Awesome trip - Such an amazing trip from beginning to end! Our taxi driver who transported us to and from the boat was amazing and told us about some of the history of the island. The speedboat trip was awesome and a great experience. Our Captain 'Jack Sparrow' was a brilliant host. We saw dolphins and a turtle, drank rum and danced in the Indian Ocean, laughed and sung. In all an amazing trip, worth every penny!

Great day out - My partner and I had a great day out on the boat with our crew, who looked after us well. The food was nice and we enjoyed the drinks, especially the rum. Highlight was the snorkeling, would recommend it for those keen for a day on the water with some drinks and a high energy day.

Best trip by far! - Although the day started a little bit rocky, this was by far the best trip of the holiday! We were picked up 30 minutes prior to what was initially on the booking (8am). However, this wasn't the drivers fault as he had shown us the confirmation he received showing 07:30 - a problem with the agency. Once we drove the to dock location, our driver just told us to wait for a little bit while he contacted the operators to find out where our boat was. 45 minutes went by and we were still on the dock, with no shade or water when it was already very hot. Our driver then took us down the road to another dock where we finally met our boat. The driver stated that someone would be here later to pick us up but it probably wasn't going to be him. Once on the speed boat, our skipper was an absolute delight. VERY funny, relaxed and cheery. Drinks were offered out to everyone and reminders about sunscreen throughout the day. He went through safety instructions and then let us know to hold onto our hats, before turning the music up and speeding off. Snorkelling was fabulous, loads of fish and corals around. Very relaxed and lovely to see so many different fish. The lighthouse drop was great - we were advised how long we had on the island and the boat was in the same place we left it in case we needed to go back for items. Beautiful views of the island and nice to walk around. We then stopped at the water activities - this costs 3000 rupees each so please bear that in mind. But it was very fun parakiting around. It is over quite quickly but it such a fun experience, i would recommend. Although don't ask for photos from the operator as they charge a lot more, our skipper took the photos for us. We then stopped at the fish farm and got to see wild dolphins swimming around which was amazing. Lunch was great! a mix of rice, salad, sea bass, chicken drums and chicken sausages. All drinks were also provided. Very tasty and fulfilling food. Only set back is there is no where to go to the toilet / wash hands - only a bush toilet! The waterfalls were great. There was loads of fish in the water and monkeys on the embankment which we were able to get quite close to and see - we even fed them fruit brought by the skipper. There was a queue of boats lined up to see the waterfall so it was a quick turn around when we go there, but plenty of time to take pictures. Ile aux Cerfs Island is just beautiful, very busy with lots of different boats and people around but had stunning views and soft white sand. There are shops filled with souvenirs in that you can purchase - i believe they take card payments at all stalls. All in all just an amazing trip and definitely the best day we had in Mauritius.

We were late for 1.5... - We were late for 1.5 hours it was not that great to wait in that area with nothing around to do. The tour was planned to finish it on time even if we started later. Not that much time to enjoy the experience you just go from place to place and a time limit everywhere

Avoid! Didn't do half of the itinerary as advertised. - The boat driver was really nice and always made sure your drinks were topped up. However, the tour is disorganised, arrived at the harbour late, dumped on a boat full of French speaking people and being the only British speaking could only talk to each other. The taxi transfer was a rollercoaster and borderline dangerous. While snorkelling equipment was provided, we didn't go to the Blue Bay Marine park as advertised, just some bay full of dead coral. No cocktail drink was received by anyone onboard. Didn't see any shipwrecks as advertised. Overall me and my wife feel robbed. We paid for a fun day put but didn't do half of the things advertised. To save everyone else, please people book elsewhere. If you only do half of the itinerary it should be half the price!

Families and vegetarians- please stay away from this tour - Not at all recommended for a family. This tour is more drinking, smoking and vaping than a 5 island tour. It’s drinking, smoking from start to finish. For individuals and couples who want to enjoy drinking and having a good time on the boat, this is the tour to go. Families and vegetarians - please stay away from this tour. This is not for you. Many of the places mentioned in the tour was not covered. There was no details about the place or islands. The waterfall was the only good experience. The skipper was a DJ playing songs (some good numbers as well) and rest of the crew busy supplying unlimited drinks for 6 hours. The driver who drove us from hotel to the boat was the other highlight for us. He was excellent. Rest everything was just not for us. It’s a wrong trip for families and Viator should really mention that.
