A Boat Trip Into Paradise - We used JPH for an excursion on our honeymoon, and we booked a boathouse at the Tamassa resort. The whole day was brilliant. We made an error with our transfer, and turned up 30 minutes late for the taxi, which in turn meant we turned up ten minutes after the scheduled departure. Was there a hint of displeasure at us? Nope, nothing. The catamaran was well-equipped, the crew were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience was just superb. We saw dolphins, then did some snorkelling before a BBQ lunch. The BBQ was great, by the way - sausages, fish, steak, chicken and all the salad and pasta you wanted. It was all prepped right there on the boat. All your drinks were included in the price, and there was no skimping - if you wanted a beer, you got a beer. If you wanted rum and coke, you got rum and coke. Of course, the beautiful surroundings helped, the warm blue sea, sandy beach of the island we stopped at and the warm sun, but that alone doesn't get five stars. Like everything in Mauritius, it was the people that set it apart, from the warm, 'no-pressure' enquiry at the boathouse right through to the staff on the boat. Nothing was too much trouble. If we're ever back in Mauritius, and I hope we are, I wouldn't hesitate to use JPH again.

Best tour - What an amazing experience!! The crew took so good care of us, telling us the history behind what we were seeing, always taking care of us, attention to detail. We saw the dolphins, snorkeling, visit the island. The food was perfect and the beverage were always coming! Recommend, top!!

Great experience - professional company - We booked the ‚dolphin trip‘ and the ‚catamaran trip‘. Both trips were great and we enjoyed every minute. We booked our trips with a transfer organized by the company. They picked us up from the hotel and brought us back in time. The staff of the company was so kind, friendly & funny. They made sure that we are comfortable and that we are enjoying our trip. The staff was respectful with the underwater animals, especially with the dolphins. There was always enough space between the boat and the dolphins. And the dolphins were never in a stressful situation. This was very important for us. The staff did a lot of great shots of us and we had so much fun. At the catamaran trip the staff was cooking for us at the boat (chicken, fish and shrimps). They also served salad, rice, baguette and a variety of different sauces. The food was great. Summarizing both trips with this organisation were professional and so cool. We loved it and we can only recommend it !! Lovely greeting from Austria, Michelle & Daniela <3

Very nice day with family - Despite the weather being a little unpredictable, we had a wonderful experience as a family. Catamaran sailing, dolphin and whale watching, excellent lunch on board, swimming in the lagoon and (a little short) stopover on Île aux Bénitiers. All with a very friendly and attentive crew.

Super nice trip out to sea - The crew is very nice and eager, the BBQ was really great. All drinks are included and are always actively offered. The catamaran is in very good condition. The weather didn't play along with us, but we still had a very nice day despite the rain. A nice add-on was the sighting of whales. This tour is definitely worthwhile!

A day catamaran cruise - excellent experience - We have been offered a pleasurable catamaran cruise by Sylvester from the Tamassa boat house in Bel Ombre. The day trip included plenty of activities including dolphin watching, snorkelling and swimming with fishes, BBQ on board, visiting Chrystal rock and the coastal market on Bènitiers island. The whole day was relaxed, smooth and beautiful how Sylvester described before this we must highlight that it really worth it! All the transfer the cruise were organised very well thus we have had a memorable day on board on our honeymoon. Thank you again for Sylvester and the catamaran cruise crew for the great hospitality, delicious BBQ and fun! We are going to be back! E & G from the 11/10/2023 group

A must-see excursion with top-notch staff! - An exceptional day on a catamaran! Everything was perfect from start to finish, a more than friendly crew, always attentive, listening to everyone's wishes. The dolphins, the meal and the drinks were more than generous and all that in a great atmosphere! We recommend this activity with our eyes closed! Thanks again !
