    Great private tour guide - Just the two of us and Yoogle, the guide. Yoogle dropped us to the activities and gave us knowledgeable history and vignettes of his lovely island. Good dolphin tour - swimming with ********** Dolphins. The boats, "followed", not "chased" them. Dolphins would dive deep if they didn't like it. Good explanation and tour of the crater. Good walk around the Hindu temple. Great lunch in an amazing location. Tour guide went above and beyond to show us the island.

    The driver and boat captain were great as were the TUI team. When the tour we booked was sold out they found us a new opportunity for the same day as we had only a week in Mauritius this was our one chance so this was really appreciated.

    A great day out, you get a personal taxi driver for the day, ours was very helpful and told us all about the places we were to visit, and other interesting information about Mauritius. My only complaint is about the advertising, explain why pick up is at 0500!

    Wir hatten ein Fahrer, der sich unglaublich bemüht hat alles zu erklären, er war sehr freundlich und höflich. Er hat uns den ganzen Tag begleitet und war nie aufdringlich. Die Fahrt zu den Delfinen war super! Der Kapitän und sein Kollege waren super, sie wussten genau wo die Delfine sind, wir haben sogar ein Wal gesehen. Wir sind sehr, sehr zufrieden mit dem Ausflug

    Der Guide Yugal war hervorragend. Er hatte immenses Wissen, war unheimlich freundlich und hat uns ein paar tolle Spots gezeigt. Auf dem Boot war der Guide Conrad super. Er hat uns ein unglaubliches Erlebnis mit über 50 Delfinen an 2 Spots beschert. Aber: Achtung beim duty free Stop Miskeen - das war Betrug, es gibt am Flughafen kein Geld zurück, da Formular nicht gestempelt

    De kater stelde weinig voor. Het bezoek aan de tempel viel tegen, want door een feestdag was deze gesloten. Het eten daarentegen was op een heel mooie locatie. Onze chauffeur hebben we op de terugrit moeten wakker houden, want hij is een paar keer in weggedommeld achter het stuur Dolfijnspotting gaf ons een slecht gevoel. De mensen van tui waren voorzichtig en rustig. Echter andere organisaties joegen de dieren op. We werden helemaal stil bij het aanzien van de gulzigheid van sommige mensen
