- K2863BCheatherb0 contributionsGreat overview of Mauritius.We wanted to make sure we got out of the hotel resort and see this beautiful island. This private tour was a full day and we got to see many interesting areas which provided us a comprehensive overview of Mauritius, right down to the South Coast. Our driver was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us about life living in Mauritius. It also gave us an idea of how it is like diving in Mauritius and we now feel comfortable enough to hire a car and explore more and possibly enjoy some hikes. Very much recommend.Written 25 November 2024

- 860edelleb0 contributionsAn Amazing ExperienceThe day started when our driver for the day (Manu) turned up early to great us, the day ran smoothly and without effort. Manu was very knowledgable on the area and Mauritian culture. He was exceptionally accommodating and friendly and a safe driver. A fantastic experience to visit the dormant volcano and Alexandra falls, with a quick stop to hydrate on fresh coconuts and browse the local artisan stalls. Manu who has a keen interest in photography, took some amazing family shots…far better than our iPhone imagery abilities! We then went onto visit a local tea production plant, sampling a range of produce and meeting a friendly wild boar and its piglets, something our son particularly enjoyed. Afterwards we visited the 23 sands, who offer a range of transportation around the park. We opted to walk allowing us to see the wildlife. He also got the chance to meet the giant tortoise, initially mistaken as a large bench. Absolutely worth the visit!! We then went to a beach viewpoint to grab some lunch and soak in the beauty of the coastline. We sadly didn’t stop off at the rum venue as our son was a little tired but even without the extra stop off the trip was value for money and well worth it. Manu was a great guide and spoke excellent English and was also fluent in other languages. A very pleasant young man who made the experience extra special.Written 16 November 2024
- Sitara K0 contributionsA tour you cannot missThe tour was amazing. Our driver was Alan. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure we were having a great time and being looked after well. The car was clean, we were provided water for the journey, he was a very safe and calm driver. The lunch provided were very tasty, I recommend the grilled fish. We would highly recommend doing this tour when you are in Mauritius. Well worth it.Written 15 November 2024
- GrandTour7279420 contributionsSuperb day outOur trip with Nihti our guide was excellent. He had a wealth of knowledge and was very friendly and accommodating. When I had forgotten my credit card thinking my Google pay would be OK not. He loaned us the money to go around the jungle on buggies. Not everyone would do that. A perfect gentleman. Memorable day out. For the price private car and guide not a bus brilliantWritten 15 November 2024
- Resort097450579590 contributionsPleasant drive.Driver was lovely but we didn't see all the stops as described, e.g. the Chamuny Waterfall. No bottled water as promised and the three-course lunch was only a curry followed by a scoop of ice cream. The coloured earth was disappointing and looked nothing like the pictures. Perhaps it was the wrong time of the day to see the colours but I wonder why timing is not taken into consideration by tour organisers?Written 13 November 2024
