Trou d'Eau Douce: Southeast Coast Island Adventure

1. Trou d'Eau Douce: Southeast Coast Island Adventure

Embark on a trip to the Blue Bay by speedboat and visit the entirety of Mauritius' southeast coast and the nearby islands in one day. The tour includes not only a visit to the famous Ile aux Cerfs island and the pristine cascade of the Grande River South East, but also to Ile aux Phares and Ile de la Passe, providing an opportunity to learn a bit of the history of Mauritius in the colonial period. The site of Ile aux Phares is where, as the name suggests, an old lighthouse dating back more than 200 years stands, now declared a historical monument. In 1810, Ile aux Phares and Ile de la Passe were the theater of a battle between the French and the British, known as the naval battle of Grand Port, which is the only victory of the Napoleonic Navy and is also listed on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. In addition to the historic aspect of the islands, you will be made privy to a striking sight within the water. The contrast between both sides of the island is breathtaking: on one side you will find the lagoon turquoise and calm, and on the other, the big waves of the Indian Ocean smash against the breakers of the island. You will then go to Ile aux Aigrettes for a swim then back to Ile aux Cerfs, where lunch will be served. Relax and sunbathe or just chill out on the beach or in the crystal clear water of Ile aux Cerfs before returning to the meeting point in Trou d'Eau Douce.

What people are saying about Trou d'Eau Douce

Apart from the toilets, whose cleanliness leaves something to be desired, the boat is very nice, the team, led masterfully by Marie, is dynamic and smiling. The lunch is good and plentiful, the landscapes sumptuous however if you are looking for the beauty of the seabed, it is not here that you will be able to marvel at the colorful corals and the excessive fish. Ile aux Cerfs beach is pretty but the island is crowded and very touristy. Damage. I leave 5/5 for the smile and the sega of the crew!

Well organised trip with super friendly staff, good food (bbq on the boat). We were together with a bunch of local people who had great time and dancing on the boat.

the day spent on the catamaran was great. Reception, landscapes, snorking with exotic fish, barbecue lunch on the catamaran, white sand beach… super!!!

The trip was absolute beauty. Our captain Rajiv is an excellent guide and a great person. Thank you Tino boats for the unforgettable experience.

Event was carried out as described. price is reasonable. We would book the tour again and recommend it.
