Our guide was on time with a large, very clean car at the hotel. He brought our wishes together in a tour that not only allowed us to do everything we wanted, but also saw a lot more. He was very friendly and informative about the island. He even came to the supermarket as an adviser and guided us to products from Mauritius.

Excellent time on this super friendly cruise with an incredible atmosphere! Much better than that on cruising catamarans. Thanks to Marie and the whole team for this unforgettable outing ;-)

Well organised trip with super friendly staff, good food (bbq on the boat). We were together with a bunch of local people who had great time and dancing on the boat.

Absolutely beautiful tour on the sailing boat with a really good-humored crew. Lush BBQ. We recommend.

Everything went great. Food was super delicious at a fantastic location on the beach :)
