Great driver with a good mix of information and also very respectful of the time we had and struck the balance well of having good conversation but not constantly chatting the whole day!

A tour made special by the guide
Stephen_C
, Nov 2021
The volcanic Wonders part of the tour was exceptional and made more so by our guide, Akash. He was friendly and enthusiastically shared his knowledge of the island. Nothing was too much trouble. HOWEVER, the dolphin swimming was awful. Too many boats with too many people causing the dolphins to become harassed and constantly trying to evade the encounter. There were even mother dolphins trying to protect their calves. It really was rather upsetting. It really was a trip off two halves. I would like to add that Akash was simply our driver and has no part in the dolphins swimming.

Hi Stephen, thanks for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the afternoon portion of the tour, and we'll let Akash know you liked his service. Thanks for your feedback regarding the wild dolphins portion as well - at times, some boats do not respect the government-imposed guidelines for sustainable dolphin watching/swimming (although this is not the norm, it can happen). We wish you a great rest of your stay in Mauritius!

An incredible morning swimming with the dolphins before seeing the beautiful views and culture the island has. A lovely lunch at La Cetronelle. Akash was a great guide with lots of knowledge and passion

Amazing experience
richard_C
, Oct 2021
Early start, however the dolphin swimming is out of this world. Initially I was a bit apprehensive at the number of boats around the pod. However they were always careful. Once in the water, look down and you see around 200 dolphins as far as you can see. An amazing experience when they are all around you. The 2nd part, unfortunately for us as a very rainy/cloudy day so we didn't get to see much. I suspect it would be better in a sunny day. Our driver was great and very knowledgeable. Id recommended this trip to people.

Komplette 8h ein Erlebnis. Delfin schwimmen aber grenzwertig
Swen_F

The communication with the guide was good. He was on time to pick us up. He speaks English and he was very friendly. The dolphin tour was ok. We saw dolphins but it was to crowded there with the other botes. The snorkeling was also OK but not much to see in the water. He took us to all the highlights within the given time. Nice tour.

The taxidriver that took us around was very nice. Beautiful places, the driver waiting for us att each place, no Harry. A lot of friendly monkeys in the viewpoint. Eat lunch at a nice restaurant in he mountain. The dolphinswim was a little to much for the dolphins I think, a lot of boats.

Do not recommend
Liliya_D
, Oct 2019
The tour itinerary was really good. The places visited were really interesting. As a driver our guide was good. But as an English speaking guide he wasn't good at all. Maximum 200 words for 8 hours of tour, mainly naming the villages and mountains. Probably, the worst tour experience with Viator for the last 3 years. Definitely I do not recommend this tour.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We're glad you found the sites interesting. We'll follow up with this particular driver to determine why he was not more talkative, and give him feedback to prevent this from happening again. We apologize for the lack of communication.

Nous avons été accompagné par Ahmed tout le long du séjour, il a su nous conduire parfaitement entre les sites de l'excursion ainsi que nous guider et instruire sur l'histoire des lieux qu'on découvrait. Il a rendu les trajets si courts et amicaux. La première activité démarre en force avec plein de sensations en mer, les moniteurs ont été patients en nous aidant à localiser les dauphins. Les autres sites d'observations étaient à couper le souffle.
