The True Heaven on Earth
Île aux Cerfs Island
Why locals love it
Mauritius has several small islands accessible through private boat tours, which are quite expensive for locals. In that regard, the Île aux Cerfs Island (literally Deer Island) is the most famous and therefore the most accessible one. No prior bookings are required as you can just show up at embarkation and bargain for a boat transfer.
