Both of us enjoyed our day visiting the various locations. Sometimes felt a little rushed. Wasn’t to bothered by mode ship factory as this just seems a thing to try and get you to buy one (you can ask to skip this). Enjoyed visiting the temple and other locations. Guide was knowledgeable especially around the Hindu faith and was kind enough to show us some traditions inside the temple. Overall we enjoyed our day.

Many thanks again to our visit our wonderful guide Babou aka “the sun follower”. He changed the whole itinerary to make sure we had sun and avoided the crowd. He took time to explain us everything at each stop. The tour is great to see as much as possible of the island over a day. The car was also great and spacious. And the lunch was delicious

Would highly recommend, our guide was very knowledgeable and informative, and we saw lots of dolphins. After that we went down the black river which was also a great experience.

Wonderful and interesting places, nature. Delicous lunch in a good restaurant. Friendly and polite driver-tourist gide.

Perfect tour to see the main sights of the south-west.
