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.

Great tour, super nice guide. Highly recommended to explore the beautiful beaches and snorkel spots in private, away from the mass tourists. We saw a lot of fish, monkeys and had an excellent lunch on the beach. We would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you Jean Paul for the wonderful day!

It was really unforgettable moments we had in the catamaran trip, we had the chance to visit the waterfall and we had a great snorkeling and amazing BBQ. Thanks to the amazing crew who made our experience even more better. I strongly recommend this activity.

The private catamaran cruise was absolutely amazing. The crew was incredibly nice and very accommodating. The food on board was so delicious, we totally enjoyed the togetherness on the catamaran and would recommend this tour immediately. :)

Very nice activity. The speedboat allows you to move quickly from one point to another
