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!

Authentic flavours & Turtles - Swimming with turtles was the key highlight! Our guide, Baboo was great, he checked with the boat to ensure the best conditions to have a chance to seee the turtles - we saw and swam with two of these majestic creatures. Baboo also adjusted the sequence of our day with him to accommodate the turtles. The citadel and main market were interesting - although we’d have liked to wander around more and have been brave enough to barter for some souvenirs. The authentic food Baboo arranged for us from a stall in the market, and a street side vendor were tasty and gave a hint of the rich Indian and Asian heritage of Maritius! All in all it was a great day out.

Turtle Outing and Port Louis Point of Sale - A very friendly execution, with a Guide (Baboo) taking care of us. Interesting culinary discoveries and highlighting local productions. Not to mention the magic moment shared with the sea turtles. I recommend.

Fantastic family day out - Fantastic fun for the whole family! Lots to see and do. Special thanks to our guide Dipak, who took us to some great spots for food tasting and shared his knowledge of the island. Very accommodating to our family’s needs. Snorkeling with the turtles was an amazing experience. Citadel views of the city were good.

Great travel experience. - Swimming with the turtles is by far one of the best things I've ever done. The entire experience was very enjoyable and made for a great travel experience. My guide-Baboo, was really great; kind and very patient.
The street food tour was also good, found my new favourite drink (Pearona).

Excellent excursion - I highly recommend the excursion to swim with the turtles and then the gastronomic trip with Turquoise Voyages. The organization was impeccable and the landscapes breathtaking. It was an enriching and memorable experience.
Many thanks to Baboo, our exceptional guide, for his enthusiasm, knowledge and attention. Thanks to him, this excuse

What a memorable day! - This tour was absolutely brilliant! Baboo my driver was so friendly, kind and knowledgeable. It was an absolute pleasure to be in his company. He picked me up from my hotel and took me to the beach to take the boat to see the turtles. On the way there he told me many interesting things about Mauritius. I had some time to relax and swim on the beach, which was stunning before I got on the boat to see the turtles. What a magical experience that was and the guys running the boats are very good at what they do and make sure you get the best views of the turtles. On the way back we stopped for a delicious lunch, where local people eat. He then took me to the Citadel viewpoint and around the market to try some Mauritian snacks. This tour represents great value for money as it is full of many different experiences- I would recommend this tour to anyone!

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)
