Île des Deux Cocos is a small islet at the entrance of Blue Bay, once a colonial governor's retreat, with a Moorish-style villa and a white beach. Day packages take you over by boat and include a buffet lunch with unlimited local drinks (beer, wine, rum, cocktails), snorkelling in the marine park or a glass-bottom boat, and beach games.

Pricier than doing Blue Bay alone, but a relaxing treat day with the best snorkelling on the island around you.
