“My driver took me to wrong place in the morning. There was like 50 minutes to meeting point. I was so upset that I missed the boat. Then I called the agency. Priscilla & Cathline were so helpful and calming, they arranged me another boat. I can’t thank them enough. And the tRead more”
Review of Mauritius’s 7-hour speedboat tour to Île aux Cerfs, with snorkeling, lighthouse, waterfall, beach BBQ, drinks, and local guides.
“Best tour I did in Mauritius! So worth the money!! Extremely good guides, delicious (and unlimited) drinks and they make sure you get to see all of the places without the hordes of tourists you see on other boats. The food was truly amazing and our spot on the beach was super secluded. Paradise!!!”
Sail from Grand Baie to Ilot Gabriel for snorkeling, island time, a BBQ lunch, drinks, and views of Coin de Mire.
“Fantastic trip which is unmissable if you like the open water and pristine beaches. Sailing away from Grand Baie into the open waters can be a little choppy but relatively mild. You sail to these fantastic islands through blue seas and we spotted dolphins swimming alongside even if only for a few seconds. The snorkelling on Illiot George is spectacular and the beaches paradise like. Final word must go to the crew of the Dawn which were fantastic - witty, helpful, friendly and keen to please. A nice party atmosphere the final 30 minutes of the boat ride to wake us up from the post-meal/post-sun slumber.”

“Super excursion des spots de plongée parfait. On aurait juste aimé rester un peu plus sur l ile aux cerfs”
Sail Mauritius’s turquoise lagoon to Ile aux Cerfs, with snorkeling, a waterfall visit, BBQ lunch, drinks, and hotel pickup options.
“L’équipage était au top et le repas très bon. Seulement, on nous a fait embarquer sous un mauvais temps, avec énormément de vent et de nuages. Nous avons eu très froid durant toute l’excursion, ce qui nous a empêché de profiter, et de faire du snorkling. Je pense qu’il aurait été préférable de reporter ou d’annuler la sortie, car nous n’en gardons pas un très bon souvenir. Cependant, je pense qu’avec un beau temps, la sortie aurait pu être très bien. Mais c’est vraiment dommage de faire cette sortie avec le mauvais temps.”
Ride a speedboat to waterfalls and Ile aux Cerfs, with a beach BBQ, drinks, swimming, and optional hotel transfers in Mauritius.
“A comida do almoço estava muito boa e num sítio bonito. O transfer até à tour correu bem. Depois a viagem até à ilha foi confusa, queriam que fôssemos em Catamarã quando compramos speedboat. Combinaram as 12h irem nos buscar para o almoço e só apareceram às 12h40. Depois no regresso tivemos de aguardar 40minutos pelo transfer. Deviam organizar melhor a tour em si.”

Review of Mauritius’s private three-island boat trip from Grand Baie, with early island access, beach BBQ, snorkeling, drinks, and practical tips.

Swim with wild dolphins, snorkel coral reefs, see Crystal Rock, and enjoy a BBQ lunch on Benitier Island in Mauritius.
“La actividad era nado con delfines más snorkel y barbacoa. A pesar de no haber visibilidad y saberlo de antemano la excursión no se canceló con el único objetivo de cobrar. además la excursión era de 7 horas y duró sólo 4 horas. Una estafa en toda regla.”
