What people are saying about Black River

Superbly organised trip from start to finish! The driver changed the itinerary to accommodate visiting the rumerie on our request… The tea experience was a nice bonus. I sometimes get a bit car sick but our driver took utmost care in providing a smooth ride… Wholeheartedly recommend!

Ehdoton retki mikäli mauritiukselle saapuu lomailemaan. Päivän aikana näki hyvin nähtävyyksien lisäksi itse mauritiusta.

I was a nice trip, we have worse weather at this day, but we enjoyed it. Our guide Deepak is deserves praise.

Informative guide(Mr Vikash), comfortable vehicle, beautiful attractions..recommended!
