Such a great day!! - This was such a great day!! The pick up and drop off at the hotel was on time, the speed boat was so fun. This was a very well organised day. The undersea walk and BBQ lunch were the biggest highlights. At the BBQ lunch we had enough time to enjoy the food with lots of rum #morerum and swim after.

Worth visiting sea walk - plenty of colourful fishes to see and the coral reef were untouched - safe to use sea walk. - Staff very helpful and kept us calm when we were feeling nervous - highly recommended to do sea walk. A very experienced staff.

Fab day out - The underwater walking was amazing
The trip was good although a bit of organised chaos to start with getting on to boats and changing on to other ones as there were different types of activities
going on.
The buffet lunch was lovely sitting looking out to sea
All in all a great trip

Underwater hike standing, down up - The trip was good overall, great views, lovely experiences, the only thing you could have skipped was the underwater hike, you get off the boat for 5-7 minutes, you stand in the water, the guide takes a few photos, if you buy the SD card for 25 euros beforehand... the photos are not good quality, very distorted, you can skip them and that's it, back up again, far from the hike... We thought that you could maybe move around freely for a few meters with the guide of course... flop, profiteering... Otherwise everyone tried very hard and it worked out.

A good day out - Pick-up from the hotel was delayed, I think the driver was still at home when I got in touch with them. We got dropped off at the underwater walk place with very little explanation and walked to the beach to find no one. We eventually got told the boat will be coming soon. The experience itself was absolutely amazing and I can fully recommend it. The video and pictures are an additional 1500 Rupees and it’s on an USB stick.
We then got a speedboat to Isle of Cerfs where you can opt for additional activities at cost or sit at the bar- again not included. Or you can walk the beach- where I don’t get the hype, the water smells and it’s knee deep and slightly dirty. Anyway, 2 hours of time wasting here and some more delays for the boat pick-up. The ride to the waterfalls was awesome, the captain made sure speed boat experience exactly that- fast and super fast. Great snaps at the waterfalls where he took us as close as the boat went.
And then lunch- starter was garlic bread, rice and some potato salad. Then 1 piece of sausage, one chargrilled chicken thigh and some overcooked fish. Then a grilled banana. And some drinks, not unlimited as they run out of rum.
Overall it was an ok day but overpriced for what it was. It is cheaper to book locally.

A good day overall with great activities and transport. Communication on the day could be improved slightly. - The transport to and from the activities was excellent. We were taken first to the undersea walk where unfortunately we had to wait an hour as the business was not open. Communication through this activity was lacking somewhat but eventually we were taken out by boat and the undersea walk itself was fantastic.
The trip to Ile aux Cerfs was great, lots of things to do there including tubing, parasailing or just walking along the stunning beaches.
The afternoon BBQ was delicious and we were treated to some live music, however at that point we felt this part of the trip we could have done without. That's a personal preference however and no reflection on the staff that put it together.
The trip was quite costly for what it was and we subsequently found out that this trip could have been organised a lot cheaper through local reps, so something worth considering.

Undersea walk a disappointment, great BBQ lunch,fun speedboat ride - The speed boat was great fun, the BBQ lunch was excellent.
There was little to do on the Ile aux Cerf in the 2 hour period between landing and being collected again for lunch. Sadly, the information desk staff at the beach itself were particularly unhelpful and disinterested.
Lunch was very well organised, delicious and generous.
The undersea walk was a bit meh. The helmets were exceedingly heavy, there was no "walk" as such - we stood on the sea bottom and saw a few zebra fish that were attracted by food in a squeezy bottle total time less than 10 minutes.. We were nowhere near the reef and saw no other fish or any live corals. The staff were very upbeat and friendly.
We really enjoyed the speedboat and BBQ, but the rest was missable. There are other trips available that involve beach BBQs and more boat stuff - have a careful look!

Nice but not amazing considering the price - Overall a nice excursion.
The taxi that took us to the starting point and brought us back to the hotel was super friendly.
Deer Island was fortunately not overcrowded. We really liked the underwater ride with the diving suits. We were able to feed fish.
However, remember to bring your money because EVERYTHING costs money on site. Activities offered (if you don't do any, the time will be very long), deckchairs available to wait for the boats, sea urchins to enjoy during the meal...
The meal was okay but not amazing.
In short, the price is much too high for the service knowing that other people have paid less than €100 per head using another service provider.
I recommend the Northern Islands by catamaran which are much more heavenly
