Private Speed Boat To Ile Aux Cerfs Full-day Incl: Lunch & Transfer

This is a bit of a mixed review from me We were picked up by the taxi on time and got to the speedboat no problem. Sebastian o the speedboat was brilliant. I have some mobility issues and he really helped. We then went to a separate island which was to include snorkelling as part of the price we paid We were met by a tour used called john who then charged us £25 each to go snorkelling !!! He said it definitely wasn’t part of our tour, it definitely was, we then had to pay £10 for sun beds !!! All other parts of this day were brilliant but please be aware before you go there’s a strong chance you’ll get ripped off

It was my first time coming to Mauritius, and I have heard about the wonderful beaches and exquisite boat rides! The experience was amazing. The captain of our boat was so helpful and kind and an exceptional guide. My children and I loved the exhilarating feeling of the seawater and air on our faces. The lunch was pleasant, eventhough I expected more variety to the dishes. All in all, I would recommend to anyone wanting to explore Mauritius as a tourist. It was definitely money well spent!

Nice expiriens, the guide - boatdriver was very friendly. The island is beautiful place with a clear water. Snorkeling wasn’t interesting, there are few fish. On the river you can see monkey, the meal of grill was incredible!

Nice speed boat trip. driver was on time for pick up. speed boat ride was great. food was delicious. everything is araanged perfectly. great organization from the company!! Cheers

ile aux cerfs is a nice island with plenty of activities.. we have a nice time snorkeling, doing parasailign activities.. the food was local and delicious!! feeling the island life :D great organization !!

Great time at ile aux cerf islan.. thanks to benny for the incredible boat ride.. pure adrenaline :D.. we saw plenty of fish during snorkeling.. Indeed magical.! local food was nice and had a couple of local drink.. again an amazing day!

Rude and unprofessional tour operator. Ile aux cerfs is not at all what it used to be. Really disappointed.

Great organization.. our driver keshav took us on time.. we had a great time at ile aux cerfs despite it was raining. Our guide koko is a fantastics person.. the speed boat ride was amazing.. The guide prepare chicken barbecue for us. Local drinks was good especially the rum. Overall we had a nice dayy out.

If u imagine a boat that is rushing to take you to places while doing other trips for others as well then this is it. Nothing that say it is included is really... everything is a joke for the money you pay and the so called services they offer... You have no water. You have no special snorkeling. They pick you up on one point and drop you off in another where you have to walk into small beach jungle so that you can reach the road. The lunch was terrible took over 1 hour to serve some chicken and we were afraid to eat the fish when we saw that there is no fridge and they keep the cut fish in the sea by the shore! Of corse there is no "wide selection" of alcohol they tried to give us beer and the children had one sprite and that's it! Simple water was absent the entire trip! On the island were there was the dinner there is no bathroom. We stayed there 4 hours while the boat was making other non private trips for other tourists - private boat tour has a new meaning and tripadvisor supports this! They shouldn't be allowed to post excursions!

Pre visit comms confusing - told 7 pick up then 0845, then called at 0800 for collection. Transfer fine, met speedboat but no introduction to the driver. Quick whizz to the waterfalls, stopped very briefly as other parties had seen some monkeys. Dropped at Isle Aux Cerfs with a pick up of 1230. No sign of the boat, eventually told another one would take us for lunch. 5 min trip to lunch - which was very good. But, collection scheduled for 2 1/2 hrs later - sat on plastic chairs, very little shade or anywhere to sit out. Asked to be collected early so dropped back at the jetty by 14:30. Just not worth the money unfortunately- we have done similar trips on catamarans and thought a speed boat might be nicer. No stopping for swimming or snorkelling. One good thing was the taxi driver Roshan who was fabulous 😎

we had a fantastic day at ile aux cerfs island. Very beautiful island with many activities. We done parasailing which was very nice. the views was amazing.. Our kids had a lots of fun swimming.. Crew was simply amazing!! The lunch was great. Great organization by the company..

We wholeheartedly recommend FreshVerde Holidays to anyone who wants an “out of this world” experience in what probably is the best part of Mauritius. Organisation and transfer were perfectly organised and on time, the boat trip was simply magical (and Blue Bay with its coral reefs is the dream for those who love snorkelling) and everyone was friendly, professional and taught us a lot about this incredible island. We’re going home knowing we couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Perfect day with the exception of the glass bottom boat (which was offered to us as soon as we arrived on the island) which was actually a tourist catch.We saw no fish.We wasted 1 hour of our time.Sadly, everything else was perfect.

Superb excursion, little crush for the Ile au Phare, very good lunch in front of an idyllic beach on Ile aux Cerfs. Nelson, the captain, is an excellent pilot and brought us a lot of information.

The best part was communication with the driver. Even if he didn't arrive at 07.00 but only at 08.30, the communication and the subsequent transfer was good. The boat was sufficient for the four of us and the two "drivers". Shortly after the departure came the first stop: For no small amount of money, we could have waded through the water in the form of an astronaut. The price was still reduced, but that was not in our focus. After a small waterfall, we stopped in shallow water for snorkeling. On the part of the guides came the hint that this spot was uninteresting, but you could snorkel. But on the way back we would drive to another reef, where the conditions for snorkeling would be excellent. After the stay we went to the Ile aux Cerfs. Not without pointing out the possibility of paragliding, which is offered several times on platforms in the sea. Many boats anchor on the island or lie in the sand. Accordingly, many guests. Tourist very developed, incl. Restaurant, toilets and vending stalls. Our guides left by boat with the announcement to pick us up at 1 p.m., which did not happen, but only 20 minutes later. Afterwards we drove at "snail pace" to another beach where lunch took place. Again, the two "boys" left by boat, also with the advice to pick us up again at the agreed time. Same situation: We were at the agreed spot, ads boat with the two guides did not... Came again about 20 minutes later. Now we were excited about the upcoming snorkeling spot... But the drive line and the final stop was the starting point of the morning!! When asked about the question of the snorkel course still to come, the lapidary sentence came that they had run out of gas!!! This can be explained by the various longer "private trips" of the guides. Any discussion and complaint with the guides was ignored. However, this also applies to the complaint written to the organizer (Freshverde Holidays) immediately after the holiday. Over three weeks have passed without any reaction! An absolute OUTRAGE!!

Guide francophone connaissant bien son environnement et très cool.Tout est bien organisé et pas de surprise

Malgré un peu de pluie excellente journée avec un bon repas et personnel très sympathique L île au cerf est à recommander

Simply beautiful and great organized. The driver was very friendly on time. We had a lot of fun and really learned and saw a lot. can only recommend.

The activity itself is not bad, but very expensive for what it is, we stop 10 seconds in front of the waterfall, 2 hours on a beautiful beach, and then we eat on a small island where 20 other groups eat, a meal very unqualitative considering the price of the excursion. The only strength is being alone but again I wish I could see more things. I think you can find better and/or more complete as an excursion considering the price.
