Great day perfectly organised - If you're looking for a daily adventure that combines the joy of exploration with the opportunity to relax in crystal-clear waters, then this excursion is for you. The morning transfer picked us up on time (we even arrived at the boat quite early). After observing the GRSE Waterfall up close and feeding the curious monkeys nearby, we were taken to visit the lighthouse island and then went snorkelling at the Blue-Bay Marine Park. Before heading to Ile aux Cerfs, a delicious lunch with plenty of options was served onboard. Later, we relaxed in the calm, shallow waters near Ile aux Aigrettes. Our 10/10 for this day is thanks to the crew's perfect organization of the itinerary; they were really friendly with everyone on board and even entertained us pleasantly with a varied musical repertoire. A special thanks goes to Mevin, the driver who took us to the boat and brought us back to our accommodation. He answered all our questions about local customs and traditions (even early in the morning!) and made sure our day started and ended in the best possible way. Thank you, Mevin!

Tanning day / fun in the sun - U need to carry sunblock. N wear sun factor clothes. Cause there is a possibility u will be sitting in the sun all day. Carry snacks with you. So you are not starving. Food is just 1 piece chicken. Toasted bread & 1 piece fish. 1piece pineapple. They give u 1 cooked banana. N nothing extra to eat. If you ask for food nothing more is given. So make sure u eat early before u do this tour or u will be starving. Guide Nelson is very friendly and accommodating. However ask him to not leave u standing in the sun, when u go to the lighthouse location. If u go up to see it. Make sure u take an umbrella. Weather is often unpredictable because even if ur boat is anchored u still drift away. N the back ladder moves. So u r not able to climb into the boat on ur own.. If u r a big lady it's very difficult to climb back in. Take ur husband with u.. It's way better than doing a catamaran. U see so much more. Value for money as a tourist. Looking for a compact Day filled with excellent visuals. Dolphins where the highlight for me. The waterfall n monkey feeding was fab also. I was so disappointed with not getting seafood or not being able to pay for seafood when at the lunch place. This is where viator failed us with the food.

Most amazing day out. - We booked this trip for 8 of us... 2 kids aged 8 & 10, and the rest of the family, including grandparents. I won't lie, getting up at 5:30 to be collected at 6:30 stung a little bit when we realised we were an hour early for our boat. But, despite that minor irritation at the start, we had the best day! Our drivers were so kind, and made sure they stayed with us until the boat arrived. They went out of their way to look after us. The cars were immaculate. Our tour guide / skipper for the day was Nelson. He was amazing from start to finish - great fun, looked after us all so well, and even switched around the stops for us so that we could avoid the crowds. The food at the Cerfs beach stop was absolutely delicious, and again, all staff were friendly and helpful. Everything from start to finish was wonderful, we would highly recommend! Recommendations for those considering this tour - There were 8 of us on the boat, which was a lovely speed boat with a shade cover if needed. Definitely make sure you use the toilet beforehand, as there aren't any where you get on the boat (the drivers took us to a local one before we got on the boat - BYO loo roll!). Take water shoes if you can - but it won't be the end of the world if you don't. They provide drinks and snacks all day, but we took our own breakfast. Plenty of sun screen!! Thank you so much for a wonderful day, we loved every minute!

Actually a beautiful tour in paradise. - We had a wonderful day, but with two annoying limitations. The sun canopy did not “work”, so we sat in the blazing sun for the entire tour. Almost all other boats had sun protection. In the evening we noticed that AirPods and a key were gone. We still have not received any response to multiple requests to see if the “lost” items were found after 4 days. That leaves a bland aftertaste, of course.

Have a good day but no facilities for everyone on the boat! - Overall we had a good day. Our boat driver, David, was very friendly and we ate very well at lunch on the deer island beach. However, there were 10 of us on the boat but there were only 3 masks and snorkels! Yet it was well written in the description of the excursion that the material was understood. In addition, the other people on the boat told us that he had paid 50€ less per person by moving to another site. I therefore recommend that you compare the services

Don’t try these suppliers. - No unlimited drinks , no alcohol and very cheap service. Poorly maintained scuba gear. Driver was late, we waited an hour to board a poorly supplied boat.

When we booking the ... - When we booking the pick-up from the hotel was at 08:00. I received an email informing me that it would be at 06.30 On the day I received a message that it would be at 06:00. During the trip to the port, the driver almost crashed and fell asleep at a traffic light!!!! We arrived at the port at 07.30 and had to wait without anyone until 09:00. When we returned at 15.00 we didn't have a driver and we had to wait and only arrived at our hotel at 18.30. A shame because the places we visited were fantastic, the boat was good and the boat captain was excellent. It could have been a fantastic day but unfortunately the pick-up and drop-off to our hotel was too terrible. Unbelivieble!!
