    Nightmare Day at Deer Island!!!!

    I strongly advise against the 5 islands excursion with the boat WAVE BREAKER BOAT TOURS!!!! We booked with Mauritus Island Tours and Rental an October 2024 excursion for 2 people that cost us 6000 rupees. Very disappointed with the day. We had to change boats five times because of repeated breakdowns. We stayed for an hour and a half on the boat near Ile aux Fouquets waiting for another boat to pick us up. Since we were late, they landed us on the wrong side of Deer Island in a kind of mangrove, nothing like the picture of postcard we were sold. Then they left leaving us to our fate, no escort present with us. Then a boat picked us up around 5:00. We tightened up as well as we could on a small overloaded boat, with no lifejacket that was planned for 13 people max when we were 16 not counting the skipper, to arrive at Blue Bay around 5:30 pm when the excursion was to end around 3 pm. Waste of time and money!!!!! We had been sold a dream, but it was rather a nightmare!!!!! To avoid absolutely!!!!!!!

    Response from the operator: Merci pour votre retour. Bien que nous comprenions votre déception, nous souhaitons clarifier la situation. Nous vous avons effectivement recommandé la compagnie de bateau pour votre excursion, mais vous avez effectué votre paiement directement auprès d'eux à Blue Bay Beach. Mauritius Island Tours & Rentals n'a pas été impliqué dans la gestion de votre paiement ni dans l'organisation directe de cette excursion. Nous avons uniquement agi comme point de référence pour ce prestataire. De plus, votre avis a été publié sur notre page TripAdvisor sous un tour en taxi que nous avons fourni, qui n'a aucun lien avec l'excursion en bateau que vous avez décrite. Il est donc difficile de comprendre la pertinence de cet avis par rapport à nos services. Nous nous efforçons de maintenir professionnalisme et transparence dans toutes nos prestations. Si vous avez des commentaires sur les services de taxi que nous avons fournis, nous serons heureux d’y répondre. Cependant, nous vous invitons à adresser vos préoccupations concernant l'excursion en bateau directement au prestataire concerné. Merci pour votre compréhension.

    A great agency to discover Mauritius

    We stayed 14 days in Belle Mare and Umaima from Mauritius Island Tours & Rentals has organized everything for us during our stay: car rental + private outings with driver in the south, in the north, and 2 fast boat trips and catamaran for the 5 southern islands and the northern islands. Everything was perfectly organized, no false Rating. Awards are really good. And especially Umaima is extremely kind, always listening, available... she is adorable! ♥️♥️♥️ Thanks to Umaima and her team (Sakir, Imram...) we had a wonderful stay, stress-free and we discovered the island at our own pace. Do not hesitate to contact her, you will not be disappointed! Everything was perfect: thanks to the whole Team, you are on top 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup pour votre retour Valérie. A très bientôt 😍🥰

    South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc..: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc.. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $171 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 South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc.. take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc.. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc..?

    +

    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 South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc.. suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc..?

    +

    Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc.. 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.

    What is included in South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc..?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Entrance ticket to Chamarel. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc.. offered in?

    +

    +

    Is South Tour Full Day - Trou aux Cerf, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges etc.. wheelchair or stroller accessible?
