    The tour and guide were amazing. I would have given it five stars, but we did not see the shipwreck like was mentioned on the initial itinerary.

    Transfers - optional

    The transfers too and from the ‘port’ were private and good. They were optional but as public transportation on Mauritius is unlikely to be door to door for most destinations, a private transfer was a good start/end with our collection and drop offs being safe and on time.

    Arrival

    So, to be honest, we got up super early to get to the port for 9am and then seemed to wait around for a while. We then got put onto a speedboat to take us to the catamaran and waited a little while longer. I’d say we didn’t actually start sailing until about 10:15/10:30 so no idea why we needed to be there so early? The various deck hands speedboat drivers seemed to be bickering a lot so perhaps they too were confused about what was happening.

    Boat and crew

    The boat was a little beat up but it seemed safe and had cover, toilets and as the boat wasn’t full, reasonable space to sit on board. The crew spoke English and French and were polite, obliging and helpful. We were glad of the boat not being full as we had to all retreat under the covered area a few times to avoid some heavy rainfall.

    Trip

    So, having left late, we slowly headed for the water fall, initially though stopping for about 20/30 minutes whilst we were asked who wanted to do water sports. These were extras. It was at this point, a common theme it seems from other reviews, it was announced we wouldn’t be snorkelling as it was too rough. That was a huge blow as for me that was part of the lure of the trip. Normally, they would have an alternative or back up option but in this case, nothing, that despite us being in no hurry and having time to stop to sell watersports. I’m unconvinced they even bothered to load snorkelling gear as when we got to Ile Aux Cerfs later, I asked if I could borrow a snorkel for the waters there and was told it was too cloudy (the water) for it. It wasn’t. Nobody seemed to want to do water sports and we moved on to another location a little further down from the Grand River Southeast Waterfall. Here, a speedboat (just) managed to fit us all in and we headed for a closer look at the waterfall which was lovely. On the way back, a real treat was seeing a bunch of wild monkeys in the trees by the river. That was brilliant and unexpected.

    By the time the speedboat dropped us back at the catamaran again, lunch had been prepared and whilst simple BBQ fare, it was actually very tasty and there was plenty for everyone. I should mention beer, wine and rum flowed for those who wanted it for the whole cruise, which was nice.

    Then off to Ile aux Cerfs for the last part of the trip. We ended up with about 90 minutes on what initially struck my wife and I as a bit of a man made island. It probably isn’t but oddly seemed like it. There was some craft stalls, you could buy watersports or simply chill on the beach. Honestly, what appears to be a magical tropical island on the photos was actually more a rest stop with a very average beach and various facilities which were either closed or a little run down. I’m not sure what I was expecting but equally, from the website, it implied we’d have 3 hours here…we had half that although in some ways, that’s not a bad thing.

    Then, back on the catamaran for the slowest transit back to port where we again jumped in a speedboat to be carted back to shore and all was done.

    Overall

    So, I love a boat trip but this one seemed to lack a plan allied to the advice on the website which suggests a more defined chain of events than we experienced. I do understand that the weather (it was a little blustery) will play a part in what you get to do but we seemed to spend a lot of time doing not very much and/or transiting in what must be the slowest catamaran I’ve been on. It’s as if they were constantly buying time? I’d guess if the weather is perfect and you leave around the time the itinerary states on the website, you might experience a difference but for us, this ended up feeling like one long, slow ride on a catamaran. Granted, the views are amazing and that’s a welcome part of the experience. The waterfall was nice and the monkeys a real treat to see in the wild too. Overall, I feel like I’ve been on better organised trips and that Ile Aux Cerfs was a little bit of a disappointment in terms of being the ‘key’ destination. Given how much time we spent on the boat as opposed to doing something, I’d also say this isn’t worthy of a whole day.

    Fabulous day on the full day catamaran cruise to Ile aux Cerfs - thank you. We have just returned from a fantastic day with crew of Oceane - Jan 31st. On top of the amazing sea quality the boat was not overcrowded and the crew looked after us superbly throughout the trip. Lovely to see the waterfall and have a snorkel !

    I was taken to Trou d’Eau douce to board the boat by taxi driver Avinash, he was very nice and friendly and his driving is nice and smooth, which made me feel safe in the car.
    As to the boat tour itself it was very pleasant. We arrived on Ile aux Cerfs around 9am, it was very quiet and peaceful and we got plenty of time to enjoy the beach and different activities available on the island. I had a chance to do some snorkelling off a glass bottomed boat which was great, for an extra 1500 rupees as the day trip didn’t include water activities. Giving 4 stars instead of five as there was no vegetarian option for lunch, I was given a curry with big chunks of meat in it (after informing Bonjour Mauritius ahead of time and one of the staff cooking at the barbecue place before lunch that I don’t eat meat.) however, the side dishes of potato salad, garlic bread and rice were very tasty!
    After lunch I was brought back to the main shore where Avinash was already waiting for me, to bring me back to my hotel, really appreciate the punctuality!

    Nice expiriens, the guide - boatdriver was very friendly. The island is beautiful place with a clear water. Snorkeling wasn’t interesting, there are few fish. On the river you can see monkey, the meal of grill was incredible!

    I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Tino boats Mauritius ! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and made sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire trip. The speed boat was top-notch—clean and well-maintained.The tour itself was amazing, with breathtaking views and exciting moments on the water . Hiked the GRSE waterfall once but visiting that beauty in a speed boat was an amazing experience.I also really appreciated the Lunch with a view and the delicious food they provided at the island. The place where we ate were clean and well organized. The staffs kept checking on us , if we needed more food or anything which made us felt really comfortable. I highly recommend Tino boats for anyone looking for an unforgettable boating adventure. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!

