4.6/5
563 reviews
Île aux Cerfs is a small island off the east coast of Mauritius. It is home to beautiful beaches in Mauritius, and it is said that if you haven't been to Île aux Cerfs, you haven't really been to Mauritius. The beautiful scenery where the sea meets the sky and the rich variety of water sports are particularly appealing. Island environment Île aux Cerfs features a beautiful lagoon with wide, calm waters and white, fine sand. It gets its name from the herds of deer that once waded across the bay. The island has beautiful scenery, with coconut trees and a plant called Filaos everywhere, and it is famous for its sandbank. Île aux Cerfs is not large and is surrounded by black reefs and lush vegetation. It is famous for its sandbank, where even non-swimmers can walk a few hundred m during low tide from Île aux Cerfs to its neighboring eastern island without worrying about being submerged. Walking on the sandbank, with the sunlight shining on the rippling water, it looks like a layer of sparkling crushed silver spread over the surface, or like crumpled green satin. You can experience the beautiful scenery of the blue sea and clear sky; it is very beautiful. Island visit tips and water sports To visit Île aux Cerfs, you can book a local day tour, which you can inquire about at your hotel. Tours generally depart from Trou d'Eau Douce. It takes about 20 minutes by boat to reach Île aux Cerfs. Once there, you can enjoy various water sports at your leisure, such as windsurfing, speedboating, glass-bottom boat tours, parasailing, diving, fishing, surfing, and banana boating. Of course, the main activities are swimming and enjoying the sun and sand. Other activities The small island of Île aux Cerfs also features an 18-hole golf course and two restaurants. Strolling around Île aux Cerfs, you can play in the water with your loved one or lie on the fine sand and enjoy a healthy sunbath.

It is also called "Blue Bay" because of its clear blue water. It is about 600 meters long and is a wide beach in Kenting National Park. There are many water activities, including sailing, jet skiing, banana boats, surfing, and other recreational projects. You can also play beach volleyball with friends. It is a famous diving resort. There are various corals, tropical fish, shellfish, sea lilies, etc. along the coast, and the underwater landscape is extremely beautiful.

The Natural Bridge is a natural attraction in Mauritius. There is no bus to reach it. The scenery of this attraction is spectacular, and you can see beautiful waves. You can walk on the Natural Bridge, but you have to walk slowly because the road surface is uneven.

There are abundant coral reefs and various marine fish under the sea in Blue Bay, Mauritius. It has always been a diving paradise. You can dive on your own or take a snorkeling trip on a glass-bottomed boat. For those who are afraid of diving, you can also enjoy the beautiful underwater world. This is a very good choice. You can give it a try.

🏝️ Ile aux Cerfs — A Little Piece of Paradise! Location: Off the east coast, MauritiusIf there's one place you absolutely cannot miss in Mauritius, it's Ile aux Cerfs! From the moment we stepped onto the speedboat from Trou d'Eau Douce, we knew we were in for something special. The boat ride across the turquoise lagoon was beautiful in itself — the water changes from deep blue to the most incredible shades of aquamarine and emerald green.The Waterfall — A Beautiful Surprise!On our way to the island, our boat made a wonderful stop at Grand River South East Waterfall — and honestly, it was one of the absolute highlights of the day! It's such a unique experience because it's one of the few waterfalls in the world that flows directly into the sea. We cruised gently up the river, surrounded by lush tropical greenery, and as we got closer, we could feel the cool mist on our faces. The sight of fresh water cascading dramatically into the ocean is just breathtaking — and keep an eye out for monkeys in the trees along the riverbanks, we were lucky enough to spot a few! 🐒 It's incredibly photogenic and feels like discovering a hidden gem deep in nature. Definitely don't book a tour that skips this!🌊 The BeachThe moment you arrive, it takes your breath away. Soft, powdery white sand that feels like walking on silk, and water so clear you can see the seabed even waist-deep. It's exactly what you picture when you dream of a tropical island 🏝️. My tip? Walk past the main jetty area — keep going a little further along the shore, and you'll find quieter spots that are just as beautiful.🚤 The ExperienceWe took a speedboat tour that included the waterfall stop, snorkelling, and a delicious BBQ lunch — fresh grilled fish, chicken, rice, salads, and tropical fruit. It was simple but so tasty, and eating with that view? Priceless. We stopped for snorkelling on the way too — the coral and colourful tropical fish were easy to see even just near t

Blue Bay Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches. It has blue sky and white clouds, and the most beautiful and delicate sand. It can really be described as a paradise on earth. It's amazing.

The volcanic terrain of Mauritius has created a natural landscape with a low mountain but strange shapes. The seven-colored soil in Chamarel was discovered by a Frenchman who was planting sugarcane fields here. Among the sugarcane fields here, only this piece of land is barren. After geologists went there to develop and study, this magical and magnificent seven-colored soil was revealed to the world.
