Most full-day tours take their time crossing the east coast lagoon. You visit a waterfall and snorkel before reaching Ile aux Cerfs.
Tours depart from Trou d'Eau Douce around 9:00 AM. Sightseeing catamarans accommodate 20 to 40 passengers for a relaxed pace. Speedboats offer a fast transit and cross the lagoon in roughly 15 minutes. Both vessel types make detours along the way.
You spend the first part of the day sightseeing on the water. Expect a scenic route up the river and a dedicated snorkeling session.
