Exceptional experience, Ibrahim our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and patient for all our questions. We were thrilled to visit the amazing south west of the island, we learned a lot and would highly recommend it! Top level professionals!
Our driver/guide Ibriham arrive at the port in good time. He was not only a safe driver but also very knowledgeable and patient. He showed us everything we wanted to see and answered all our questions. We had a fantastic day thanks to him!
This was an excellent tour! Ibrahim gave us a full history of Mauritius, explaining the multi-cultural population of the island, stopping regularly to show us things of interest that I doubt any other guide would. We stopped for lunch for some delicious Mauritius food before continuing the tour. Ibrahim is a mine of information and facts that made this experience a real highlight of our visit.
Sailen picked us up at our ship and took us to see all the highlights south of Port Louis. He gave an excellent narrative along the way and answered our myriad questions. Every site was well worth seeing and Sailen knew the perfect spots to take the best pictures. He even took us to pick some wild fruit growing along the side of the road. They were called Chinese guava. They were tart but tasty and contain a lot of vitamin C. It was a great six hour trip and ended with a drop off back at our ship. Highly recommend!
I booked a taxi via booking.com, and Cristopher arrived at the airport to take us to the hotel. This is how we first saw and met Mauritius. All the way to the hotel Cristopher was telling us history and interesting facts about the island and its people. We enjoyed Cristopher's company so much, that ended up booking 4 excursions with Cristophe from the agency he worked at: 1. Authentic South - Cristopher was with us at each stop, introducing us to Mauritius's beauty 2. Climbing on Le Morne Brabant - Cristopher was climbing with us, helping to find a suitable rock to step on or pull the body up by using our hands. On our way up, he was generously helping other solo tourists with advice on how to climb, as Le Morne is not the easiest mountain to climb 3. North beaches - Cristopher was giving us enough time to see each beach and swim where we wanted Time spent with Christophe - is one of our brightest memory about Mauritius. Thank you Cristophe for taking care of us and showing marvelous Mauritius from different sides! I recommend excursions with Cristophe for their high quality and moreover warm and friendly atmosphere
Superb performance by Christophe who made us dream during this excursion with a whole day. Very nice person, available , friendly and with bcp d humor. I recommend sun destination and Christophe in particular. See you soon 😉
We contacted this agency before going to the island. First contact with Quick Carine, well detailed excursions and correct prices. Serious agency, everything was very well organized, very punctual drivers! We made several excursions with Christophe! A treat! He knows his island at his fingertips and talks about it with passion! Even after the ascent of Le Morne, its dynamism does not wane;) Go with your eyes closed! 15 years of experience!
Our guide Sailen was really great - caring all the time, he showed us even more than we expected. We had many little stops during our way, where he showed us different trees and lots of natural beauty.
Excellent contact with this agency, they are very attentive to satisfy you at best. Hans is a remarkable driver guide, we really feel that he is there to please us. Very kind. We spent an extraordinary day visiting the south of the island thanks to him. For lunch he found us a typical restaurant with good island cuisine , a real treat. I highly recommend them.
Nouaa have made 3 excursions with sun destination, the guides are very friendly people, erudite, cultivated and in love with their island. We were lucky to have Christopher on 2 excursions, his kindness is matched only by his passion for cooking, and Mauritian and French culture. Thank you to him again for these good times shared.
