An absolutely fabulous trip. We had an amazing day. The crew were attentive and helpful - ensuring we saw the dolphins and swam with the fish. I really couldn’t fault anything about the day and highly recommend.

Simply nothing not to like !! Dolphins, great food, beers, the most friendly crew in the world and the wonderful island of Mauritius as a back drop

We spent a wonderful day in a catamaran with a team at the top: professional, warm and humorous! Everything was perfectly organized, between navigation, swimming, meals, relaxation and friendly Mood. A big bravo to the cook of the day Kevin 👍🏼 Thanks to them for their good humour and attention throughout the day. A memorable experience that we definitely recommend!

Very pleasant excursion, to meet the dolphins. Very nice snorkling moment and visit the island to the benignite via crystal rock. Everything went very well. Crew with little care.

Friendly sea trip managed by a good crew on a comfortable catamaran. Good approach to dolphins and swim in the sea with some fish. Number of guests on board pleasant with a good barbecue meal and drinks enough. Deposit on the island to the benignians is not necessary.

Mega great trip for young and old. Unfortunately with us without dolphins, but that just shows that they are really free and do not follow the routines of people❤️ Very friendly crew , were allowed to do backflip from the boat into the water and also otherwise move us “freely” 👍👍👍 Lunch was wonderfully unconventional very delicious, drinks all inclusive. The ride was worth every penny!

The views & seeing the dolphins were amazing! Food & drinks was plentiful & the food was very tasteful. The skippers were very attentive & helpful, specially with my husband who has mobility issues.

We hired a private large catamaran for a 21st birthday celebration and had an amazing time. The staff were great, professional and very helpful & informative. The boat was super clean and staff looked after us very well. We were privileged to see dolphins and staff made sure the catamaran sailed very close by. We did snorkelling (equipment provided by the catamaran) and visited Crystal Rock on the way to Ile aux Benetiers island for a swim. BBQ food was good with unlimited drinks including local beers, wines & rum. Thanks to Geraldine for making our booking and keep us up to date and staff onboard the catamaran (Vikash & Vikash, Julio, and Kinsley). Definitely worth it and will use JPH Charters again!

We took the private catamaran tour and it was a great day out! Geraldine helped us throughout the booking process making it easy to book this from the UK ahead of our trip. Staff on board was friendly and they cooked a delicious meal with bbq lobster and meats. Also free wine and beers throughout the day, what a treat!
