About the experience
Step back in time and experience Mauritius from the water as it was meant to be seen—aboard a charming traditional boat.
This full-day adventure takes you to five spectacular stops in the southeastern lagoon, blending natural beauty, cultural heritage, and moments of pure relaxation.
From untouched islets to crystal-clear snorkeling spots and a beachside picnic, this tour is the perfect way to connect with the island’s wilder side in comfort and style.
Your journey begins at Pointe d’Esny, where you'll step aboard our boat designed for peaceful sailing across the shallow turquoise waters.
The first stop is Île au Phare, an uninhabited island crowned by a historic lighthouse and offering breathtaking views of the ocean and nearby reefs.
You'll then sail past the protected sanctuary of Île aux Aigrettes, where your guide will explain its critical role in local conservation efforts. A stop for snorkeling in a calm, coral-rich area lets you discover colorful marine life up close before heading to your final destination: Île aux Cerfs.
There, under the shade of casuarina trees, it's time to relax on the soft sand, swim, or explore the shoreline. Throughout the day, the pace is gentle and flexible, letting you soak up the beauty and stories of each island without the rush.
What sets this tour apart is its authentic character. Rather than speeding from one attraction to the next, this experience is rooted in connection—to nature, to local history, and to a simpler, slower way of exploring.
Ideal for families, couples, or small groups, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy Mauritius beyond the typical tourist trails, all while embracing the charm of traditional island life.

Translated from German
A fantastic experience! A wonderful tour with a visit to the old lighthouse, a fish farm, and a waterfall. We also booked lunch on Ile aux Cerfs. Afterward, we had a fantastic snorkeling tour. We were lucky enough to see giant tortoises and dolphins. At the waterfall, we were able to feed monkeys from the boat. Our skipper, Luca, was super nice and very knowledgeable about the boat. The whole family was absolutely thrilled. There were five of us on the boat and we had plenty of space. Highly recommended!
