Absolutely loved this trip. Deepak our driver/guide was friendly & very knowledgeable. The drive to Trou Beach passed so quickly as he gave us lots of information on the areas we passed through. The guys on the boat to the lagoon were friendly & helpful too. They pointed out where the turtles were so we could snorkel across to them. We saw two turtles, whilst in the water, who swam around us & another one from the boat. The chicken noodles at Balaclava Marina were excellent, really tasty. We then travelled back to Port Louis for tea tasting & then onto the market. After parking on the sea front, Deepak gave us lots of information about Port Louis on the walk to the market. Once at the market, we had pineapple with Tamarin, Dhal Puri & a compressed milk sweet dessert & a drink called Alouda(?) which was condensed milk, strawberry & chia seeds with a blob of ice cream - absolutely delicious! We then drove to a souvenir shop where we bought a wooden dodo, flavoured rum & other items. We then travelled back to our hotel, again being given lots of interesting information. I would definitely recommend this trip & if you are lucky enough to get Deepak as your driver, it will be an amazing excursion.

Babu and Ale imour driver were great. Good choices of food spots. Transport was very convenient and everything was well organised. Good local food choices especially the noodles on the first stop. The turtle viewing was very good but maybe slightly crowded may have been better going earlier on the morning, but that is by no fault of the tour as they really organised it well, it just depends on the season and seeing a turtle swim underneath me a couple of times was a wonderful experience.
Wonderful day out.

Fantastic day out. Was picked up at our hotel at time specified by our driver and guide for the day Deepak. We went on a short drive and went for our swim with the turtles. You are instructed not to touch or dive down to the turtles. We were lucky to arrive early enough so there was only a few people in the water. The boat trip is only 5 mins from the beach. After this we started our guided street food tour. Everything was delicious. Time in the city was fab. Deepak, our guide was fantastic, very helpful and accommodating. The whole trip lasted about 5.5 hours.
Perfect day out!

My husband and i just got back from our tour with Deebak. It was so so perfect! We loved swimming with the dolphins - we stopped off on our way to Port Louis for fried noodle street food. Deebak showed us around the city and told us about its history and politics. The food and drinks were all amazing, we loved everything we tried. We also went tea tasting which was wonderful. If you’re new to Mauritius and would like to get an authentic feel for the culture, I really recommend this tour. Deebak is really friendly and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. I recommend bringing your own snorkel and towel. 10/10 experience!
See Mauritius through the eyes of a Mauritian.

Mauritius is a very nice island to visit. Naboo and Deepak were great, we got a taste of local culture and food. If your looking for an experience outside of the tourist locals, this is a must.
