5.00We enjoyed the whole dining experience. Ribs and pulled pork with all the sides were delicious. Peach cobbler knockout. Doc & Sue will be back!
What a day!

5.00Great catamaran experience! The boat was very clean, the staff friendly and professional, and it was fantastic to have a woman as our captain 👏. The BBQ was tasty, the rum punch and music created a great vibe, and the places we visited were absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended!
Decent, but not for families with kids (since drinks are served).

3.00On the first leg, it was awesome going to the locations. On the way back, I would say if you don't drink or are not young and super enthusiastic, this would not be suitable for you (families with kids). It was not the best trip going back, but other than that it was ok.
Brilliant day out, and superb value for money.

5.00Brilliant day on the Catamaran. A really engaged and fantastic crew, with great opportunities for swimming, sun bathing and an excellent barbecue lunch. The only negative is the 1 hour and a half on Il aux Cerfs, which to be honest a a bit of a grotty, overpriced tourist trap. It would be much better to find a quite beach or just stay aboard the catamaran and have a swim.
Unforgettable

ENJOYABLE CATAMARAN CRUISE

4.00Very enjoyable experience even though we felt the time spent on Ille Aux Cerf to short -especially if you do parasailing then there is NO time left to explore the island - maybe leave the fruitless trip to the waterfall as the big catamaran can not get close to the waterfall. We also found it a mission to find your agent Jonathan when we arrived at the departure point and he did not answer his phone neither to us or our taxi driver. As there is many people departing from the same place (but different agencies) maybe it is advisable to make your agent more visible for example with a TRIPADVISOR Tshirt or something else to make him stand out or easily recognizable
Mauritius Catamaran Excursion to Île aux Cerfs
Paula E,Dec 26, 2025
- Review from Viator
5.00This catamaran excursion was incredible. The water color and coastal views were unreal — honestly, no photo from my phone did it justice, no matter what filter I tried. It’s one of those places that just has to be seen in person. The vibe on board was perfect. We played music on the catamaran, which immediately set a fun, relaxed tone, and the crew kept the drinks and food flowing the entire time. It felt social, easygoing, and effortlessly enjoyable rather than staged or touristy. Between the scenery, the atmosphere, and how well everything was run, this was easily one of the highlights of Mauritius. If you’re even considering a catamaran day trip here, don’t overthink it — just do it.
Incredible experience, highly recommended

5.00We hired this catamaran for a private 50th birthday party, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing. The boat itself was fantastic - spacious, spotless, and perfect for celebrating with friends. The crew were incredible: friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure we all had an unforgettable time. A special mention has to go to the skipper, Riaz. He was super accommodating, warm, and full of great energy. He had everyone dancing throughout the cruise and made the whole experience feel relaxed, fun, and personal. We did stop at an Ile Aux Cerfs, which was lovely, but honestly, the cruise itself was the real highlight for us. The atmosphere on board, the music, the views, and the overall vibe made it truly special. Highly recommend this catamaran cruise for anyone looking to celebrate a milestone or just enjoy an incredible day on the water. We’ll be talking about this one for a long time!
