We had a lovely day out visiting the south of the island, despite the heavy rain at times. Our driver, Prakesh was very informative, sharing so much knowledge about the island, he couldn’t do enough for us and on our return trip, took us back to the north via the coast on the west, where we had some beautiful view. The rum tour was great and we loved seeing the waterfall. Lunch was delicious, in a lovely restaurant. 4star due to the rain limiting how much time we could spend in some of the activities.

They were excellent. They honored my request to cancel one of the activities we booked with 24 hour notice and I appreciated that. I went with my parents on a 2 day excursion checking out sights around the island. The driver was flexible with taking us to destinations we ended up wanting to go to (nature hikes weren’t for us, so we did more of the sightseeing activities). There wasn’t a guide, but there was a driver who was great.

At the start of our holidays we wanted to explore Port Louis and some other points. Unfortunately, it was Sunday and many attractions had been closed. But San, our driver found good alternatives. The lunch was very tasty! We enjoyed the day very much.
