“Très satisfaite de cette activité, j’avais pris le transport avec, il est arrivé à l’heure. Nous avons attendu 10 minutes que tous les monde arrivent. Dans le speedboat, Nous étions une petite +/-18 de personnes enfants inclus. c’était pas surchargé mais il n’en fallait pas plus. Direction les dauphins. On se retrouve en effet autour d’un amas de bateau, mais notre guide a préféré laisser la full passer plutôt que d’étouffer les dauphins. Nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir nager avec. Puis direction le lagon avec de sublimes poissons. L’eau n’était pas très clair car il avait plus la veille mais très satisfaisant quand même, on a nager avec…”
Spend up to six hours at Casela Nature Park, where you can see African animals, birds, and optional adventure activities, then visit Flic en Flac beach if time allows. A private driver handles hotel transport, but park tickets, activities, and lunch cost extra.

“DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. The driver that turned up was not a guide, he was a taxi driver. Not one word was said by the driver between stops, he didn't get out at the tour locations, didn't give any information or guidance. We also had to ask to go to the tea factory, which was closed by the time we arrived. There was no communication to suggest that the Rum distillery was also closed at the weekend, so could not do this tour either. Two of the views points - Maconde and Chamarel - were also not visited as they were not on the taxi drivers "work list". The…”
Meet your speedboat at Tamarin Public Beach for a day with dolphins, Crystal Rock, Le Morne views, and Île aux Bénitiers. Guides including Jean-Yves and Jason have been praised for their care. Expect a seafood barbecue, local drinks, snorkeling gear, and a small group of up to 15.

Spend five hours sailing from Grand Baie along Mauritius’s north coast, with sunset views, local snacks, unlimited beer, cocktails, wine, soft drinks, dinner, and a live DJ. The crew provides safety equipment and vegetarian meals on request. Expect a social party atmosphere, not a quiet yacht trip.
“point GPS mal renseigné. Bateau petit et veillissant non conforme aux photos. Départ à 18h au lieu de 17h. Retour à 22h. Bonne ambiance et bon DJ sur le Bateau. Musique trop forte pour la taille du Bateau.”
Set out early from a variable Mauritius meeting point for a three-hour whale search with English or French speaking boat guides. Small private groups help keep the outing personal. You may see sperm whales, humpbacks, and dolphins, though swimming and onboard extras should be confirmed before booking.
“Whale Watching in Mauritius ✨ This tour was absolutely amazing – a true dream come true! 🐋 We were lucky enough to see humpback whales several times during the trip, sometimes up to six or more at once. It was simply incredible to watch these giants so close in their natural habitat. An unforgettable experience, and worth every penny! 💙🌊”
Join a guide for a four-hour hike through Mauritius’s Black River Gorges, with forest paths, mountain and river views, bird calls, tree climbing, and a swim in small rivers. Guides speak English, French, Urdu, and Hindi. The route can be much harder than expected.
“Als wanderung im Tal der rivière noire angeboten, entpuppte sie sich als wahre kletterpartie, 1 Stunde normal berauf, dann 2 volle Stunden wahrlich hoch krackseln! Horror! Dann den selben Weg wieder hinunter. Die Wanderung war null, da nicht so angekündigt. Nur der Guide war sehr lieb, führsorglich, freundlich, nur zu emphelen..”
Pick a coast, a crater or a kitchen.
