An amazing day on the water with Catamaran Cruises
Oct 2022
Our day with the crew from Catamaran Cruises was so much fun! The crew is incredibly welcoming, by the end of the day all guests onboard (approx 24 of us, 7 or 8 different groups) from across the globe were dancing and singing together like old friends. I have to commend Scott and Roman for their hospitality and amazing service.
The route is lovely, from embarkation you head out to snorkel in the beautiful blue water, then you go for a quick looksee at the waterfall at Grand River South East. We didn't get close to the waterfall, due to the catamarans size, so keep that in mind if you expect to get up close with the flowing water.
Next we enjoyed an amazing lunch onboard which Roman had expertly prepared for us. Throughout the journey Roman and Scott are offering top ups of drinks and checking in to see how they can assist. The final stop for the day was a 2 hour visit on Isle Aux Cerfs. The island is an opportunity to put your feet on solid ground for a short while. We visited the beach bar, which is well developed and you can pay with bank cards, so no need to have cash on hand. We also cooled off by swimming in the lagoon. The island wasn't too busy, so that was also a bonus.
As our afternoon wrapped up and we headed back to port the crew got the party started by playing music and creating an awesome party vibe.
It was a day we will never forget and it wouldn't have been nearly as great without the expert team on hand to look after us. Thank you so much!

Amazing day
Jan 2020 • Couples
We booked the trip to Il aux cerf through the tour company at our hotel. The catamaran was amazing and the staff incredibly helpful and attentive. It was a rainy day but that didn’t bother us. The cat has sides that can zip down and clip in to shelter you from the wind and the rain. The food was amazing and there was always snacks and drinks available. We even saw dolphins while sailing. Snorkeling and the waterfall waterfall was fun. We even saw monkeys. The stop on the island was fun and a quick walk to the other side of the island we found a beautiful beach that was good for swimming. We got picked up again with the cat and headed back. The sail back was relaxing and fun and I would highly recommend this day trip. Sitting on the trampolines in front of the cat was so much fun and you can get a nice tan going. All in all an amazing boat and staff!!

A day on the water, but not spectacular
Nov 2023 • Couples
We chose this day trip as it promised us the experience or a waterfall and snorkelling and then to a private island. Unfortunately the waterfall was cancelled due to rain and the possibility of debris in the water, it hadn’t rained that much but we accepted safety first. We went snorkelling and the reef and coral was very underwhelming, granted that we live and experience the Great Barrier reef in our own country, but I would have though a more pristine part of the reef could of been found. We then went to the private island, and so were another thousand people. It was dirty and rubbish everywhere. The catamaran and the crew were excellent and overall, we had a good day, but I think it it time to rethink the itinerary as tourists may expect more.

Turquoise catamaran (summertime operators)
Feb 2020 • Couples
Went on a catamaran trip to ils a cerf. Started next to our hotel, preskil island.

It’s a lovely relaxing day. Beautiful snorkelling, all the drink you need and nice lunch.

Time at cerf is good but if you plan water sports/parasailing I’d try to spend more time here.

The lads on the catamaran were great. Very friendly.

Scenery is beautiful.

Overall one of our favourite days.

Fantastic Day, Fantastic Service
May 2022 • Couples
Booked a Catamaran Cruise for the day to Ile aux Benitiers on a shard basis and it was fantastic. We booked transport too and from our hotel - the communication with Prescilla was excellent, precise and quick when arranging this. The taxi was on time to pick us up and the driver told us all about the Island and it’s history.
The Cat tour was 5* - the crew, the service, bbq and cleanliness on board. We managed to see the dolphins too! Plenty of time to swim and snorkel or just chill onboard . We had an amazing day and I could not have expected anything more. Well done to the staff and crew - it was a day we will remember for a long time. Thank you

Day Trip to North Islands
Jul 2023 • Couples
Did a full day Catamaran tour to the 3 north islands with VaVaVoom Cruises, they were awesome and service is their specialty. Only thing to remember is to take your own snorkeling equipment. But food and drink are plentiful. We even got to see the turtles

Catamaran Cruise to Ile Aux Cerfs
Jul 2024 • Couples
The crew were so friendly and hospitable! They made sure everyone was well fed and catered to throughout the day, offered helpful advice and information and were very polite while creating a fun atmosphere.

The only downside was that there was a couple on our trip who were late (more than once) and in total we lost about an hour because of them. We were told that if we were late back to the boat, it would leave without us …but this was not the case and although this didn’t ruin the experience, it was very frustrating. I do wish the crew kept to their word and left that couple, as we weren’t the only ones complaining about the wasted time. That was a shame for those who did respect everyone else’s time.

Overall, would definitely recommend for a great day out! A beautiful island trip.

Nice cruise
Feb 2020 • Friends
We had a full day catamaran cruise in the west to ile aux benetiere. The booking was easy and the customer service before was perfect.

The crew and the service on the catamaran (especially from the crewmembers Greg and Frédéric) was very kind. They made the trip something unforgettable for us.

Food and drinks were perfect.

When we are on Mauritius next time we will book our next trip with catamaran cruises.
