Dear All, This was such an amazing experience. We saw 2 gigantic turtle ???? with an eel swimming with them!! We went straight into the sea and swam with them. I touched the neck of the turtle and her shell. Was not aware not allowed - it felt so overwhelmed- don’t think of the price, it’s fully worth it. This memory will stay forever with you.

Visite de l’église rouge cap malheureux non fait sans explication!!! Marche de port Louis=piège à touriste devant les étalages sans prix et la vente e produit à la tête du client (du touriste!!) attention les prix totaux sont exorbitant… assommer par un bateau lors de la plongée en apnée avec les tortues par un autres bateaux venu se coller au notre. À la fin de la session pas moins de 6bateaux autour des plongeurs et tortues qui ne font attention à rien ni personne… journée qui demande un bien meilleur encadrement!!

Great experience the tours itself we generally found in Mauritius are different to elsewhere in the world in that you’re essentially just paying a taxi driver to escort you for the day. We probably could have engaged our driver a little more to try to stay longer in a few of the places but we enjoyed the day overall and the snorkelling was great to experience a wide variety of marine life not just the turtles.
