Excellent north of the island tour - Amazing experience with the turtles, and a very knowledgable and helpful guide in Deepak. A great day out.
I would recommend if you’re staying in the north of Mauritius.

Great excursion - Thanks to Baboo we had a great snapshot of Port Louis before going up north to swim with the turtles, we rounded things off with a delicious lunch by the sea - Baboo was a super guide!

Great tour, absolutely reasonable value for money - A great tour! Baboo, our guide was in a good mood, very flexible and told us a lot. The snorkeling in the Grand Baie was very nice and two turtles also visited us. The part "Food Tour" probably depends on the time rather on the favorable tides to see turtles. If that is the focus of interest, there are probably other tours with more focus on "food"

Excellent day swimming with turtles - I was picked up at the cruise terminal promptly at the quoted time and driven by Baboo to the beautiful beach location for swimming with turtles. The beach is very nice with bathrooms, showers and changing rooms. The boat ride is quick because the turtles are not far. Get prepared as soon as you get on the boat. You can view from the glass bottom boat or the ocean. Please know, nothing is guaranteed but the crew will do everything possible to make sure your experience is wonderful. It was a great day for a beach tour. Afterwards we had the street food tour, markets, China town, waterfront, citadel and tea tasting. Everything was wonderful. Also keep in mind there is traffic. You may be delayed due to everyone else living their best life. This was well worth the fee and I enjoyed myself. For best enjoyment, leave the camera in the boat and just enjoy the ocean experience. Along with turtles are starfish, and a variety of colorful fish and marine life. Every day will produce something new. I had great weather and was dropped back off at the cruise port well within time for departing. Thank you for a great tour day.

Turtles, Markets, and Tea-Tasting: A Perfect Day in Mauritius, Thanks to Baboo! - Baboo was an exceptional tour guide, and his commitment to treating clients like friends really stood out! Our day began with a trip to swim with sea turtles. Although it can be unpredictable with wild animals, the drivers were patient, and we were lucky enough to swim alongside a sea turtle!
Afterward, Baboo took us to the Citadel Fort, where we enjoyed a good viewpoint over Port Louis. On the way, we stopped for some delicious street food, which added to the experience. We then explored the markets, where Baboo made sure we sampled a variety of fantastic local foods.
We wrapped up the day with a visit to learn about the history of tea, followed by a tea-tasting ceremony, which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a wonderful day, and Baboo's guidance made it even more special. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Not much to the tour but very organized. - Babo was very polite and took us to the food market to show us how they order street food. We also went to the Citadel and he pointed out other main buildings. We went to the beach where another gentlemen escorted us to the boat for swimming with turtles. The water was refreshing but I did not see turtles. My husband saw one. Then Babo took us for a great local lunch. We had internet in the car while driving. It was very pleasant.

Don’t contribute towards for torturing turtles! - Absolute carnage! Far too many boats filled with people swarming the turtles, humans were kicking them with not a care, the turtles were scared and were looking for air, but so many humans this was difficult to do! If I knew this is how they did this trip I would never of contributed towards it! I am So naive and thinking Mauritius would be protecting these magnificent creatures, they are actually scaring them and killing them off! The government needs to get involved and the companies who provide the trips( limited boats)
