Trou d'eau Douce
Stop over at Fond blanc or Eau bleu for snorkelling. Out in the lagoon, immerse yourself in the crystal clear waters and snorkel among patches of staghorn coral, populated by minuscule fish and more odd-looking species, such as the elongated trumpet fish and the stunning coachmen, with its white dorsal fin. Swim under the watchful eye of the Océane Crew, who will equip you with a lifejacket or a lifebuoy if you should be uncomfortable in the water. Back on board, the barbecue grill gets going as lunch will be served shortly... and what a great lunch that is: fresh fish and chicken grilled to perfection and served with a selection of salads and a side of garlic bread. The scrumptious menu, attentive service of the crew and incomparable view gives a newfound meaning to the term paradise holiday.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trou d'Eau Douce.
How much does Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Trou d'Eau Douce usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Trou d'Eau Douce is not rushed.
Is Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 71 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Trou d'Eau Douce, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Trou d'Eau Douce can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Trou d'Eau Douce and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Trou d'Eau Douce within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Trou d'Eau Douce?
+
On Outty we rank every Trou d'Eau Douce experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mauritius full day : Private north tour, Southern Tales Tour: Crocodile Park, 23-Colored Earth & Lunch, Trou-aux-Cerfs - Grand Bassin - 7 Coloured Earth - Wild South Guided Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Trou d'Eau Douce?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Trou d'Eau Douce?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
