8.5 Islands Private Speedboat w/ Snorkeling + Lunch & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 18 reviews · 9 hours

Spend nine hours on a private speedboat from Trou d’Eau Douce, visiting five east-coast islands, Grand River South East waterfall, and Blue Bay Marine Park. Snorkel among tropical fish, look for dolphins and sea turtles, then enjoy beach BBQ, drinks, and optional watersports at Ile aux Cerfs.

“The food on the island was good but thats about it. The all inclusive/ unlimited drinks and snacks fitted in a little cooler. They feed the monkeys with chips 👎We thought the guide/ driver would explain something along the tour or give us informations what's next but unfortunately he didn't speak much english. So most of our questions remained unanswered. We were very disappointed when the tour ended after only 5 hours at 2 p.m. We felt betrayed. It is not worth the money. We can't recommend this tour at all.”
