Speed boat trip to the Eastern Islands, Mauritius.

Sail off at 9.30am for a full day cruise from Pointe Jérome jetty. First stop at Ile aux Aigrettes, a small island in the Mahebourg Bay, located 850m off the south-east coast of Mauritius. The second stop is at Ile au Phare, also known as Ile aux Fouquets. Ile au Phare was first discovered in 1598 by the Dutch settlers. The island bears its name by virtue of a lighthouse built in 1864, which was still operational until beginning of the 20th century. Historically, Ile au Phare has fulfilled a strategic purpose during the naval battles at Grand Port.
