Sail a luxury catamaran to the private island paradise of Île aux Cerfs, then cruise to the jaw-dropping optical illusion of Mauritius's 'underwater waterfall' — one of the Indian Ocean's most surreal and Instagrammed natural wonders.
What to expect
Depart from Grand Baie or Mahébourg marina aboard a sleek catamaran stocked with snorkel equipment and a full open bar. Anchor at Île aux Cerfs for swimming over vivid coral gardens. The boat then skirts the southwestern coast to drift above the sand-and-silt cascade of Le Morne — breathtaking from the deck and unforgettable from a drone (if you carry one). A chef-prepared seafood BBQ is served at anchor before the sail back.
Good to know
Transfer from Port Louis cruise terminal to Grand Baie marina is ~45 minutes by taxi. Confirm departure marina with Mautourco at booking as it varies by itinerary. Half-day private charter runs ~5–6 hours. Bring reef-safe sunscreen — biodegradable only, enforced on board. Book 2–3 weeks ahead for private dates.
