one of the best memories of my Mauritian adventure - A more than magnificent day, between waterfalls dolphin, monkey, a skipper Donovan to recommend more more this day was splendid. A boat of six where we were not tight like sardines, everything was perfect, barbecue music, what to ask 2 + 1 wonder.

Amazing Trip!! - Tinos boats provided the tour and I have to say it was one of the best value for money and most enjoyable excursions we’ve ever done as a family on holiday.
The skipper was brilliant- he ensured everyone had a great time and really went the extra mile in maximising the experience for everyone.
Not only did we visit all the expected locations but we also spotted dolphins, turtles and even had monkeys onboard from the trees that we were able to feed.
The boat itself went at quite a speed with the skipper circling and jumping waves it really added to the entertainment.
Capped at 12 people and great music throughout - I give this excursion a big thumbs up!!!!!

A great outing - Great experience, speedboat trip to go around the islands. We were not disappointed our pilot at the top (I forgot his name and I am really sad because otherwise I would have highly recommended I have two clues he was before in the hotel and he also works as a mason) made us have a great time, in addition to the beautiful landscapes we saw turtles, dolphins, monkeys, small birds that eat in hand.
Thanks to him for this good atmosphere in the boat and his welcome

Great experienc - would recommend - Would highly recommend Tino’s Boats. The skipper was great, he explained what we would be doing throughout the day, talked about the different islands and gave us lots of “coffee” aka. rum and coke. The highlight of the tour was getting to see and feed the monkeys.
Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great, but this is no reflection on the service we received. The guide tried his best to do everything dispute the rain. They do also give the option to postpone the trip if you wish Togo on a nicer day but we didn’t have time so we went anyway.
The snorkelling was great, and a turtle even swam past near the lighthouse!
The food was great on the island and they kept bringing more around, as well as drinks. There was an option to leave tips after the food which we gave, we did think this was for the skipper too but at the end he also had a tip jar, so we did give him a tip too. We’d have preferred to give him all the money as he had the biggest job entertaining us all day ☺️

Would 100% recommend to everyone - Would highly recommend to everyone visiting Mauritius. Very good value for money. We had so much fun on a group tour on 20th of June. Visited 5 islands, there was also time for snorkelling around colourful fish, looking for dolphins, watching monkeys and a tasty barbecue. One of the most enjoyable days during our stay.

To do ! - Superb atmosphere despite average weather. Manu, our Pilot, supervised us well. He is a person who knew how to put us at ease with the whole group, while taking us from island to island with his speed boat
Manu Hat👍

Nice overview of the islands in the north-east by speed boat - It leaves at 8-9am and you're back around 3:30-4pm. There were six of us on the boat, which was very relaxed. You drive to the stations and get a little information there (but it's not an event where you really impart knowledge). The ride on the speed boat is fun but it's also quite bumpy and can be hard on your back. The islands are all very beautiful and you have a short time to go on them or look at them from the outside or go for a swim. We thought the BBQ was very tasty. The spot we chose for snorkeling isn't that nice because the coral is dead there. I'm sure there are better places. We fed monkeys and saw dolphins. With a bit of luck we might also see turtles.

Overrated - Nice beaches, but overrated in my opinion. You can beaches just as nice all over Mauritius. Predictable restaurants and gift shops.

Over priced and BBQ rip off - Nice day out but the BBQ was not great. First time I have ever been served chicken with two live bugs on! They were baby cockroachs, eating the chicken. When I got served this the shock on my face showed to the guy serving who quickly picked it up and gave me a new piece. There was no way I was going to eat that.
Fish was ok and I have not got ill.
Rum was refilled old bottle.
Ask for beer if you want it, as its not offered same with diet coke. U have to pay extra for coffee, and beach is boring, just wanted to get back.
I tried to find a toilet on the 'private beach'', and then saw where they cook the food! OMG wish I had seen this before eating.
Asked for loos, told to go wild in Bush or sea.
Would mark this lower but the boat trip was good, but due to rain we came back so fast that I had wind burn on my face, very painful.
Basically a rip off for tourists.
Why not offer more, I guess they know we won't come back anyway.
