Cerf Island was named after the French frigate ‘Le Cerf’ who arrived at Port Victoria on 1 November 1756.
Due to Cerf Island’s location, in the National Marine Park, the waters around Cerf Island prove a spectacular sight. The deepest point of the Marine Park is about 25 meters (75 feet) and the Park offers exceptional marine life, with more than 150 species of reef fish, crabs, sea urchins, starfish, octopus and many more.
Cerf Island is the only island in the marine park to have a small local population who commute to Mahé for their daily business. They live on the opposite side of the island.

We wanted to do safari with my wife in Kenya. Diwaka Safaris organized our trip for 17 days professionally. We were very satisfied with all services. The best part was our guide Patrick Waweru who did an excellent job.
