The waterfall was great and we got to see monkeys up close. On our way to the reaf to snorkle, we saw dolphins. The Ile aux Beach was absolutely beautiful. It was clean, not crowded and had a variety of water sports.”

2.5 Island Adventure with BBQ & Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,052 reviews · 6 hours · from $100

Spend six hours on a small-group speedboat from Trou d’Eau Douce, visiting Ile aux Cerfs, the GRSE waterfall, Ile aux Fouquets, Ile de la Passe and Ile aux Aigrettes. Expect snorkeling, swimming, lunch, drinks and possible sightings of dolphins, turtles and monkeys. Guides such as Rajiv, Oliver and Wendel are known for keeping the day lively.

“Highly recommend the speedboat tour of the 5 islands. Our Captain Derrick ripped across the waves (probably the best bit) - we got to see dolphins, turtles and monkeys over the course of the journey (recommend bringing a banana to feed monkeys). Great snorkelling opportunities, delicious BBQ lunch and free flowing rum throughout. There's an opportunity to go para-sailing out of sea for two people which I definitely recommend and is cheaper than organizing on the island.”
