The BBQ cruise from Trou d’Eau Douce
Everything starts at the Pointe Maurice jetty in Trou d’Eau Douce, near the Shangri-La Le Touessrok. You are asked to be there 15 minutes before departure. The day runs along the east-coast lagoon, with snorkelling at Eau Bleu, a visit to the Grand River South East waterfall, a barbecue cooked on board and free time on Île aux Cerfs. The description gives a return to Trou d’Eau Douce around 3:30pm; the itinerary is subject to change.
Hotel pickup exists only for a list of east-coast hotels — St Géran, Belle Mare Plage, Long Beach, Shangri-La Le Touessrok and a dozen more — and only if you pick that option when booking. Hosts speak English and French, and a vegetarian lunch is available on request.
One rule is easy to miss: alcohol is served after snorkelling, and the management reserves the right to cancel the snorkelling stop if drinks have been consumed beforehand. The price includes unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, so this is not a formality.
On Île aux Cerfs, the programme leaves free time to swim, relax on the beach or explore the island. The booking page lists a standard group of up to 100 people; keep that in mind if a small group matters to you.
