Top Mauritius Day Trips - page 8

Avinash was an amazing guide. Incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. All these amazing things hidden in the south West of Mauritius. Picked up from the hotel right on time in a comfortable, air conditioned vehicle So incredibly lucky with the weather too.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. Our driver and guide was called Sameer. He was excellent, informative and helpful. Unfortunately, his boss was less helpful. Our trip was on a Sunday. It turned out that the Rhumerie is closed on a Sunday. This did not bother us, but it may well concern others. Although we booked the experience on 24th September, it was not until after 10 pm on the night before the trip which was on 14th December that Sameer's boss informed us that the Rhumerie was closed.

We were up at our hotel by our driver Vicky who chauffeured us on both legs of our journey. Vicky was professional and friendly and when we arrived at our destination, located the jetty for us and explained the return journey arrangements. He was there to meet us ready for our trip home too. The crew were fantastic (3) and made the trip one to remember. The catamaran was very spacious with lots of shaded area for those that required this - for those that wished for the sailing experience there was plenty of space on the front, including lounging on the nets. The details were expertly explained both when boarding and during our trip. There were about 30 sailors in total which worked well and still allowed lots of space. Two toilets were on board if needed. The food was superb - sausages, chicken skewers and tuna were bbq’d by the crew on our journey and these were accompanied by lovely salads - plenty for everyone. Breakfast was fresh croissants and hot drinks. There was a good selection of both alcoholic and non alcohol beverages - the jungle juice packs a punch so be warned!! We saw the waterfall, monkeys, had a great time snorkelling in shallow seas and beautiful fish and spent just over an hour on the island. Nothing felt rushed and timings worked for us. All in all a fabulous day which we would totally recommend. Our intial trip had been cancelled due to ‘catastrophic’ weather conditions but we soon rebooked and felt reassured that safety was key. Our initial trip had been booked some weeks before travel but Viator honoured our original discount code, which was very appreciated.

We were so grateful to see three whales as part of this experience. It is something that we will always remember and a highlight of our time in Mauritius. The skippers were very professional, safety conscious and respected the animals. We would definitely recommend anti-nausea tablets if you are prone to motion sickness as the water is incredibly choppy. Thanks again to the skippers for making our experience memorable.

Amazing experience hiking with Rowin on a Sunday morning. Unfortunately, the top section is currently closed and safety first! We met other hikers who headed up anyway but Rowin brought us to another lookout instead which more than made up for the disappointment of not being able to go to the top. An amazing option as we had the place to ourselves. The loop around the mountain was definitely a great option, and we were given history of the place etc, and we stopped at another lookout with views to the underwater waterfall as well. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time with our tour guide Mangesh. Mangesh took us to explore the south and gave us the time we wanted in each location. The weather was slightly cloudy at the beginning however after a while we began to see some sun! Our favourite parts of the day were visiting the Valle park and also the Gorge Viewpoint. Mangesh collected us earlier from our hotel, to ensure that we arrived to the attractions whilst they were not busy, and they were far from busy which improved our overall experience! Thank you so much Mangesh, we would highly recommend this to other tourists!

We received Exceptional treatment and based on the reviews I would strongly suggest that you Only book with Kevin. Kevin is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, professional and personable. We booked additional excursions with Kevin based on his service and also recommended him to our friends and family. Brilliant guide who went above and beyond to truly immerse us into the beautiful Mauritian culture and experience

We had such a fantastic day out on the catamaran! The crew were super friendly, played some great music and were fab hosts - constantly refilling our drinks! The food was also brilliant and the snorkelling before you arrive at ile aux cerfs is really beautiful. The island itself is lovely and this trip is a great way to see it. Overall, the trip is definitely worth the price and we would recommend to anyone staying in Mauritius.
