Most boat trips to Île aux Cerfs from Trou d'Eau Douce stop to snorkel in the lagoon around Île de l'Est and the coral patches nearby. The water is shallow and turquoise, with reef fish over sand and coral heads; it's a relaxed stop rather than a spectacular reef.
The east coast is windier than our side: go early, and pick a calm day.
