Hop aboard our speedboat and experience the excitement as you glide over the waves toward five stunning islands along the east coast! This adventure is perfect for thrill-seekers.
Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in the northern region of Mauritius, and set off on an exciting speedboat trip to explore the southeast coast and its stunning nearby islands—all in one day.
Your tour will take you to the iconic Île aux Cerfs, the pristine cascade of Grande River South East, Île aux Phares, and Île de la Passe, where you’ll uncover fascinating glimpses of Mauritius’ colonial history. Île aux Phares, home to a lighthouse over 200 years old, now a declared historical monument, was the site of the famous naval battle of Grand Port in 1810—a key victory for the Napoleonic Navy, commemorated on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Aside from its rich history, the islands offer stunning natural beauty. Experience the breathtaking contrast of the calm, turquoise lagoon on one side and the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean on the other as they break against the island’s shore.
Next, enjoy a swim at Île aux Aigrettes, before heading back to Île aux Cerfs, where a delicious lunch awaits. Take the time to relax, sunbathe, or wade in the crystal-clear waters before the speedboat returns you to Trou d’Eau Douce.
To round off the day, you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation, making this a hassle-free and unforgettable experience.”
