What are people saying about Mauritius

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.

Amazing but Challenging.

Wow !!! Exhilarating !! Yiddish was our guide and the knowledge he has of the area is amazing. A true cultural experience. The scramble is tough so make sure you’re physically able and be confident. Our guide took his time and we all made it without incident. The views at the top are worth it.

Whale watching

Francesca_M, Oct 2025

Three whales spotted

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.

Catamaran bliss

We had a wonderful day, with perfect weather and an excellent and helpful crew. The team gave us an overview of the day and what to expect and couldn't do enough for us. There were not too many other guests on the boat which also made the trip more relaxing and comfortable. The bbq was also delicious and we managed to spot a group of dolphins up close! Loved it

Great to see dolphins and whales in own habitat

It's a great way to see dolphins in the wild. You need to be quick when they say go, go. Look down and they [dolphins] go past quickly. Then back on boat and move to do it again. Need to be confident swimmer if you are jumping in but you can stay on boat and see from above. We were lucky to see whales too, mother and two babies. There are a lot of other boats but the experience was great 👍.
