What people are saying about Grand Baie

The tour was excellent. The guides were friendly and helpful. The locations we were taken to were wonderful and the guides ensured we got good snorkelling. We noticed too that our tour left earliest and got back to harbour latest, meaning we were out for the longest. The bbq lunch was incredibly generous and genuinely delicious. Our only feedback would be a recommendation to wear swim shoes as the beaches have a lot of loose coral on them, and a sign on the beach indicating the meeting point.

Samir is very kind and profissional. Better with a private boat than with 30 or more people in a catamaran We left very early to arrive before the other catamarans (16 in all) we had the island just for us. I saw turtles. The food was very good. Then we went snorkeling at Coin de Mire, arriving before everyone else, we were able to enjoy and see the fish. The boat was clean. Everything was perfect.

Our guide was on time with a large, very clean car at the hotel. He brought our wishes together in a tour that not only allowed us to do everything we wanted, but also saw a lot more. He was very friendly and informative about the island. He even came to the supermarket as an adviser and guided us to products from Mauritius.

Sameer is very friendly and outgoing without being intrusive. Very professional and secure. It has one of the only shaded gazebos and its lunch was simple but excellent. Even my children who were moderately excited were delighted at the end of the day!

had a perfect day with the Wind Dancer Catamaran crew. from start till end, they made sure we have all we need and fell perfect. the cruise was super smooth. food and drinks were delicious. recommend this tour to everyone visiting Mauritius.
