1.00This experience was awful from befinning to end. Upon arrival, our transfer driver handed us over to the skipper of the boat who didin't even greet us, he just turned around and started walking along the beach towards the boat. This young man called himself Peanuts and we soon found out that he hade no interest in us whatsoever. On the boat was another man, Brian, who at least made made some sort of effort to do his job. He briefly explained what we would be doing and then asked if they could play musik, which we accepted. Unfortunately, this meant having to listen to blasting music, many songs on repeat, the whole day. I asked four times if they would turn the music down so we could talk to eachother but after a few minutes the volume was back to full again. At every stop we did, Penuts would cheer up, talking (yelling) to his friends on the other boats, dancing, smoking and passing his cigarettes to the drivers of the other boats. But when when our son would ask him or Brian questions about the fish we saw when snorkling, the would hardly answer or just pretend they didn't hear the question. On the final Island Peanuts was on our boat trying to get som young girls from another boat to come over to drink beer on our boat. On the way back, he started racing the boat with his friends, chasing them and jumping on the waves their boat made. We were all extremely uncomfortable and at some points, even scared. We did 6 boat trips during our stay in Maurirous, most at half or even a third of the price we paid for this private tour, and they were all wonderful. This was a terrible day.
superb swimming experience with dolphins!

5.00A great day, a super friendly competent skipper! we were able to admire lots of dolphins, we swam in open water with them! one of the best excursions in Mauritius! Direct pick-up from your hotel, once we arrived at the port, the skipper took care of us and set off for a day at sea, snorkeling, then a barbecue on the island of Benitiers, sunbathing, swimming and then return to the port and the hotel, well organised ! thanks again !

5.00Although the weather didn't cooperate for the first hour, this was quite an experience. The views of the island from the boat are wonderful, especially as you approach Ile aux Beneiters. Excellent view of Le Morne and the landscape. The water was crystal clear, and the scenery was just breathtaking.
unforgettable experience in mauritius
