    Deer Island

    Magnificent setting for a relaxing family day. Very beautiful beaches. Parasailing to discover the island from the sky.

    To do but know the conditions well!

    Deer Island, a very touristy paradise, super nice but quick parasailing activity (around 3 minutes of flight). PLEASE NOTE, regarding food and drinks this is included from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., i.e. only 1 hour at the end of the excursion. Before that, bar on Ile aux Cerfs available but plan the budget (prices similar to those in France). Picked up by the service provider (even 2 hours away). The staff is very friendly like most Mauritians! To do but know the conditions well.

    Great experience !

    I must say it was definitely a wonderful experience! The guide who was an archaeologist enthralled us with the history of the Islands. The food was bountiful. We were treated to wonderful meals on the Islands that let us sample each Island's speciality. There was free time on each of the Islands that allowed for shopping, exploring or sitting round watching island life sipping a drink! However, the weather was not good that day, i recommend travelers not to take risks to do water activities. But overall, it was a very good experience. Thanks to Divesh !

    Response from the operator: Dear Valuable guests, Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience; our staff will definitely be happy to read what you wrote. We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. So thanks for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again. Thanks and regards, Ashutosh Canaye

    A disappointed day

    This trip is not organised well. They didn’t give a clear instruction on the day when it started. Firstly, long waiting for speed boat. When reached Ile aux cerf, we found out this booked parasailing is not on the island. We need to go back to where we boarded on speedboat and took car to the parasailing point. No matter how disappointed the parasailing company service is, careless, no listening, quick fly up and quick land off. Nothing can compare what we had six years ago. Lunch location s good, beach front lagoon offers nice swimming time before eating. Food is average. Water fall is nice to go, also saw monkeys around.

    Marvelous Ile aux Cerf island: Speed Boat, Parasailing, Lunch & GRSE waterfall: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trou d'Eau Douce.

    How much does Marvelous Ile aux Cerf island: Speed Boat, Parasailing, Lunch & GRSE waterfall cost?

    +

    Prices start at $135 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 Marvelous Ile aux Cerf island: Speed Boat, Parasailing, Lunch & GRSE waterfall 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 Marvelous Ile aux Cerf island: Speed Boat, Parasailing, Lunch & GRSE waterfall worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 6 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 Marvelous Ile aux Cerf island: Speed Boat, Parasailing, Lunch & GRSE waterfall?

    +

    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 Marvelous Ile aux Cerf island: Speed Boat, Parasailing, Lunch & GRSE waterfall 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 Marvelous Ile aux Cerf island: Speed Boat, Parasailing, Lunch & GRSE waterfall?

    +

    Around 2 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 Marvelous Ile aux Cerf island: Speed Boat, Parasailing, Lunch & GRSE waterfall 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, Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks, Southern Tales Tour: Crocodile Park, 23-Colored Earth & Lunch. 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.
