          A great day exploring the beautiful south.
          Fantastic day exploring. Our driver and tour guide, Sahil, was great - friendly and knowledgeable with lots of interesting facts to share. We had a really wonderful time exploring Ebony Forest and we would love to return.

          We had a great experience and love all the place we went on the south tour
          We had a fantastic South tour of Mauritius with Manav, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! We visited some stunning viewpoints that showcased the island’s natural beauty. After that, we went to Grand Bassin, a sacred and peaceful lake that added a unique cultural touch to our day. One of the highlights was the Valley des Couleurs, a vibrant park where we marveled at the stunning colors of the earth. We also stopped at Bois Chéri Tea Plantation, where we tasted some incredibly delicious tea — it was a real treat! For lunch, Manav took us to a cozy restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious. Afterward, we took a peaceful walk to Gris Gris Beach, which was beautiful and tranquil, offering a perfect end to the day. Manav is a good driver, and he drove us safely throughout the entire tour. We highly recommend him for anyone wanting to explore the beauty of Mauritius!

          Worth the effort
          This was by far the best day for us in Mauritius. It is not an easy hike but worth the effort our guide Tee was very knowledgeable and experienced at helping you navigate the path into and out of the river gorge. I saw people of all ages and fitness levels on the hike. The mini lunch was tasty and filling. Have the fish clean your feet was an added bonus 😁

          Brilliant service
          Manav our driver was very good arrived on time and drove very carefully. He was very helpful at offering us advice on local trips and restaurants we could visit which was very helpful given it was our first time in Mauritius. In our way to the destination Manav told us about the islands history and culture which was also very interesting. Would recommend this company to anyone who wishes to tour around the island

          A pleasant day off resort
          Salil was excellent driver very polite and was happy to answer any questions he engaged in all conversation telling us step by step where we were going and what to expect The tea factory was interesting and we enjoyed seeing the statues on the way there. The nature park was nice but a good home round and very hot. The meal was nice don’t expect a fancy restaurant as it certainly is not. But the view point in front was stunning we opted out of rum factory due to how hot the weather was we had enough but salil did offer to drive us to see the turtles but we were ready for the hotel pool. It’s a nice day out off resort and value for money

          Great day sight seeing
          Our tour guide was Agi, he contacted me on WhatsApp the day before our trip to introduce himself and confirm pick up details and he was on time to start our trip. His car was impeccably clean and ample room for me, husband and 2 friends. Agi was informative, the stops were pretty and we got a good overview of some of the culture and sights of Mauritius. The lunch provided was absolutely delicious. There’s quite a bit of driving but that’s because the island is large. I’d recommend the trip and Agi

          You'll love it!
          A perfect day with the perfect guide, Daren. Everything we visited was fascinating and the scenic beauty was wonderful and peaceful. The giant turtles were an amazing site. Daren let us know that we had the option of hiring a 4x4 at the 23 colored earth. It was well worth the extra cost, allowing us to see so much more of the beautiful park. Darren was very professional, a good driver and a great conversationalist with excellent English. Highly recommend.

          Disappointing trip
          Very disappointing tour. What was advertised was not delivered. We were not informed that the tour would be done by a sub contractor, and not an employee of the company. I was waiting for someone in the Freshverde uniform and badge as advertised. No water bottle was provided upon pick up as advertised, so we had to share the one water bottle I was carrying. As we entered the car, the driver asked us what our itinerary was for the day. I told him that I thought he would be the one explaining the itinerary to us. He then said that he did not think that we would get the chance to see everything the company had sold to us. The driver barely said anything to us. He was a good driver but not a driver/guide as advertised. All questions we asked had a one word answer. We got no information on Mauritius, the south, or the places we visited as we expected from a guide. A few places were skipped. The car was comfortable but smelled of cigarettes. In general, the tour was not what was advertised by the company and not value for money. Very disappointed as we were so excited and looking forward 😞

          Great experience!
          The south trip was an amazing experience with a private local guide who told us a lot about the places we visited. Also the three course lunch was great! The only improvement I would make is to allocate more time to visiting the 23 coloured earth park since the one hour time limit is a bit tight if you want to see the entire park.

          South West Tour
          The tour had a great itinerary, but as the day went on, we realized we could have done it all on our own. The guide was friendly, and our little one enjoyed playing with him, but unfortunately, he didn’t provide many interesting or historical insights. We also felt the sequence of stops could have been better planned, as we wasted time traveling back and forth across the island. This led to us missing the tour at the tea factory, as we had to focus on getting food for our toddler. As a result, we arrived at Casela Park just 1.5 hours before closing, and by the time we finished there, the rum factory was already closing too.

          Give us Deva as our driver and guide everytime.
          Deva our guide and driver was excellent and gave great advice on other activities and tours. We would thoroughly recommend him. His individual attention and polite informative manner made this tour. His vehicle was clean and had aircon. We had the inclusive lunch near Gris Gris Beach at a small restaurant called Escale des iLes. The building looked nothing special from the outside but the interior and the meal was better than expected. We could not fault the grilled fish. On the return to our hotel from Gris Gris beach he asked us if we would prefer to take the more scenic route along the coast road to take in more of the sights. This was a nice way to finish the tour with Deva pointing out the key areas and landmarks and answering any questions we had.

