Île aux Cerfs is a small island off the east coast of Mauritius.

The beautiful scenery where the sea meets the sky and the rich variety of water sports are particularly appealing.

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.

🏝️ 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
