• 5A day in paradise

  What a tour. So beautiful. We went in their winter, so it was not very crowded. Underwater walk was fun but again we were only 5 of us, so not sure how does it feels when crowded. Water was bit chilly but we didn’t mind. Lunch was delicious overall, tons of fun,

• 3Undersea 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!

• 5Such 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.

• 4Fab 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

• 5Worth 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.

About Trou d'Eau Douce

Trou d'Eau Douce is a fishing village on Mauritius's east coast, the usual departure point for boats to Île aux Cerfs and its lagoon.

Trou d'Eau Douce is a small fishing village on the east coast of Mauritius, facing a wide lagoon sheltered by a coral reef. Fishing boats and launches sit along the shore, and a short strip of restaurants and shops looks onto the water. Sugar cane fields stretch inland. The east coast catches the trade winds, so the air is breezier and often cooler than on the west coast.
