Thematic Interest & Activities
Cerf Island measures more than 1.5
km long (about 1 mile) and almost 1 km wide (almost ¾ of a
mile), it reaches a height of 108 m (354
feet) and lies 3 km east of Mahé.
Cerf Island was named after the French frigate ‘Le Cerf’ which
arrived at Port Victoria on 1 November 1756.
Due to Cerf Island’s location, in a National Marine Park,
the waters around Cerf Island prove a spectacular
sight. The deepest point of the Marine Park is 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.
