1. Electro-Bike Discovery
Overall Ratings
5 based on 408 reviews
How about discovering the authenticity of Mauritius Island to the pleasant rhythm of the electro-bike (Electrically assisted cycles)? Far from the touristic routes, we interact with Mauritians, artisans,... We enjoy a little pause to taste their culinary specialties, before resuming our ride through the undergrowth, along the coastal roads while in search of magnificent panoramic views.

This was one of our highlights of our trip to Mauritius! Laurent and his team went the extra mile (quite literally!) and made us feel comfortable, safe and informed. We started with great coffee and a spectacular view of La Morne at a Chamarel restaurant,...MoreHello antjevandorssen, Thank you for this amazing feedback... See you soon for another trip....

The mountainous topography of Heritage Nature Reserve (ex Frederica Nature Reserve) offers breath taking views, vast plains where stags parade majestically, impressive Waterfalls and intact natural beauty. The scenery is overwhelming and can be discovered through several activities: quad biking, buggy, safari 4x4 and trekking. We have two sessions per day: Morning 9h00 Afternoon 13h00

Many many thanks to Nadine and Nathaniel and Steve ( on the speedboat) who took us to a fantastic experience snorkelling with the Dolphins in Mauritius. We then went snorkelling to a private beach and then on to an island, where we had a beautiful BBQ lunch - truly a day to remember, with the highlight obviously swimming with about 30/50 wild dolphins in the ocean. Absolutely fantastic and it will be well remembered. If you are staying at the Heritage Awali or the Telfair, Nadine can be found on the beach between the two Hotels. I would definitely recommend this trip as five star- well done to all involved!

We came to Mauritius to Kite Surf- and we did!
We had read reviews that Kite Globing and Bel Ombre was a great place to start your Kite Surfing experience so we booked 10Hrs in advance and turned up on day 1 to kite. Rain, waves and too much wind. Oh well- we left pretty frustrated and despondent, especially after being a little nervous to sign up in advance, pay a large deposit and potentially not get it back if we didn't get to do it. Nevertheless we gave Max a call and he reassured us that we would get some Kite Surfing in the next 3 days. He didn't disappoint.
We arrived at 9am the next day to meet Aldo who would be our coach for the day (specifically requested after Reading reviews on Trip Advisor). He was awesome, relaxed, confident, in love with the sport and most of all made it fun. Over the next few days Aldo turned up on his holiday to coach us whilst Max made sure we got time on the water and he kept Aldo free for us whilst keep us informed of the wind and weather. All the equipment was new, the wetsuits kept us warm, the booties kept our feet protected and the kites and boards were great. The food at the beach club in Bel Ombre was a pleasant surprise and the changing rooms and showers were spot on.
By the time we had finished with Kite Globing- took our final session on the east coast (guess what Aldo drove half way across the island to come and give us our final 2hrs) we were both on the boards and Kite Surfing. Both Max and Aldo went the extra mile to help us have a great time despite the horrendous weather and we loved it.
Thanks for the lessons and for going the extra mile.

We originally booked the half day and went out with Hans and his team mate. The weather was quite choppy and one of the children was a little spooked so i asked Hans to drop her off at the nearby beach with my wife whilst i did the dolphin swim with the other two children who loved the experience. Hans was great and extremely knowledgeable and didn't mind the diversion to drop off and pick up my wife and child. By the time we did pick up and went snorkelling my daughter really wanted to do the swim so I asked Hans if we could book for the full day on Friday.
We set off for the full day on Friday and what a day with Jerry and Ane. The weather was much sunnier and almost immediately Jerry spotted hump back whales which he very carefully and at a good distance followed the whales which was incredible to see a mother and calf. We then went to find the dolphins and where so lucky as we came across two pods. The first was a bottlenose pod and second spinner pod. We got 4 swims and really close to these stunning mammals. Then we headed off via crystal rock snd wreck snorkelling to clam island where the most fantastic BBQ was prepared for us with chicken, scorpion fish and snapper. Wow i was already full when Jerry came with a tray full of lobster tails simply cooked in garlic and butter ...an amazing taste. All 5 of us then went for a dip in the sea and our sense of smell was alerted again with a sweet smell which was an incredible banana flambé. After a leisurely lunch with wine, beer and soft drinks we then headed back to the Hotel Telfair being dropped off in style at the beach in front of the CoCo Shack. The trips especially the full day were magical the crews friendly, knowledgeable, with the upmost respect for the widlife, guest welfare and are great BBQ chefs. It was a real highlight of our holiday and a big thank you for 2 excellent trips i cannot recommend it enough simply brilliant. I think a post my daughter got on social media from a friend when they saw the video was wow you are really living the dream life and we were! Thank you

We recently stayed at the Sofitel at Bel Ombre and enjoyed a magnificent stay ( see separate review) and had the genuine pleasure of using the beautiful spa facilities. This peaceful oasis, housed in beautiful wood and thatched buildings made for a wonderful experience. My husband and I twice had relaxing massages with beautifully scented oils, at the start and end of our holiday. All the staff were excellent, extremely professional and attentive. Thank you to the lovely Jess and Preena for excellent massages with perfect attentive service, your lovely smiles and delightful conversations.

I was expecting to see best case a few dolphins. Accordingly I tried to manage the expectation of my kids when leaving the lagoon early in the morning with the speedboat. But we saw may be hundred of dolphins, on top very entertaining with their jumps and games.It was for all of us an unique experience.
