All inclusive CATAMARAN with BBQ : Ile aux cerf & GRSE waterfall

Good planning on the wrong date

Great service Loved the food. If I could change one thing would be my holidays. The Ile aux cerf is over crowded and I recommend doing your homework before going. Great location and good food. Staff was okay(had to see them dealing with a lot of pressure) but they are professionals and kept us entertained

Poor experience with ile aux cerfs boat ride and lunch

The tour operator was polite and helpful overall and the cab driver was excellent, so I have given a 2* rating. If I considered the core activity only then this would have been 1* rating. Problems: 1) Catamaran tour was cancelled one day before and I was offered speed boat tour, which I accepted as there as no other option and we did not want to lose 1 day since we have been planning this for weeks and even a refund would not solve our problem, since we have also paid for hotel, food etc., for this date, so the day would have been wasted; 2) The boat operator was rude and we felt we were treated in a discriminatory manner and left us stranded on an island since they changed the speed boat again randomly and they only left us stranded and we were he only Indian family in the trip, and the manner in which it was done felt discriminatory (shared details with the tour operator who initially tried to brush this off as "this is how plans can change in an island", but when I explained in detail how I felt, they helped solve the problem by arranging another boat pickup just for us, nonetheless, this was a bitter and unexpected experience and no one should be treated the way we felt we were treated); 3) Food offered in lunch was okay and servers were rude, we had to ask them for every small thing, they were plain reluctant to help/serve. Good thing the weather was great and the location was beautiful, and the driver was also excellent in his behaviour and service, which helped lift our spirits at the end of the day.

Good staff,..but strictly Passable experience

OK OK experience...too crowded. The boat staff is great. The catamaran isn't really luxury..and lot of guests seemed like family friends and not really paid customers.., hence it felt like almost outsiders inspite, of paying full price. Food and the facilities were strictly average, vegetarians were completely ignored, and I wouldn't really recommend highly..The experience in other countries was far better.. The pickup and drop to hotel was good. In total, very passable experience.

Enjoyable day

Our driver was fantastic, very personal experience and made our day- thank you! Boat experience was great. Well worth booking

Personal touch multiplied the enjoyment

Cruises in Mauritius are a great concept and one should do them as many times as possible. This cruise to Ile aux cerfs and GRSE waterfall organized by Beguided Tours was an excellent experience for us and we will remember it for a long time. "Personal touch" from the point of doing a booking (a month in advance) to the point of dropping us back to the hotel after the cruise was full of personal touch, agility of response, warmth and care. We fully appreciate Hans, his entire staff and his taxi driver Sona. The arrangement consisted of pickup and drop from the hotel as well. The taxi was available in a timely manner and he ensured that we could reach the cruise ahead of time. Cruise staff briefed us well about the plan and about the safety. The staff was quite caring and jovial. Drinks (alcoholic as well as non alcoholic) were flowing freely throughout and the staff ensured that our glasses remain full at all times! The cruise stopped in between for a snorkel in the sea. Snorkel equipment were provided to those who had not brought their own kits. Proper safety instructions were given. We thoroughly enjoyed the snorkel with lots of variety of fishes. Water was very very clean. Cruise then went to GRSE falls and it was yet another amazing experience as the ship was taken very close to the waterfall. Lunch was served on board which was quite yummy. We both are vegetarians and yet they ensured that we get proper food. People also danced to the tune of music being played. There was a stop at Ile aux cerfs which is a very nice Island and one can do lots of water activities there like under sea walk, parasailing etc. it's good for swimming as well. We also enjoyed taking a long walk by the side of the sea and within the jungle. On the way back we also enjoyed an under sea walk. I highly recommend this cruise and Beguided Tours as the operators. We will love to do it again.

A MUST!!!!

Views are amazing, crew - very lively and helpful. Atmosphere on-board was great with the crew very entertaining as well. Overall had a fun day!

**" Beauty of GRSE Waterfall in Mauritius"**

One of the highlights of GRSE is its accessibility and the blend of river and ocean views that you don’t get at other waterfalls in Mauritius. We took a boat ride along the river, which offered stunning views of the surrounding forest. We also took many family pictures. GRSE is impressive in its charm and serene atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting GRSE if you’re looking for a peaceful nature escape or planning a boat trip in the area!

Phenomenal

Absolutely amazing Dancing to sega and food...Cree were great and the views were amazing...thank you again

Hans and David is the best crew members

Simple wow. The bbq lunch was amazing. David one of the best crew member he even offered us free wine which was not in our package, they are very nice people, . One thing I would like to ask to change is the place for snorkeling as it’s a bit dead, we could not see any fish but they told us that it’s like this due to boat activities in Mauritius. In the end it was a great day. I recommend dealing with Hans as he is a very very good operator super nice. Cheers to the team

Special rum for travellers in mauritius

Traveling alone is not easy. I will tell people who want this tour to do it. But the sun is too hot. The food was great. There is a special rum on boat that I will recommend. It's strong but I heard it's rare in Mru. It's mixed and special. Bring cloths and I hope you tripadvisors users will find this useful. Also my driver was hans. He is so nice. Look for him

Good day with wonderful weather

We had a lovely day with a beautiful weather, the teams was super nice and professional, we had an amazing moment, I highly recommand

Good food and beer for the money

It was nice for the sun paid, I will recommend also it was very crowded but still a good experience the food was soooo good, beer also was good . Try beer phoenix.

Ticked all the boxes

Pick up and drop off all on time and helpful driver. Nice boat, enough room for all, food good, music good, rum excellent, if you want it (beer and soft drinks also available). Not the best snorkeling, but island trip (well worth a stroll to the beautiful lagoon) and waterfall good.

Catamaran at Ile aux cerfs

Fantastic journey, blended with sea views and breeze make it such relaxing, despite the little passage of rain but overall the crew made the journey more fun with the local music and the fantastic grill barbecue foods. It's a fantastic deal.

A Day Well Spent

It seems that all catamaran in Mauritius are very crowded but its their way . One thing is that the food and drinks was good. Boat captain was a bit talkative but funny. In the end it was a good day for us !

Enjoy the waves 🌊

Had the best time of my life !!! Best escape anyone can have and great foood as well, really recommend this one 🫶🏻

Fun and relaxing day on a catamaran

Hans picked me up and drove down to Trou d'Eau Douce. We had a lovely conversation on array of topics. He pointed out things along the well. I had a wonderful time on the catamaran. We saw a waterfall and monkeys on the trees. The bbq lunch was delicious and was very relaxing on the beach. There were water activities for extra costs on the island. There was free unlimited non / alcoholic drinks as well. If you want a fun and relaxing I would recommend this tour.

Würden wir nicht mehr buchen…

Insgesamt geht so. Der Fahrer zum Katamaran und zurück war sehr gut. Dann am Katamaran etwas unorganisiert. Es hat über eine Stunde gedauert bis alle Dinge wie Kisten mit Essen usw. und die Passagiere an Bord waren. Das wird bei anderen Touren vorher erledigt. Das Essen war leider weit entfernt von einem 3-Gänge Menü. Gegrilltes mit Nudelsalat und eine halbe Banane. Das Team war recht freundlich aber die Musik sehr sehr laut. Die Insel an sich ist schön. Das Schnorcheln war nach 5 Min vorbei um dann Parasailing anbieten zu können. Den Wasserfall hat man leider auch nur 5 Min gesehen. Insgesamt hat die Tour auch viel kürzer gedauert, etwa 5 Stunden.
