The day trip to Ile des Deux Cocos starts with a boat shuttle departing from the south-east coast of Mauritius. During the 5-minute transfer enjoy views of turtles and colourful fish in the clear waters of the lagoon.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted at the Ile des Deux Cocos jetty with welcoming drinks. You will immediately feel the charm of this small paradise island and the relaxed atmosphere all around. While strolling around to discover the island, you can also explore the colonial villa and be charmed by the Moroccan architecture and be amazed at how well it blends with the beachy surroundings (visit is upon availability).

You will have free time to enjoy the fabulous variety of underwater life which can be explored during a snorkelling boat trip or on board a glass-bottom boat trip (both included in the price of this trip). You will be provided with sunbeds throughout the day to chill on and enjoy some sun.

The buffet lunch which is served on the island around noon features delicious grills and salads, cooked in the open, with tables in the open air and tents with deep settees to relax in. The lunch buffet also includes an unlimited local drinks package: water, sparkling water, soft drinks, fruit juice, a selection of House rums, House wines, local spirits, cocktails and beers.

Whether you choose to meander along the shady island paths, drift into the gentle island way of life under a palm tree, or explore the outstanding underwater marine life; Ile des Deux Cocos offers an exceptional and unforgettable experience!

Activities on Ile des Deux Cocos

While on the Island you can swim and snorkel, go walking across and around the island, or visit the underwater nature reserve, known as the Blue Bay Maritime Reserve. This is the perfect place to discover the enchanting underwater marine world with its superb corals, wonderful array of brightly coloured tropical fish such as the Surgeonfish, Clowns, Butterfly fish and many more.

If you prefer to stay dry you can opt for the selection of land activities including beach volleyball, giant chess and badminton. (Activity programme is subject to change.)

The inside of this small island is rich with native vegetation which you can discover by following one of the many walking trails. Of course, you can also just relax beneath one of the many palm trees and watch the sparkling ocean.The south coast of Ile des Deux Cocos offers dramatic views of the ocean pounding against the reefs and of the mountain range of Mauritius’ east coast.

Nestled amongst the trees, lies the magical “Follies” Villa. Built over 100 years ago by Sir Hesketh Bell, one of the first British governors to Mauritius. It is a place of true magic and beauty, which has been used for glamorous and hedonistic parties. The villa’s architectural style is a unique mixture of various influences and styles; a clever mix of British and Moorish architecture with a Mauritian-style interior.

Optional Activities - Available at an additional cost

Explore the Shipwreck

A glass bottom boat ride will take you to the shipwreck site outside the Blue Bay zone. You will then have one hour to enjoy swimming and snorkelling and to explore the site.

The shipwreck off Pointe d’Esny holds an important piece of the island’s history; the ship sank during the famous naval battle of Grand Port, that took place between the British and the French. The Grand Port harbour was the scene of a rare heavy naval defeat for the British empire. You can still see part of the wreck on the reefs, with remains of cannons completing the underwater scenery of this historic battle. During the 1-hour snorkelling session, you will also get to encounter a myriad of colourful fish - emperors, lionfish, snappers, jack fish, clownfish, moray eels, anemones, barracudas, amongst others.

Islands visit

The Islands Visit outing can be tailored to 1 or 2 hours, to suit your needs. Grab this opportunity to discover the famous picturesque islets of Mauritius, namely Ile au Phare and Ile de la Passe. Once there, you will be able to explore the islands and take pictures of the magnificent landscapes. You will also be able to get a glimpse of the small protected island, Ile aux Aigrettes. All you have to do is relax and let your inner Robinson Crusoe take over.

Ile au Phare

Also known as Ile aux Fouquets, Ile au Phare is a small rocky island, named after a lighthouse built in 1864, which was still operational until the beginning of the 20th century. It’s also where the French explorer, François Leguat was imprisoned by the Dutch. As the island is surrounded by corals, it is only accessible by boats with a flat bottom. Its turquoise waters are home to an incredible number of sea urchins, including the Priest’s cap urchin and the stone urchin.

Ile de la Passe

Ile de la Passe is a small but very historic island off the south-east coast of Mauritius. It played an important role during the famous Battle of Grand Port over the possession of the harbour between the 20th-27th of August 1810. The French Navy’s victory over the British Royal Navy at that time marks the only victory under the Napoleonic regime and as such is commemorated by an inscription on the Arc De Triomphe in Paris.

Ile aux Aigrettes

Classified as a Nature Reserve by the MWF (Mauritius Wildlife Foundation), this small island is situated a kilometre off Pointe D’Esny and was used as a military base by the British during World War Two. Of the two artillery pieces installed there, one can still be seen while having your trip around the island. Today, however, huge efforts are being made to restore the island to its former natural glory, with on-going projects to reintroduce and protect endemic flora and fauna. Hence, you won’t be able to get down on the island, the boat will take you around it.

Note: Boat capacity: 20 Pax (Minimum 4 pax per trip)