          Manav, the helpful, friendly and relaxed driver
          Manav, our driver for the airport pick up, is a very friendly and helpful guy. The driving itself was very relaxed and we had some really good conversations with Manav. He had some good tips for different trips and adventures on the island and also gave us the opportunity to stop by some nice view points/beaches to take some pictures. For me that was a really nice gesture, and I appreciated it very much. Over all we where really happy with Manav as our driver and recommend him 100%

        We booked this trip mainly to visit Casela, but with the added bonus of some sight seeing too.

        Our driver Daren picked us up bang on schedule and was a lovely pleasant guy!

        Unfortunately due to the heavy and torrential rain, 90% of the sites weren't doable. Even Casela was only partially open.

        We went back to the car and after a chat with Daren we decided to just abandon the day and go back to the hotel. We appreciated his honesty about not wasting time going to the viewpoints which would have been completely fogged out!

        However where we must commend this company is how they accomodated us on a separate occasion.

        Long story short my partner returned to Mauritius a week later on a work trip. Both the tour operator and Casela agreed to reinstate the tickets so that she (and a friend) could go back and do the full tour on a better weather day at no extra cost.

        This incredible flexibility and kindness was appreciated so much by as all. Huge thanks to Ashutosh for his prompt replies, and help in arranging our original trip and the rescheduled one.

        They told me that "Our priority is not money. Our priority is customer satisfaction. We understand the situation during bad weather."

        And they absolutely mean it. Please book with these excellent people, as they are there to make sure you enjoy your trip and get great memories, and are not there to rip you off in any way at all! Excellent service.

        Nice to see this area of Mauritius however Casela park is dated and needs a lot of maintenance. The safari tour trucks are dangerously old. The lunch was great, however despite the tour listing that non alcoholic drinks are included, we were charged for them. The Grand Bassin, the temples were great, and the views of the Black River Gorges are fantastic. Our guide was good, it did seem we were in a rush to get back after the gorges, and there was little or no volunteering of information about the area or mauritius in general.

        This was a nice start to our trip. I would say it is more of an open zoo than a safari. You load onto an open air bus with others and drive into enclosures where the animals are penned in. Lions have their own enclosure that you will view through fences. Phots were a bit deceiving as you would need to book the Segway separately and we never saw that as an option. Our driver was flexible and made the most out of every situation. He took us to a popular beach and was able to share the life of the local people

        A trip of a lifetime made even more special because of our tour guide who was the best tour guide we have ever experienced. We did walking with lions and it was truely amazing, plus we hadn’t booked ahead and the staff did there best to facilitate that for us. Honestly a day to remember, deeply in our hearts for a lifetime one experience out of this world made truely special by the kindness of our guide and the safari staff.

        Mevin picked us up on time and was a fantastic guide.
        We started our day at a small coffee shop on the way to Casela Park .
        As promised we were whisked pass the queues and spent three hours in the park. The African Safari was brilliant with the drivers feeding the animals to bring them close to us.
        Lunch was authentic and so tasty. Two of us had chicken and two fish.
        The staff were friendly and spent time explaining the dishes to us.
        We went on up to the Hindu Temple and sacred statues.
        Through the whole day Mevin was friendly, informative , and nothing was too much trouble.
        Really recommend this trip.

        The entire trip was absolutely great, Casela Park is absolutely worth seeing and beautiful to look at. Lunch was absolutely great (3 courses) and the viewpoints were also totally worth seeing.

        But the best thing was our driver Daren, he drove absolutely perfectly and safely up and down the narrow streets, listened to our wishes and explained everything to us in great detail. Without him the trip would not have been half as nice.

        Casela park was good fun, much better safari than expected on the bus, though, we would have chose to upgrade to quads for the safari, had we known they actually let you ride around the safari park on them. (Don’t worry there’s no big cats in the safari bit!)
        We also loved having the chance to pet the giant tortoises which roam around freely in the petting zoo bit.
        We enjoyed all the sight seeing bits afterwards and seeing a bit of the country and our drive Saleem was very knowledgable about the country and obliging regarding taking our photo at several stops, we were also really pleased to discover this was a private tour in a taxi for the day as we were the only two booked on.
        Also the lunch was so nice! Bit of a basic setting but the food was really tasty!

        Excellent, knowledgable driver. Roshan really looked after us. The lunch at Chamarel was delicious but we were told that our package only included one soft drink, to be shared between two! Extremely odd, cosindering the cost of the excursion. It was raining in the afternoon, so it was difficult to fully enjoy some of the views, although we still did. Casela park and the Hindu temple were the highlights of this trip but in hindsight, we would have been better to spend a couple more hours at Casela. Overall, too expensive but a good experience, thanks to Roshan.

        We were met on time by Yash, the whole day was very well planned. We were not able to go to the 7 colour earth due to road erosion so Yash took us to the 23 colour earth instead. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions with ease. He is a credit to the company as a tour guide and would not have any problems booking him again. We felt really looked after from start to finish.

        Manu was an excellent guide and I can’t sing his praises enough. He’s professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about his job. The tour cost around $115 USD per person but having Manu as a guide is priceless! Do yourself a favor and request him!
