Top Mauritius Private Sightseeing Tours - page 2

We were picked up at the terminal and were surprised it was only the two of us in a private car with driver/guide - which was perfect. We were taken to some fabulous sights high up the mountain then to the 7 coloured earth exhibit together with seeing their giant tortoises. We had a typical Mauritian lunch at a restaurant which was served in a banana leaf and was delicious. After lunch we went to the site of an extinct volcano and could have gone to wherever we wanted but we decided to head back to the ship mid afternoon. We learnt a great deal about Mauritius and saw some super sights - just what we wanted.

Excellent experience. Great communication with operator prior to meeting date and driver was waiting for us outside baggage claim area. Driver was very courteous, friendly and helpful and helped with our bags. Drove us safely to our hotel and helped with bags on arrival at the hotel. Would definitely recommend and will use again if we return to this area.

Friendly, knowledgeable guide, included a history of Mauritius and a tour with a comfortable number of people. We went at a comfortable slow speed and had a bit of free time to wander around a market. He checked for food allergies. Thoroughly recommended, thank you.

The quad biking tour was just awesome and we loved it. Our guide Alex was very calm and patient and explained the basics of quad biking quickly and efficiently. He kept checking on us during the tour and knew when to go fast and when to slow down. The tour was designed really well with ample time to take photos, enjoy plenty of riding time on the quad bikes on many different terrains and explore the sugar cane fields, forests and beaches. We stopped to take photos at each of the points and it was very relaxed and not rushed at all. We really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it.

This hike was tough! Thankfully I wore the proper clothes and shoes! Yes, proper shoes are super important! Mat (Mathieu) our guide had to hurry us up a little because rain was coming. Our little group bonded pretty good because we all shared this mission. Unfortunately my wife, who has bad knees and takes heart medication, wasn’t able to get to the top, which the rest of us made it in 2 hours. Since it had been raining, some parts of the path got muddy and slippery. Did I mention that having proper hiking/trail-running shoes is super important? I saw people wearing loafers or fashion sneakers and they were having a tough time. A little more than halfway up, the trail gets really steep and vertical and you’re literally climbing rocks and looking for small ledges to get a hand and/or foothold. Once you get to the cross though, and if it’s sunny, you get an amazing view! You can even see the underwater waterfalls. We only stayed about 15-20 minutes because rain was coming. Our guide Mat kept a close watch on it. As we headed down, rain and clouds were upon us and we rushed down as quickly and safely as we could. Surprisingly, going down was easier than going up. Mat was great in that he made sure we were all safe and we used the proper steps and footholds. We made it down from the top in about an hour. Overall, the hike was really tough and a little scary if you’re afraid of heights, but the reward (the view) was well worth it. I’d highly suggest getting a local guide. And again, I can’t stress how important having good hiking/trail-running shoes is! Mat is great! We had some laughs and good conversation while hiking. His English is very good and he’s very knowledgeable. Highly recommend him!

Swam with dolphins and saw whales, what more could you ask? Having been on many disappointing sea fishing trips in the past I went with a healthy dose of cynicism. However the 2 man crew were friendly and well informed from other boats and found both quickly. 2 things ticked off my bucket list. Watch outs, it gets quite cold and expect lots of spray so a change of clothes recommended. Overall had an amazing experience.

Great day, had good coms from our driver and guide for the day, Sahil. He was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The tour itself was great for us with this being our first time in mauritus. The parks were amazing. We we even lucky enough to see hundreds of fruit bats at our last waterfall in the evening. Our tour started at 0830 and we were back at out accommodation for around 1730. Highly recommend this tour.

We went on a private full-day tour of the south of Mauritius with our guide, Sahil. Sahil was extremely knowledgable and attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good day. There were lots of highlights from the day. Unfortunately due to the weather we were unable to access the Alexandra Falls, but we did manage to see the Black River National Park later in the day which was amazing. We also visited Grand Bassin which was so peaceful and beautiful, and later feeding the tortoise at La Vanille Nature Park was so much fun (but be prepared for the mosquitoes!) We finished the day at Valle Adventure Park - would highly recommend the zip lines, a really fun way to see the 23-coloured earth! We’d highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get a flavour of this beautiful island.
