1.00EXCURSION BAD!!!! Don't do it please!!! They sell you at 120€ on excursion that is not even worth half!!! Museums closed, snorkeling if you can call it that (maybe they don't even know what it means) take you 1 minute from the shore torpid water, nn you see nothing!! And when you tell them and this snorkeling they answer yes annoyed! Not to mention the market, a dirty street 3 stalls!!! Do not rely on this tour and nn waste your money!! Don't do it!!!!

4.00We had a wonderful day on this tour, with particular highlights including the Vanille Crocodile Park and the Blue Bay Marine Park. The Mahebourg Waterfront was a bit of a let down, although that's mainly to do with it being out of season so it was practically deserted. We did get a good view of the Lion Mountain from there though. I'm giving the tour four stars rather than five because our guide seemed quite inexperienced. He didn't seem to know how the snorkelling option in the Blue Bay Marine Park worked, and had we not pushed the point we wouldn't have got to do it (which would have been a real shame as the marine life and coral were simply stunning).

4.00Our day started with La Vanille Nature Park where we thoroughly enjoyed the Giant Tortoises wandering freely amongst the visitors which my son and all adults were amazed by their friendly nature. We then went to Mahebourg Museum which although small it’s history is very insightful regarding maritime war and slavery. Next was a trip to the local market which was vibrant with local people selling their fruit and vegetables along with street sellers targeting visitors. Following this we had lunch at a local restaurant serving local food such as curry and fish. Finally to end our day we visited the most beautiful beach at Blue Bay Marine Park surrounded by local people picnicking. The views we spectacular and our boat trip guide was very informative showing us the different corals and talking about their aims for preservation of the reef. We decided to remain in the boat but we’re also given the choice to snorkel if we wished to take a closer look at the various fish around us. Our driver was very friendly and talkative throughout our day giving us information about our places of visit and life on Mauritius.
