Mauritius · TOUR REVIEWS
A week on one coast, and an island that hands you a different day out from every jetty on it. The 15 below are the days that earn their place, priced and timed, with the full catalogue underneath when you want to go deeper.
Sail to Ile aux Cerfs from Trou d’Eau Douce with snorkeling, waterfalls, a BBQ lunch, drinks, hotel transfers, and a friendly crew.
“What a fabulous day. Loved the snorkelling also enjoyed the energy the staff had. They were always engaging and attentive. It was so good to see lots of the Island, the transport to and from our apartment was excellent.”
Cruise Mauritius’ Northern Isles by catamaran with snorkeling, white-sand beaches, a BBQ lunch, and a chance to spot turtles or dolphins.
“The trip was great, the guides and crew were all friendly and warm, the islands were amazing. Just be aware that the trip from the mainland to the islands themselves can get quite rough, so you may prefer to sit in the back on the seats, rather than the netting up front where you're more exposed to the sea. We were sat up front and a few waves smashed directly into us. It was quite fun actually but quite rough too, so you'd just want to be aware of that.”
Swim with wild dolphins, snorkel at Crystal Rock, enjoy a beach BBQ, and relax on Île aux Bénitiers with hotel transfers across Mauritius.
“A very early pick up 5.45am and then over an hour wait on the beach for the boat didn't feel like a good start but once we were underway the day was everything we wanted and more. We saw dolphins many times, a pod of between 30-50 ! Unfortunately as soon as we got in the water they ducked away and popped up 30 ft away! Definitely playing with us! The guide was respectful of the dolphins and although it was a case of spot them then try and get a little closer this was done gently. We were also lucky enough to see sea turtles, what amazing majestic creatures…”
Explore southwest Mauritius by private car, from Trou aux Cerfs and Grand Bassin to Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorge, and Chamarel’s colored earth.
“We had a wonderful trip in the southwest of Mauritius with our private driver Atish. He drove very safely and smoothly, which was especially important for us as a family with two small children. Along the way, he even added a few “secret” photo stops that we would never have found on our own. That made the tour really special. He also shared a lot of interesting information about the island and explained everything very clearly. He was punctual, very courteous, and took care of everything. Overall, everything was excellent and we would book him again anytime. Highly recommended!”

Review of Mauritius’s Ile aux Cerfs catamaran cruise, with waterfall views, snorkeling, BBQ lunch, drinks, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Amazing! Such good hosts constantly providing refreshments. Very good value for money, would recommend to anybody. A beautiful and comfortable day at sea. Snorkelling spot could have been better and would have been good to see the dolphins but that’s not in control I guess!”
