River greenery gives way to open lagoon, then another island appears across the water. An Ile aux Cerfs speedboat tour can keep the day close to one beach or carry you through a wider southeast route, with a different scene beyond each crossing.
A speedboat does not have to mean filling every hour. A focused outing can take you to the waterfall, leave time on Ile aux Cerfs and make lunch part of the island day.
The wider routes ask a different question: how much variety do you want before you settle on the sand? The recommended SirenaMoris trip brings several southeast settings together. Compare it with a simpler island-and-waterfall day if uninterrupted beach time is your priority.
Start with the wider SirenaMoris route, then compare a longer southeast outing or a more focused island day. Boat transport and hotel pickup remain separate choices.

SirenaMoris booking details From €45 per person · SirenaMoris
Southeast speedboat & Blue Bay snorkelling From €105 per person · TML HolidaysThe five-island speedboat trip makes sense when you want Ile aux Cerfs as part of a wider southeast journey. Board at Cabane du Pêcheur for a day that includes GRSE, island free time and a barbecue lunch on Margénie Island.
Snorkelling equipment is included, and the boat route brings the lighthouse island and Île de la Passe into the day. These settings offer more variety than a direct crossing, while lunch ashore gives the route a place to pause. Arrange your own transport to the boarding point.
SirenaMoris combines island scenery, the river and a beach lunch. These are the places and experiences within the wider route, rather than a fixed timetable. Île de la Passe is a pass-by rather than a landing.
Meet at the named boarding point for the speedboat departure.
An Île aux Aigrettes swimming and snorkelling stop is optional, rather than a guaranteed part of the day.
Visit the lighthouse island as part of the wider route.
See this historical islet as the boat passes by.
Visit the river and waterfall.
Pause for the barbecue lunch and drinks ashore.
Enjoy free time on the island.
Return to the same boarding point after the excursion.
A riverbank, a lighthouse and sand beside the water. The pleasure of a wider route is seeing how different these places feel within a single day.
Book NowThe speedboat makes the contrasts part of one outing, rather than asking you to choose a single landmark. That variety uses some of the time you might otherwise spend on the beach. If you picture an uninterrupted afternoon beside the lagoon, treat the island visit as one part of this trip rather than its whole purpose.
Ile aux Cerfs gives you time to choose for yourself. Walk, swim or stay on the sand within the time the crew allows. This balance suits a traveller who enjoys changing places. If you want to remain on one island for longer, compare the focused excursions before choosing the wider route.
Meet at Cabane du Pêcheur using the location below. Transport to the boarding point is excluded. Use the departure instructions on your booking confirmation to plan your journey to the jetty.

A vegetarian menu is available on request. Tell SirenaMoris about dietary restrictions when booking.
The group option and private speedboat option are separate bookings. The private option requires at least three participants.
Bring swimwear, sun protection, a towel and a way to keep belongings dry. Wildlife sightings are an opportunity rather than a promise.
This trip is not suitable for people over 95. Pets are not allowed.
Guests value the crew and the range of places. Some also describe a lunch stop that felt long or underwater scenery that did not meet their expectations.
Ecaterina praised her professional guide and saw several animals. She found the coral disappointing and felt that the barbecue stop lasted too long.
Alejandra enjoyed the range of islands, snorkelling and the meal, and found the staff attentive.
Fabian valued the food, friendly people and attentive guide. The atmosphere and variety made it his best day in Mauritius.
SirenaMoris lists the five-island excursion as five hours. Other southeast routes can be longer: TML Holidays lists eight hours. Include your own travel to the departure point when planning the day.
No. Île de la Passe is explicitly a pass-by on the recommended trip. The Île aux Aigrettes swimming and snorkelling stop is optional and is not guaranteed.
SirenaMoris excludes transport to the boarding point. TML Holidays offers a ticket-only option and a separate hotel-transfer option. Do not assume “speedboat transfer” includes the road journey from your hotel.
It may be if the wider southeast route is less important to you. The island-and-waterfall alternatives centre the day on Ile aux Cerfs and nearby lunch stops. Check the specific option’s route and time ashore.
SirenaMoris includes drinks with the barbecue lunch on Margénie Island. Follow the selected option’s food and drink details when booking.
Choose sailing if time aboard is part of the attraction. The catamaran comparison explains the different departures, onboard meals and atmospheres.
Choose the SirenaMoris speedboat day for a GRSE visit, island lunch and time on Ile aux Cerfs within a wider southeast journey. Make your own way to Cabane du Pêcheur and let the boat connect the day.
