Île aux Cerfs

Ile aux Cerfs is located on the eastern side of the island and it’s a kind of semi-wild island that emerges from the sea and swamp. You can get there via a 15-minute motorboat ride from any of the piers in the area. We hopped on a glass-bottom boat and they took us directly to Ile aux Cerfs and we arrived nice and early when the island was almost empty. They welcomed us with a fruit juice and explained some of the local attractions, all available for a small fee, of course. The price of the tour included beach chairs and lunch at an Indian restaurant and since it was the last day of our trip, we decided to just take it easy, sunbathe, and wait for lunch. More and more catamarans began showing up and beach vendors came by hawking their goods.

I spent my honeymoon in Mauritius and I was very impressed by the beauty of its beaches, landscapes and especially the people, they are always friendly and willing to help. Here on Île aux Cerfs we hiked and had a really great time. We also swam in the water and enjoyed a barbecue on our boat, unforgettable!
