“DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. The driver that turned up was not a guide, he was a taxi driver. Not one word was said by the driver between stops, he didn't get out at the tour locations, didn't give any information or guidance. We also had to ask to go to the tea factory, which was closed by the time we arrived. There was no communication to suggest that the Rum distillery was also closed at the weekend, so could not do this tour either.

“Would not recommend for English speakers, couldn’t communicate with the staff and the music was all French.

Very poorly organised and overall not enjoyable for us.”

The pictures implied we would be swimming with whales , hence instructing us to bring snorkelling equipment however we were informed once we sighted the whales, we would not be swimming with them. We were not offered an alternative place to swim either, swimming was indicated…”
Swim with dolphins, snorkel at Crystal Rock, enjoy a beach BBQ, and explore Île aux Bénitiers on this full-day Mauritius speedboat tour.
“The service is not VIP. Too many boats and tourists that scare away the dolphins. The boat was not in very good condition and the skippers were not very friendly. No point in paying more than similar offers, everyone is mixed up”

Dann den selben Weg wieder hinunter. Die Wanderung war null, da nicht so angekündigt. Nur der Guide war sehr lieb, führsorglich, freundlich, nur zu emphelen..”
