Admire the waterfalls from the water, then continue to calm, turquoise water for a swimming break and a snorkel, with equipment included. A delicious BBQ is then served on board.

Good to know
Ile aux Cerfs, the deer island: its name means "deer island", although there are no deer on it today. It covers about 87 hectares and can only be reached by boat.
Where river meets ocean: at the mouth of the Grand River South East, the current meets the tide and forms impressive ravines and a spectacular waterfall. The river is the longest in Mauritius.
A village named for fresh water: Trou d'Eau Douce means "fresh water hole". Dutch ships stopped here in the 17th century to take on fresh water.
