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.

Ile aux cerf - Lovely island, lovely waterfall and the beach bbq food was really nice and on a different part of the beach. You can explore the island or you can go parasailing or on a glass bottom boat or just enjoy

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.

Great trip - Picked up early by taxi driver.
Took to underwater walk location which was great - had over 15 mins and lots of fish.
Then to speed Boat for trip to Ile aux Cerfs where kids did a supplementary windsurf for 5 mins (2500r).
Then to beach for a basic BBQ - not at all bad - pretty tasty - “garlic” bread, potatoes, rice, 2 piece of chicken, some overcooked marlin, and BBQ banana with drinks.
Also tried a sea urchin for 200r extra.
Ride back to transfer was lots of fun as speedboat driver was going very fast and banking over 45 degrees!
It’s expensive but it’s a good experience- could have done without Ile aux Cerfs

Great day, Some improvements needed. - We enjoyed our trip and the guides were knowledgeable and informative. However, we were a little disappointed by the undersea walk as there was 1 instructor in the water that left you to get the other walkers which panicked a couple of the people on the experience. The people that walked around felt that there wasn’t much to look at and would have liked to have seen something different like some coral but it was all fish. Also the lunch on the island was not great! They should offer variety for vegetarians as there was only rice and bread. Where the bbq lunch was, there were no toilets and these should really be provided due to alcohol and drinks being given. Bit annoyed that no drinks were offered from after the undersea walk to the bbq. On previous trips, we have had water and soft drinks provided. The boat and taxi driver we both very good!
