“We were on a sunrise Kayaking with Eliza. Unfortunately it was too cloudy to see the sunrise, but it is part of the business if you deal with mother nature. But Eliza brought us into the “jungle”. We saw monkeys, flying foxes. She was very helpful and told us many about the nature around us. She was a real guide! The river was calm and peaceful.”

We finished the hike around 9 and then started our road trip, Kevin took us to all the key spots of the South and was very knowledgeable! We went for breakfast which was lovely and…”

“Wonderful experience with the nicest guide, Gilles. He took us safely to the top bright and early - 5 am. It is absolutely recommendable to do it this way as there were no crowds and no waiting in line. Safety, views and the entire experience is so much better this way. On our way back we saw monkeys, the national bird and - bonus - a whale far out in the ocean. Thank you Gilles for a wonderful experience in Mauritius 🌺”
