We went there first free with the hotel, we liked it so much we paid to go back again. Take your own drinks as they are very expensive at the bar. There are very clear shallow waters and no wind. I don't know what other reviewers are talking about. Beware of the urchins in the sea while walking as a... More

Definitely worth a visit - catamaran to the waterfall, BBQ and then dropped off in absolute paradise! Completely clear, shallow and warm sea. The sand is exactly how you imagine a tropical island.

My husband, 1 year old daughter and I took our hire car over to visit il aux cerfs today. Started off badly. One of the staff members at our hotel told us we should pay no more than 100-200 rupees for the boat trip to reach the island. However when we got there, we could only see one ticket office... More

On our recent trip to Mauritius my BF decided this was his Must-See destination, so we pootled along in our hire car to Trou D'Eau Douce which is the jumping-off point to Ile Aux Cerfs. The friendly lady at the Information office on the beach directed us to where we could buy tickets from the boat-trip operator, Bateau Vicky. There... More

We took a beautiful ride over there from The Four Seasons in the morning. It was quite busy when we got there and felt quite touristy. However, we took a little wander and found a lovely spot on the beach and we could see nobody else around for a couple of hours. That was perfect!

I'd been to Ile aux Cerfs 4 years back and loved it. So I decided to revisit it on my recent trip. We took Crystal Cruises (Terrible) catamaran (BIG Mistake). We should have taken the speed boat. The catamaran is more leisurely but leaves you less time to explore the island. Dont take the parasailing or underwater seawalk option. Enjoy... More
