Île aux Canards is a cute postcard-perfect islet sitting five minutes by taxi boat off Anse Vata. It's all here, including an underwater snorkelling path, rental gear, a restaurant, and a stunning beach with loungers, hammocks, beach umbrellas and even VIP Lounges. Head to the water-taxi booth about halfway along Anse Vata beach (return trip 1200 CPF).
