Brilliant service

Published on Feb, 2025

Manav our driver was very good arrived on time and drove very carefully. He was very helpful at offering us advice on local trips and restaurants we could visit which was very helpful given it was our first time in Mauritius. In our way to the destination Manav told us about the islands history and culture which was also very interesting. Would recommend this company to anyone who wishes to tour around the island

My favorite part about my vacation was my driver Sahil ♥️

Published on Dec, 2024

My favorite part about each excursion was my driver Sahil♥️ Sahil is so kind, patient and knowledgeable! I only gave 5 stars for my experience with Sahil not the excursions. If I ever visit again Sahil is the only driver I’d trust to transport me or any of my relatives around the island. He literally goes over and beyond to make your experience beautiful! If In Mauritius you should definitely request Sahil as your driver to and from any excursions! As for the dolphin tour I did love crystal rock! I do suggest that life jackets, better snorkeling gear and or noodles need to be provided or at least mentioned that no life jackets are provided. Snorkeling gear was provided but, it was not up to part at all. Chasing the dolphins & snorkeling would be much easier with life jackets or noodles.

Unforgettable Excursion: Dolphins, Snorkelling, and Island BBQ Bliss

Published on Oct, 2024

We had an amazing time on this group excursion! Although it’s an early start, it's absolutely worth it for the chance to see the dolphins. The snorkeling experience was fantastic, and the BBQ on the island was the perfect way to unwind; great food, a laid-back atmosphere, and plenty of time to relax. Overall, we would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable day out!

Boat trip with dolphin watch, snorkeling and island bbq

Published on Oct, 2024

Excellent day out, be warned it's a very early pick up...6am!! Taxi to the rendezvous and speedboat for our voyage. The crew were great and explained everything well, although more attentive to our French counterparts than the English. First stop was the dolphin swim. Your better off staying in the boat and watching the lovely creatures as being wild they don't hang around to be petted or swum with, I don't think anyone got within 20feet. Second stop at rhe reef to snorkel, saw a few varieties of fish, nothing to big either. Then onto benetiere island for a bbq and sunbathing. The locals have stalls selling clothes, jewelry and ornaments. Not too badly priced and you can haggle. The bbq was excellent, very tasty. After a 2hr stop a speedboat ride back Note to all, take your own towels and water for the boat and snorkels of you have as theirs aren't great It's a brilliant day out and a stunning island, enjoy Simon & Claire
