6.5 Islands Private Speedboat w/ Snorkeling + Lunch & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 18 reviews · 9 hours

Take a private speedboat from Trou d’Eau Douce to five east-coast islands, Grand River South East waterfall, Blue Bay Marine Park, and Ile aux Cerfs. You’ll snorkel, see turtles and possible dolphins, feed monkeys, and enjoy a beach BBQ with drinks. Guide Anil earned special praise.

“The food on the island was good but thats about it. The all inclusive/ unlimited drinks and snacks fitted in a little cooler. They feed the monkeys with chips 👎We thought the guide/ driver would explain something along the tour or give us informations what's next but unfortunately he didn't speak much english. So most of our questions remained unanswered. We were very disappointed when the tour ended after only 5 hours at 2 p.m. We felt betrayed. It is not worth the money. We can't recommend this tour at all.”

7.GBaie: 3 North Islands Cruise, Lunch & CoindeMire Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 18 reviews · 7 hours · from $70Best value

Spend seven hours sailing from Mauritius to Ile Plate and Ilot Gabriel, with beach time, lagoon swimming, snorkeling near the islands and, weather permitting, Coin de Mire. A multilingual crew serves BBQ lunch and drinks aboard the catamaran. Bring your own snorkel gear and extra water.

“Beau catamaran bien entretenu mais le capitaine est arrivé en retard et parle mal à son équipage devant les touristes. Aucune explication sur l historique des 3 îles. De plus il y avait 12 catamarans en même temps ...niveau repas tout était expéditif. Aucune ambiance nous avons profité de la musique des autres bateaux. Le snorkeling a été effectué à la demande d une paasagere VIP chère au capitaine. Par contre au moment de l arrivée la musique a été mise à fond pour attirer l attention et voire de potentiels participants. Activité decevante”