    This is a mixed review. We booked for a 9.00 am pick up and were advised the day before that we needed to be picked up at 7.45am so immediately we were rushing around changing plans to be ready for this trip. I enquired about the change of time and was told that it was because we needed to be at the port promptly and ready to leave on time at 9am. After a 90 minutes drive from our hotel we arrived, only to wait on the quayside for 40 minutes! Tourists should be wary here, lunch on a private island does not mean your lunch will be private, it means the island is privately owned and you will be shoved in a large group and mass-catered for. The food and drink included was, whilst very delicious, very limited in quantity! This trip offered free bottled water, but at no time were we ever offered bottled water. We were taken to see the GRSE waterfall, which was lovely. The island itself (Ile aux Cerfs) is beautiful, but your time is spent searching for a spot on a crowded beach to sit - I would not recommend this excursion - we were offered the same trip by a beach seller for a fraction of the price - unfortunately we had already paid for this one, otherwise we'd have definitely done it with them! Avoid this excursion (we found it on Get Your Guide).

    We loved our experience. It was a full day tour to see the water fall, snorkeling and excellent BBQ lunch. We had originally booked a different day tour which got canceled and Neelesh offered us this as an option. They were very professional and easy to deal with. They gave me exact information, we were met by Visham at the jetty and was advised and guided exactly on what was to be expected. He offered us coffee even before we set off as we had come very early.

    Our skipper Gino was lovely. He was very patient and did not rush us at all. We did all the sights and spent as much time as we liked swimming. We were lucky to see a pod of dolphins too. Our skipper was very respectful of the dolphins which I really liked. We had alcohol - local rum on the boat, coke and water. When he realised we enjoyed local segga music he was playing music for us.

    The boat could accommodate 8 people, but it was just our family of 4 and 2 other which was really nice. Not over crowded or uncomfortable.

    The BBQ lunch was awesome, the food and drinks very great. The tables were set under gazebos for shade and the chicken and fish was great. There was really nice garlic bread and salad and as many cocktails or alcohol as we liked. The staff Tino, Manuerito & Eddy and the rest of the crew did an awesome job at the BBQ lunch.

    All in all we really enjoyed this excursion and would highly recommend that you choose this company for your tour. A 5 Island tour is a must do in Mauritius.

    We had a lovely time!
    Contact with them was really easy via WhatsApp. They responded promptly.
    The experience itself was great, we were welcomed by 2 gentlemen who let us sign the papers and make the payment.
    Then the seaplane landed at we got in (of course separate because only 1 passenger fits in the plane).
    The pilot took us for a tour and asked where we were staying. He flew past our hotel and then went on with the flight.
    There’s a good price/quality balance.

    Really nice experience with panoramic views over the coastline and water.

    We were met by our driver who brought us to the South of Mauritius to join our catamaran day cruise. This gave us the opportunity of seeing again some other views of the inland, odd shaped mountains, sugar cane fields, tea plantations and more. We boarded our catamaran bare foot about 15 adults suitably dressed in swimsuits! Several rules were given and we were off to a good sailing capacity by engine. The sea further out was slightly stormy however the rain did not happen to spoil our sailing expedition. We encountered dolphins en route a total surprise as WD passed the fish farms was as always an amazing site as speed boats sadly zigzagged around us to view! We gathered momentum as I took to the helm I did do the Day Skipper Course also have RYA sailing certificates. I sailed hard on 60° kept a steady course both currents and winds tended to shift us somewhat but steadied the craft was amazing loved it! Later that day others had a go! Not so easy! There were three crew members. We swam snorkeled then had great BBQ lunch and lashings of Rum all very delicious! We none of us got inebriated on drinking rum strange I think it is something to do with the heat! Drinking allowed struct ruling only and wisely after swim and lunch. Then we headed for the Isle aux Cerfs ( none to be seen though! ) We disembarked later where we would embark. We spent a couple of hours roaming, resting paddling, swimming on this beautiful island. I ate a sea urchin freshly fished was excellent! No qualms about eating fish or meat as Buddhists teach if creature is dead not specifically demanded by you for food it's fine. Our return journey was very exciting as we raised the sail and we're driven along by wind power was great could hear the waves lapping against our vessel A good enjoyable happy day was had by all with our friendly crew and we can truly say we had most memorable days sailing !

    Pick-up from the hotel was delayed, I think the driver was still at home when I got in touch with them. We got dropped off at the underwater walk place with very little explanation and walked to the beach to find no one. We eventually got told the boat will be coming soon. The experience itself was absolutely amazing and I can fully recommend it. The video and pictures are an additional 1500 Rupees and it’s on an USB stick.
    We then got a speedboat to Isle of Cerfs where you can opt for additional activities at cost or sit at the bar- again not included. Or you can walk the beach- where I don’t get the hype, the water smells and it’s knee deep and slightly dirty. Anyway, 2 hours of time wasting here and some more delays for the boat pick-up. The ride to the waterfalls was awesome, the captain made sure speed boat experience exactly that- fast and super fast. Great snaps at the waterfalls where he took us as close as the boat went.
    And then lunch- starter was garlic bread, rice and some potato salad. Then 1 piece of sausage, one chargrilled chicken thigh and some overcooked fish. Then a grilled banana. And some drinks, not unlimited as they run out of rum.
    Overall it was an ok day but overpriced for what it was. It is cheaper to book locally.
