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 !

Would highly recommend, our guide was very knowledgeable and informative, and we saw lots of dolphins. After that we went down the black river which was also a great experience.

Well organised trip with super friendly staff, good food (bbq on the boat). We were together with a bunch of local people who had great time and dancing on the boat.

We had a really fun day filled with sun, beautiful views, and amazing food. Personal highlight was the snorkeling stop and seeing all of the colorful fishes

Well organised professional staff. Good food, nice boat. Amazing trip.
