Great experience however, swimming with dolphins requires one to be a strong and fast swimmer. Our guide, Fabrice, was very patient and good with kids. My 4yr old got to snorkel and spend some time swimming in the ocean. The bbq lunch on the island had its highs and lows. Food tasted amazing but there was a long wait to get it. We also felt that the time on the island could have been cut by an hour or so.

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.

We had a great time during this full-day on a speedboat. We had the chance to see so many beautiful landscapes ! The team is absolutely great, friendly, ready to talk about their island and to make everything so you can spend an unique moment. Thank you again for your kindness, and everything, if we go back to Mauritius we will certainly book another tour !

Beautiful scenery, snorkelling was excellent. The swim in the waterfalls was amazing. Lovely lunch and Coco explained the history of the island really well. Highly recommend.

Super efficient, on time, good food, very very kind people and guide and just a great way to see a part of Mauritius!
