We had a chance to see dolphins so close ! Totally worth it. Also had a chance to do snorkelling nearby. And our lunch was also so good. Thank you to the crew for making our day sooo fun 😊

We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to the crew - they'll be thrilled to know they helped make your day so special. Thanks for joining us and we hope to see you again soon!

Mauvaise organisation, bateau surchargé

Nicolas_M, Nov 2021
Malgré la gentillesse des skippers, l’organisateur est nul. Il avait zappé notre réservation. Bateau surchargé, dès qu’un dauphin montre un aileron, 10 bateau foncent dessus et tout le monde saute à l’eau dans un cafouillage pas possible. Bref, il y a de bien meilleurs organisateurs. Seul point positif, la gentillesse des skippers

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Bonjour Nicolas, Merci pour review ! Dès lors votre réservation, j'avais communiqué avec vous via WhatsApp. Je comprends que vous soyez frustré que votre nom ne figurais pas sur la liste des passagers, c'était un oubli, mais vos places sur le bateau étaient réservées. Nous ne pouvons pas surcharger le bateau comme vous l'avez souligné, car selon la loi, chaque siège doit être attribué à un passager. De même que vos sièges vous ont été attribués. Malheureusement nous ne possédons pas l'Océan et il y a d'autres opérateurs qui font la même excursion, ce n'est pas exclusif et la concurrence est féroce. Nous travaillons également avec des dauphins sauvages qui sont imprévisibles, rapides et généralement timides, nous observons donc les lois mauriciennes et les suivons du mieux que nous pouvons pour donner aux touristes les meilleures chances d'observer ces belles créatures.
