Highlights
  • Trou d’eau Douce - Embark on a private full-day trip to Ile Aux Cerf, starting with a complimentary hotel pick-up from any location on Paradise Island. You’ll be welcomed by our certified guide and, after boarding your comfortable vehicle, head to Trou D’eau Douce, a charming fishing village on Mauritius’ East Coast.
  • Grand River South East Waterfalls - During your cruise, you’ll visit the Grand River South-East Waterfalls, a unique spot where land meets sea. The speed boat will navigate the waterfall’s canal, offering a stunning view of the Grand River South East Waterfalls. The surrounding wild flora is spectacular, with monkeys often seen playing in the trees near the falls, accustomed to human presence.

If you’re fortunate, you might spot curious monkeys leaping through the ancient trees along the riverbanks. Look out for Mauritian fruit bats resting in the tallest trees as you approach the waterfall.

  • Ile aux Cerfs - Cruise the crystal-clear lagoon waters from the shore, with plenty of swimming and snorkeling spots. Depending on the tides, the boat skipper may stop at a picturesque location, allowing you to explore the underwater marine life and swim among vibrant corals and tropical fish.

The main attraction of this high-speed cruise is a visit to the renowned Ile aux Cerfs island. As you near the island by speed boat, you’ll see swaying palm trees and pristine white beaches surrounded by vivid turquoise waters. You’ll have free time to relax on the beach, take a stroll, swim in the lagoon, snorkel, or enjoy water sports activities available on the island (additional cost).

  • Ile aux Cerfs - Around noon, savor a delicious BBQ lunch, typically featuring Chicken BBQ and Fish BBQ with sides and salads, including garlic bread. If you’re a vegetarian, please inform us in advance, and we’ll arrange a vegetarian BBQ lunch for you. Enjoy a complimentary selection of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks during lunch.

While dining, you’ll be entertained with traditional sega dance, live music, and other performances. An open bar will offer a wide range of unlimited drinks, and the crew will prepare the famous banane flambe dessert for you.

Simply outstanding - We wholeheartedly recommend FreshVerde Holidays to anyone who wants an “out of this world” experience in what probably is the best part of Mauritius. Organisation and transfer were perfectly organised and on time, the boat trip was simply magical (and Blue Bay with its coral reefs is the dream for those who love snorkelling) and everyone was friendly, professional and taught us a lot about this incredible island. We’re going home knowing we couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Have done better trips - Pre visit comms confusing - told 7 pick up then 0845, then called at 0800 for collection. Transfer fine, met speedboat but no introduction to the driver. Quick whizz to the waterfalls, stopped very briefly as other parties had seen some monkeys. Dropped at Isle Aux Cerfs with a pick up of 1230. No sign of the boat, eventually told another one would take us for lunch. 5 min trip to lunch - which was very good. But, collection scheduled for 2 1/2 hrs later - sat on plastic chairs, very little shade or anywhere to sit out. Asked to be collected early so dropped back at the jetty by 14:30. Just not worth the money unfortunately- we have done similar trips on catamarans and thought a speed boat might be nicer. No stopping for swimming or snorkelling. One good thing was the taxi driver Roshan who was fabulous 😎

Avoidable - Rude and unprofessional tour operator. Ile aux cerfs is not at all what it used to be. Really disappointed.

Better play the money at roulette you save some time! - If u imagine a boat that is rushing to take you to places while doing other trips for others as well then this is it. Nothing that say it is included is really... everything is a joke for the money you pay and the so called services they offer... You have no water. You have no special snorkeling. They pick you up on one point and drop you off in another where you have to walk into small beach jungle so that you can reach the road. The lunch was terrible took over 1 hour to serve some chicken and we were afraid to eat the fish when we saw that there is no fridge and they keep the cut fish in the sea by the shore! Of corse there is no "wide selection" of alcohol they tried to give us beer and the children had one sprite and that's it! Simple water was absent the entire trip! On the island were there was the dinner there is no bathroom. We stayed there 4 hours while the boat was making other non private trips for other tourists - private boat tour has a new meaning and tripadvisor supports this! They shouldn't be allowed to post excursions!
