A Memorable Family Catamaran Adventure in Mauritius

Together with my wife and child, we had the pleasure of experiencing a wonderful catamaran excursion. Everything was perfectly organized and relaxed. The transfer to the excursion was also amazing—the young but very intelligent driver made the 1.5-hour ride very enjoyable with beautiful stories about the history of Mauritius, and along the way, he also showed us many sights. I highly recommend this excursion to everyone, especially if you’re lucky enough to ride with Sahil.

Operator response

We’re so happy to hear you and your family had a wonderful catamaran day 🌊✨ Sahil will be thrilled to hear your kind words — he loves sharing stories and making the journey as enjoyable as the excursion itself! Thank you for recommending us so warmly — we’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable day in Mauritius 🌴

The problems of keeping to the schedule times

We booked this tour because it was supposed to be 8 hours starting at 7.00am This was important as we had to be back by 17.00 for our cruise ship departure. Everything started well, we were picked up at 7.15 and transported to the catamaran venue 55.00 minutes later. The problem started then, after waiting 55 minutes the tour still hadn't commenced and our best estimate was it was likely to take another 30 minutes. If that was indeed the case we weren't able to get back to the ship in time. This left know option other than cancel and return. This was no fault of our and as such we should be entitled to a full refund

Operator response

We’re very sorry to hear about the timing issues you experienced, and we completely understand your frustration given your cruise schedule. It’s disappointing that the delay at the catamaran prevented you from enjoying the tour. Your feedback has been noted and will be reviewed with our operations team to prevent this in the future.

Perfect !

Excellent day aboard the catamaran, we were able to see monkeys, the waterfall, the deer island and dive into turquoise water full of pretty fish: a real aquarium! All this in a good mood and with plenty to eat and drink! Our driver of the day (Manu) was perfect: punctual, kind and considerate
