Things to do in Mauritius, Mauritius: The Best Tours
Mauritius is arguably Africa’s wealthiest destination, a tropical paradise with tons to do. Port Louis, the modern capital of this 38-mile by 29-mile island, is a bustling port with a revitalized waterfront and a busy market. But most visitors gravitate toward resort areas such as Mont Choisy, quiet Trou-aux-Biches and the more bustling Flic en Flac, popular with scuba divers. Rivière Noire is ideal for those looking for great deep-sea fishing.

Not sure what to say as we hit Mauritius just as CV19 did and despite being told otherwise by our Captain, we were unable to dock twice We just managed to communicate with Ridwaan and he adjusted his plans so that if we were able to dock two days later than planned, he would be there to meet us, which was very much appreciated. Unfortunately, by this time, Mauritius had closed their borders to all ships. We let Ridwaan know and even though we did not ask, he organised a full refund for us. Therefore, should we be allowed to travel ever again and eventually get to Mauritius, we will definitely use his service. Great service although not the one we were expecting.

I would have given this a 5 star rating just for the trip experience, but I unfortunately experienced sexist and rude comments from the staff there. Maybe it was because I am a mauritian and not a foreigner. According to the quad biking staff, women do not know how to drive. "Si ena ene ti garson devant ou, ou koner ou krk, mais si ena ene tifi devant, li kav zis arete ene kout ek lerla ou kav taper, paski banla pa koner zot" - these are the words of one particular staff. Instructions are also rushed, and if you missed something, they tell you that you were not listening. It's such a great activity, so it's a shame that some of us had to face these comments.

The day was beautiful and our captain Boyd was fantastic. The day started out great he took us to a few areas to snorkel and then to lunch (delicious!!) on Pinal island. Once lunch was done we headed back to the boat. One of the engines did not have any stearing the cable was broken from the salt water. We were told that a new boat would come out to get us. At this point we had already lost the 2.5 hours and then on top of that we waited another 2 hours for a boat to pick us up. We reached out the next day to the owner hoping that maybe he would offer the additional 2.5 hours but no. To start the day out so well and then end with a huge setback on what should have been an amazing experience.

We went for a full-day fishing charter with the hope of catching a blue marlin. Quite ambitious plan after trying without luck last year for 4 ful dayz at the Azores. After 2 hous of fishing a blue marlin approached the bait and we had a tremendous strike. However, the marlin just took 10-20 meters of line before it went off. We were quite thrilled but also a bit disappointed. A few hours later we were catching lots and lots of stribed tuna - and the kids were having great fun. Suddenly, the big wheel started "scratching" and something big took all the 800 m of line. At little more than an hour later, we saw the 500 lbs marlin just next to the boat. A truely amazing experince which I felt in my body for the next 3 days. Our best fishing experience ever - and we have actually been doing this all other the world for many years. Thanks to the crew, Francis and Christian, we are already planing our trip back next year. Can't wait!

From the punctual pick up to the smart clean and comfortable car it promised to be a good day and didn’t disappoint. Our guide was excellent - engaging and informative. Having someone who can describe the different plants and flowers and palms brings the botanical gardens to life. And then having a guide to take you through the markets of Port Louis cuts out a whole lot of random wandering about. Our guide was very knowledgable, kind and flexible. We really felt like we had got to know Mauritius and it’s people by the end of the tour. A great day out.
