Too many people on the boat - Trip was ok boat was over crowded but it was a enjoyable experience over all.people allowing their children too run wild and climb over every body spoilt it a bit but no the tour operators fault.

A relaxing boat trip lots of changes to small boats - We booked this trip before travelling to Mauritius it was a relaxed experience and very good, but the initial advertisement was a max of 12 to 15 people on the boat and there were at least 24 to 28 people. The crew were nice but didn’t really engage with us and during the snorkelling section we were advised that the currents were extremely strong so no one on the boat participated in this activity which was disappointing.

Cheaper to book locally. Disappointing waterfall - Much cheaper if booked locally and not through Tripadvisor. Good day out. Disappointing waterfall - would’ve preferred to skip this and spend more than 1 hour on Ile aux Cerfs, which was beautiful. Pretty crowded with 38 on board
