Afterwards we will bring you to visit the lighthouse Island – Ile aux Phare, where you will have time to visit the ancient lighthouse ruin or time to walk around the island. L'Île aux Fouquets also known as L’île aux Phare (Phare Island) is a small rocky island of the Grand Port Bay. The Island was significant during the Battle of Grand Port, between the French and the British. Its lighthouse, which was built in 1864 to guide ships to the port of Mahebourg, has defied centuries and still stands with all its majesty.

Ile de la Passe is a small but very significant islet off the southeast coast of Mauritius. During the colonial era, the islet was a key factor in the defense of Mauritius where the French and British inhabitants built defenses on Ile de la Passe. Today the ruins of these defences, dating back two and a half centuries, are still present. An ideal site for a fascinating day trip, Ile de la Passe offers stunning views of the mainland and the turquoise sea as well as historic ruins of the defenses which will give you an insight on the battles that took place there, including the legendary Battle of Vieux Grand Port which is commemorated by an inscription on the Arc De Triomphe in Paris. You can spend a pleasant day walking through the ruins of the ancient French defense and awing at them.

While cruising, we will pass by the Ilot Vacoas.

s part of your cruise, you will also get to visit the Grand River South-East Waterfalls. The GRSE waterfall is an exceptional place where land and sea merge. The speed boat will sail along the waterfalls’ canal for a beautiful view of the Grand River South East Waterfalls. The wild flora surrounding the fabulous waterfall is amazing and is colonized with monkeys jumping and playing on the trees just beside the waterfalls as they are used to human presence.

Watch the Mauritian fruit bats resting perched on the highest trees as you approach the waterfall.
