Recommended! - An unrivalled experience! Turtles, whales and fish at the rendezvous! An extremely professional and friendly staff. An excellent meal, with our fish caught directly on the boat! This is well above the other types of services found on the island! I recommend to all those who want to live a moment "unlike any other"!

Magic - An unforgettable day with your family! The 2 skippers who accompanied us were attentive and kind and know how to put confidence. We saw dozens of dolphins, turtles and beautiful fish. The on-site barbecue was a wonderful experience. Top quality and quantity. The whole team was there for our family to have a great time. I recommend this exit with your eyes closed

Make a reservation here. Do it now! - Before our trip even began, we were warned that it might be cancelled. Fortunately, it wasn’t! Knowing that they do all those pre-checks made me feel more assured. My wife, our 10-year-old daughter, and I had an amazing time on this boat excursion. Our skipper was incredible; he seemed to know what we wanted even before we did. His knowledge of the waters was impressive, always guiding us to the best spots at the perfect times. He was especially kind and thoughtful with our daughter, helping her chase dolphins and turtles in the water. One of the highlights was our lunch at Ile aux Benetier. The skipper chose a spot far from the crowded beaches, offering us a peaceful and scenic setting. The BBQ lunch exceeded all expectations, featuring calamari, lobster, tuna, and more. They even checked beforehand if my daughter could eat these, and just in case, they prepared sausages for her! Throughout the trip, the skipper shared fascinating details about the island, enriching our experience. Even when we were cruising, he spotted flying fish and made sure we didn’t miss their spectacular ‘flight.’ It was truly an unforgettable moment. Overall, this boat excursion in Mauritius was a fantastic experience, thanks to our attentive and knowledgeable skipper.

Do this trip - Wow. Just wow. Everything was amazing. The skipper knew what we wanted when. Allowed us time to snorkel and explore and for those that wanted to stay longer in the water, we were rewarded. Highly recommend this trip.

KORREK!!!!! - Bolo and Shakti made the day memorable and super special. The Metaphore team ensured that boxes were ticked and they were caring and careful with first time deep sea snorkelers and accommodated those with a taste for the open sea also. We saw sooooooooo much, we saw dolphins, turtles, so many reef fish, experienced reef snorkeling properly for the first time. Our heads were reeling. Superb skippers, pilots and hosts Bolo and Shakti provided information, service and safety. Happy days.

Amazing Trip - We booked the tour for half a day. We left on time, arrived at the dolphins and were able to swim with them. Then we drove to Crystal Rock and went snorkeling in the lagoon. Also we had a swimming session with a sea turtle. The guys on the boat were very cool and friendly. We would definitely recommend them

Unforgettable ! - An extraordinary day thanks to the kindness and kindness of our two skippers. They allowed us to swim with dolphins and discover turtles and rays while snorkeling, with great respect for the wildlife and far from the crowds. Magnificent experience of discovering the lagoon with island experts and a barbecue to taste lobsters! A very big thank you to the entire Métaphore team!

Awesome boat trip - We had a great time. It was an awesome experience. The guides went really out of their way to ensure that we had a good time. We were able to snorkel with turtles and manta rays. We went also to a secluded island and enjoyed a delicious meal with breathtaking views. If we come to Mauritius again we will for sure book a tour with them and we will recommend it to our friends back home. It was an unforgettable experience. Thanks for the awesome day.

Magical experience, a must do! - We had an incredible day! We are a family with 2 children. Jason and his team took us for this magical day. Luck smiled on us by allowing us to swim with the dolphins. The entire team was friendly, patient, smiling, and their joie de vivre made this day even more exceptional. Their way of interacting with marine wildlife was very ethical. And what a delicious meal prepared in front of us on the heavenly beach… I highly recommend them!
