Waste of money

1.00How can they call this swimming with turtles. The experience was nothing like advertised. 2 minute boat ride to a murky area. Not the 30 minute boat ride each way a natural aquarium as advertised. 1 turtle if you are lucky when fed. But 5 boats and about 30-40 people all fighting to get a glimpse. What a waste of money.
Great day

5.00Take your own snorkels unless you're happy enough to use one's provided on the boat. If you can take an underwater go pro or pouch for your phone to take amazing footage of turtles and fish. Deepak is a very knowledgeable guide - encourages you to try local delicacies which were nice. 5⭐️ to Deepak!
To repeat but with our guide Dipak

4.00I really looked forward to the swim with turtles. That’s not it was. There was one poor turtle being chased down by at least 5 other boats also full of tourist. The coral was dead due to the high volume of people and tourist boats and lots of sea urchins so bring water shoes. But the second part was good. Nishel was our driver and guide. He asked what we liked, needed and took us around. Food was good got vanilla like I wanted. He explained the culture, history and life on Mauritius.
Wonderful authentic Mauritanian culture

5.00Our guide for the day was Deepak, who was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and very happy to engage in conversation, explaining the history of the island along our journey. He took us to places we wouldn’t have found on our own, and the experience was definitely worth doing. The snorkelling was excellent, and we managed to swim very close to a turtle within 10 minutes on the boat. The boiled noodles are delicious!
Beautiful experience

4.00It was good. The turtle was really close but some other tourists couldn't resist the urge to touch the friendly critter even after several hints not to do so. We have some great videos of the beautiful reptile. The street food tour was also good. It was our first time in Port Louis and it looks so vibrant and interesting. Our guide Deepak gave us in Port Louis and on the way to the turtle beach some interesting trivia and insights about Mauritius. Overall a great trip.

1.00We went with VIATORS it was the worst experience I have ever had, we were dragged by the boat, shouted at and was only in the water about 15 to 30 minutes, the boat driver was throwing fish at the turtles which frightened them, my daughter and I were so scared of being shouted at we swam back to shore which was about 800m for a 14 year old anything could have gone wrong.

1.00We booked this trip and were so upset it was the worst day I have ever had, firstly we were in the water for less then 15 minutes, the boat driver shouted at myself and my daughter and we were so scared to get back on the boat we swam to shore, it was quite away in deep water, the boat gets so close to the turtles and throwing fish at them very hard, that they weren't happy at all, this is cruel. From start of getting into the boat to it ending was about 30 minutes max.
