Île aux Cerfs Eco Trail
Explore the Island Beyond the Golf Course
Beyond its world-famous Bernhard Langer golf course, Île aux Cerfs conceals a remarkable natural landscape — pristine coastal wetlands, endemic tropical forest, and a shoreline teeming with marine life. The Île aux Cerfs Eco Trail was designed to reveal this hidden side of the island to curious visitors.
Led by certified local guides, the 4km trail explores ancient mangrove habitats, volcanic rock formations at the island's southern tip, and the coastal wetland reserve that protects nesting sea birds. The route culminates at a private beach accessible only on foot — the island's best-kept secret.
