reserve of Ile aux Aigrettes, you’ll stop at a vibrant coral reef. Jump in with snorkeling gear and discover a tropical underwater world full of colorful fish. Non-swimmers can relax with a drink on deck.
🍽️ Lunch & Free Time on Ile aux Cerfs
The last island — and always a favorite — is Ile aux Cerfs. Here, you’ll enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch on the beach under the trees. Expect grilled fish, chicken, sausages, fresh salads, garlic bread, and fruits, with unlimited drinks (including beer, wine, rum, and softs).
