The southeastern part of Mauritius is distinguished by the diversity of its landscapes and its largely unspoiled natural environment. Shallow lagoons, lush islands, tropical estuaries, and a navigable river make up a region best explored by water. This day-long boat tour offers a gradual immersion into this iconic region, which is both serene and authentic.
A Day on a Boat in Southeast Mauritius: Between the Ocean, the Lagoon, and the River
Departing from the East Coast, you’ll set out on a day trip marked by the tranquility of the lagoon and the rich landscapes of the Southeast. The boat trip alternates between calm waters and areas lined with mangroves. Throughout the excursion, stops are planned for swimming, relaxing, or observing the shallow seabed. The atmosphere is peaceful, perfect for exploring and unwinding, far from the hustle and bustle.
Explore the iconic sites of the Southeast: islets, nature reserves, and waterfalls
The itinerary includes visits to several major sites in southeastern Mauritius:
• Île au Phare, recognizable by its historic lighthouse and its open coastal setting,
• Île aux Cerfs, a large lagoon island known for its beaches and shallow waters,
• Île aux Aigrettes, known for its key role in the conservation of local flora and fauna,
• the Grande Rivière Sud-Est, which you can travel up by boat to its waterfall, set against a backdrop of dense rainforest.
Each stop is designed to be a chance to relax: a walk on the beach, a swim, some downtime, or simply taking in the scenery. Here, the southeast reveals a greener, calmer, and more diverse landscape than other parts of the island.
Lunch by the water: a gourmet break in a natural setting
At lunchtime, a break is scheduled in a natural setting—on a beach or on board, depending on the itinerary. The meal features simple, local cuisine: grilled meats, Creole side dishes, fresh salads, fragrant rice, and tropical fruits. Refreshing beverages are available to complement the meal.
