Katie_N, Jul 2026

Our driver for the...

Our driver for the Chamarel Tour was Keni, who was very friendly, informative and a save driver. We were able to adjust our itinerary so we could fit in a helicopter flight from Chameral at the start and then did the itinerary in reverse order, skipping the Rhumery and local restaurant (which we weren't interested in), which was very useful. A lovely day out and got to see some great views.

Sahil was an excellent...

Sahil was an excellent guide and driver, providing information about each stop and mauritius life generally. We were coming from the east of the island so we didnt have time for the vallee adventure alongside travel to/from the south but still had a great day with the rest of the itinerary. Would highly recommend. We've used other taxi companies but this one definitely was the most informative.

South West tour of Mauritius

Fabulous tour given by Nichel around the South West of the island. He was welcoming and very knowledgeable and gave me time to enjoy each visit on my own but on hand to take photos as I was travelling alone. The weather made the day and I would definitely recommend a tour as this enhanced the experience and you also get to know other lovely knowledge. The lunch was a real taste of Mauritius with a delicious selection.

Port-Louis Street Food Tour

Tonia_M, May 2026

The best thing I did in Mauritius

If you don’t do anything else in Mauritius, this is the one thing you need to do. Christopher was the best tour guide we encountered on our trip! He was friendly, enthusiastic and humourous which added so much to the experience! We expected to just do food tasting but we got so so much more than that. Christopher explained the Mauritius history in detail, the colonial past, the different cultures, religions and taught us so much about the country, even down to the drains in the street. He also took us to the food market, craft market and to the museum! And he included an extra for us which was a tea tasting experience at Kuanfu Tea which was amazing! He also gave us dining suggestions for after the tour. This was really an amazing north tour! The food we tried was delicious and everything was clean and safe and well selected! The best food we ate in Mauritius was on this tour. Make sure to not eat too much before you go as the food you get is very generous and big portions and you want to try everything. Cannot recommend anything more.

Our day out in Mauritius

A full day with lots of experiences. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the area. The included lunch was delicious with choices. The coloured earth looked more colourful on the picture on the internet than in real life but this did not detract from the overall tour. The visit to the tea and rum tours were very good. Plenty of tea to try with no hard sell. Don’t get too drunk tasting the many varieties of rum!!!

CHRISTOPHER_W, Aug 2025

Stunning South West

Amazing scenery on this tour of the south west. Our driver Robin gave us lots of information en route as we visited Chamarel, the Black River Gorges National Park, the Grand Bassin Temple and the Trou aux Cerfs volcano crater. We had time to look around the various places and also had several stops along the way to take pictures at viewpoints. We even saw a Macaque monkey! We had brought a picnic lunch from the hotel and Robin found us a picnic spot by a lake so we could eat it. As it was a Sunday there weren’t many shops open but we visited a shop in Curepipe and bought some T shirts as souvenirs. All in all a great way to see a bit more of the country outside of our hotel. Thank you!

Dolphins Encounter and Whale Watching

natalie_h, Aug 2025

A whale tale!

Great tour! Lino and Yoni were extremely patient and never rushed us. They gave us multiple opportunities to swim with the dolphins. We also got to see a huge sperm whale, and the crew waited another 45mins just to see if it may resurface again. I'd recommend this company if you're looking for a wonderful day out on the water.
