A Boat Trip Into Paradise - We used JPH for an excursion on our honeymoon, and we booked a boathouse at the Tamassa resort. The whole day was brilliant. We made an error with our transfer, and turned up 30 minutes late for the taxi, which in turn meant we turned up ten minutes after the scheduled departure. Was there a hint of displeasure at us? Nope, nothing. The catamaran was well-equipped, the crew were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience was just superb. We saw dolphins, then did some snorkelling before a BBQ lunch. The BBQ was great, by the way - sausages, fish, steak, chicken and all the salad and pasta you wanted. It was all prepped right there on the boat. All your drinks were included in the price, and there was no skimping - if you wanted a beer, you got a beer. If you wanted rum and coke, you got rum and coke. Of course, the beautiful surroundings helped, the warm blue sea, sandy beach of the island we stopped at and the warm sun, but that alone doesn't get five stars. Like everything in Mauritius, it was the people that set it apart, from the warm, 'no-pressure' enquiry at the boathouse right through to the staff on the boat. Nothing was too much trouble. If we're ever back in Mauritius, and I hope we are, I wouldn't hesitate to use JPH again.

Best tour - What an amazing experience!! The crew took so good care of us, telling us the history behind what we were seeing, always taking care of us, attention to detail. We saw the dolphins, snorkeling, visit the island. The food was perfect and the beverage were always coming! Recommend, top!!

Great experience - professional company - We booked the ‚dolphin trip‘ and the ‚catamaran trip‘. Both trips were great and we enjoyed every minute. We booked our trips with a transfer organized by the company. They picked us up from the hotel and brought us back in time. The staff of the company was so kind, friendly & funny. They made sure that we are comfortable and that we are enjoying our trip. The staff was respectful with the underwater animals, especially with the dolphins. There was always enough space between the boat and the dolphins. And the dolphins were never in a stressful situation. This was very important for us. The staff did a lot of great shots of us and we had so much fun. At the catamaran trip the staff was cooking for us at the boat (chicken, fish and shrimps). They also served salad, rice, baguette and a variety of different sauces. The food was great. Summarizing both trips with this organisation were professional and so cool. We loved it and we can only recommend it !! Lovely greeting from Austria, Michelle & Daniela <3

Super nice trip out to sea - The crew is very nice and eager, the BBQ was really great. All drinks are included and are always actively offered. The catamaran is in very good condition. The weather didn't play along with us, but we still had a very nice day despite the rain. A nice add-on was the sighting of whales. This tour is definitely worthwhile!

A day catamaran cruise - excellent experience - We have been offered a pleasurable catamaran cruise by Sylvester from the Tamassa boat house in Bel Ombre. The day trip included plenty of activities including dolphin watching, snorkelling and swimming with fishes, BBQ on board, visiting Chrystal rock and the coastal market on Bènitiers island. The whole day was relaxed, smooth and beautiful how Sylvester described before this we must highlight that it really worth it! All the transfer the cruise were organised very well thus we have had a memorable day on board on our honeymoon. Thank you again for Sylvester and the catamaran cruise crew for the great hospitality, delicious BBQ and fun! We are going to be back! E & G from the 11/10/2023 group

Fabulous Catamaran To be on - Absolutely fantastic experience for the whole day of our catamaran ride with them, the crew on board is hospitable and courteous to the core. The sighting of both dolphins as well as whales was a thrill to our heart’s content as our catamaran was kept floating in the area for a while. They served well made vegetarian food specifically to us as we were the only vegetarians on board, supply of beverages being unlimited. Due to some error in location we were delayed in reaching the boarding jetty, even though the catamaran had already sailed they made special arrangements for us & friends by providing speedboat to board the catamaran, this is laudable. The crew were assisting and guiding well all on board for mid-sea swimming and snorkeling. All in all definitely a catamaran service to opt for.

A perfect day in paradise - What an amazing, unforgettable day! From the moment we set off, the catamaran trip was so enjoyable, the scenery was beautiful, great service from the crew. Endless drinks, fantastic lunch cooked on board. The dolphins swam alongside the catamaran, it was so exciting to see them. We had a short stop at stunning Île aux Bénitiers, time for a coconut/rum cocktail, freshly prepared on the beach. What a perfect way to see this beautiful island and sample a little of its fantastic culture. Would definitely recommend this; the crew were fantastic.

Fantastic experiences - From start to finish this was one of the best days of our holiday. Lionel booked us in for our day on a private catamaran and our speed boat experience. He was so lovely to speak to about what we wanted and we were not disappointed. On the day we had door to door taxis, collection from Sugar Beach. Then to the catamaran. The staff were wonderful, we loved every second. The food, the snorkeling it was a perfect day. Highly recommended. We will be booking with them again.
