Brilliant service - Manav our driver was very good arrived on time and drove very carefully. He was very helpful at offering us advice on local trips and restaurants we could visit which was very helpful given it was our first time in Mauritius. In our way to the destination Manav told us about the islands history and culture which was also very interesting. Would recommend this company to anyone who wishes to tour around the island

My favorite part about my vacation was my driver Sahil ♥️ - My favorite part about each excursion was my driver Sahil♥️ Sahil is so kind, patient and knowledgeable! I only gave 5 stars for my experience with Sahil not the excursions. If I ever visit again Sahil is the only driver I’d trust to transport me or any of my relatives around the island. He literally goes over and beyond to make your experience beautiful! If In Mauritius you should definitely request Sahil as your driver to and from any excursions! As for the dolphin tour I did love crystal rock! I do suggest that life jackets, better snorkeling gear and or noodles need to be provided or at least mentioned that no life jackets are provided. Snorkeling gear was provided but, it was not up to part at all. Chasing the dolphins & snorkeling would be much easier with life jackets or noodles.

Unforgettable Excursion: Dolphins, Snorkelling, and Island BBQ Bliss - We had an amazing time on this group excursion! Although it’s an early start, it's absolutely worth it for the chance to see the dolphins. The snorkeling experience was fantastic, and the BBQ on the island was the perfect way to unwind; great food, a laid-back atmosphere, and plenty of time to relax. Overall, we would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable day out!

Boat trip with dolphin watch, snorkeling and island bbq - Excellent day out, be warned it's a very early pick up...6am!! Taxi to the rendezvous and speedboat for our voyage. The crew were great and explained everything well, although more attentive to our French counterparts than the English. First stop was the dolphin swim. Your better off staying in the boat and watching the lovely creatures as being wild they don't hang around to be petted or swum with, I don't think anyone got within 20feet. Second stop at rhe reef to snorkel, saw a few varieties of fish, nothing to big either. Then onto benetiere island for a bbq and sunbathing. The locals have stalls selling clothes, jewelry and ornaments. Not too badly priced and you can haggle. The bbq was excellent, very tasty. After a 2hr stop a speedboat ride back Note to all, take your own towels and water for the boat and snorkels of you have as theirs aren't great It's a brilliant day out and a stunning island, enjoy Simon & Claire

Nice excursion - Excursion carried out with the tourist agency Discovery . Serious agency in Flic en Flac. 2 excursions to the top, the benign and the deer island. Boat captains at the top as well as the animator for the benign. Great respect for dolphins, great safety on board. Good organization, lots of kindness. Award correct. We were very satisfied with both services.

A magical day - An unforgettable experience! We had the chance to observe dozens of dolphins and even swim with them. Many thanks to the guides Peanut and Bryan for their listening and good mood throughout the day, they really contributed to a friendly atmosphere. Small point to improve: the meal, which was correct but not exceptional. Furthermore, although we were informed that a bottle of water would be offered upon arrival, this was not the case. So consider providing water for the boat. One more positive: transfer to and from our Airbnb has been taken care of, which is very convenient.

No show driver - Me and my partner had this booked a while in advance and we were both super excited for this. We woke up to meet the driver for 6am. We waited until this was meant to start being 7am, and no one had showed up. We waited a little longer just to be sure and still nothing. While we were waiting we had the hotel call the international number multiple times but there was no answer. We ended up getting someone to call an Australian customer service number and they were able to speak to a representative who said they tried to contact us, which we didn’t receive any communication. We are very disappointed with this experience that we cancelled another activity we had booked a couple of days later through the same company. The only positive thing is that we were able to get a refund for both activities, but I won’t be booking through this company again.

To flee!!!! - To flee, because not at all the service announced! we paid 100 euros each so people who made the excursion with us paid 30 euros for an excursion to the “benitier” they were told they would not see a dolphin. Why did we end up on the same excursion when we were supposed to be focused on dolphins? we felt like fools who had been fooled. we saw zero dolphins, we had a 5h30 performance when it was announced between 6 and 7am. we spent most of the time on the island when we could have done more snorkeling or something. The drinks we had at first to drink from the same bottle because they had the flemme to take out the glasses. The meal, the seafood we didn't see the color! There were 20 of us on the boat instead of 14 announced. in short really expensive for what is to avoid!!!
