5.00Incredible experience in Mauritius, departing from Flic en Flac! 🌊 Observing and swimming with the dolphins was magical, the snorkeling behind the coral reef was magnificent, and the passage at Crystal Rock was simply spectacular. The barbecue on Île aux Bénitiers was delicious, and especially a big thank you to the crew: a top-notch, professional, and very warm staff. I highly recommend it! 🌴✨
Disappointing in relation to the price

1.00We booked the whale and dolphin tour (including snorkeling and drinks) and were rather disappointed overall. According to the description, drinks should be included, but we were not offered anything throughout the tour. We also assumed that we would then snorkel/swim with the dolphins as part of the tour, but were not asked if we wanted to go into the water, and there was no explanation for this. Was also better in the end, as super many boats and tourists were everywhere the ones almost “hunting” animals. The tour was fine in the end, but for us it was absolutely not the price-performance ratio. In addition, the guide barely spoke and gave very little information, which significantly reduced the experience. We do not recommend the tour.
“Whale Watching as It Should Be”

5.00Absolutely amazing whale watching experience! 🐋 I loved every minute of it. The crew was not only friendly and professional but also deeply respectful of the whales and the ocean. Unlike some other a**holes who break the law and let people snorkel near the animals (which disturbs them), this company followed all the rules and kept a proper distance. You could really feel their love and respect for nature. It was a truly ethical and unforgettable experience — I’d recommend it 100%!
Highly recommended

5.00The guide was very knowledgeable about naval biology. He knew so much about the animals and was happy to share his knowledge with us. All in all, he was a mixture of an actor (he told interesting and captivating) and university professor (in terms of his knowledge), which I think is ideal for a guide. We had seen a group of sperm whales, but also dolphins and - while snorkeling (which I really recommend) - also a ... Mura eel! That was great. The whole morning was great. It is problematic to do whale watching in Mauritius because the whales are very crowded and hunted by the providers and tourists. But this provider is characterized by a lot of empathy towards the whales and cares about their welfare. So - if whale watching in Mauritius, then here.
Wouldnt go again

3.00Trip ended 45mins before it was supposed to end. On the way back from the whale watching, they just kept going in the direction of the beach where the boats were at. And After 20mins of trying to find dolphins on the way back, they didnt gave us any info, just went back to port 45mins earlier. Also the whale watching was kind of macabre, 10+ boats chasing one whale and circling it in. Wasnt fun for us, nor the whales.
Experience whale watching up close

4.00We had some reservations at first, as there were very few reviews, but booked the tour anyway – and were not disappointed! Directly after booking we received a confirmation via WhatsApp, which was very straightforward. It was planned to start at 7:00 a.m., in fact it started at 7:30 a.m. Overall we were on the water for about two and a half hours and were offered a drink. After about 30 minutes we saw the first whales – a really impressive experience! Later, even a dolphin appeared. The tour was really great overall and the crew very friendly. The only small criticism: For our taste, the ride should have been a little longer. And a snorkel stop was unfortunately not included. Important: Definitely bring waterproof clothing, as the high swell caused water to come on board. Nevertheless, absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to watch whales!
Amazing experience

5.00We were greeted by friendly tour staff. The boat left on time. We boat was fast so got us out to the whales quickly. The crew were very knowledgeable and humorous. Seeing the magnificent sperm whales up close was worth every rupee. Wonderful experience.
