Great experience - We had 2 nice, young guides who explained what was allowed and what wasn't. We actually saw whales, including a mother with her baby. The crew treated the whales very respectfully. It was a wonderful, amazing experience.

Memorable encounter with whales - We were lucky to spot multiple pairs of Sperm whales. The guide was very helpful and informative. The whole experience was a memorable one

amazing and a lifetime memory - Superb trip with just 3 couples, so plenty of space and very relaxed. Captain and his mate knew the best area to seek the whales. We were privileged to observe 3 humpbacks, including mother and calf. Absolutely amazing and a lifetime memory. Highly recommend this crew who kept a respectful distance from the whales.

Successful whale watching - We saw a mother whale with her baby. The crew treated us respectfully. There were drinks and we had a little party

Whale watching with 100% success! - Great experience, we had a good young captain who took us to a group of whales. We were able to see 7 whales and 4 dolphins, just great. 🙏🙏🙏

Mauritius LUX Grand Gaube - We have been to Mauritius many times and debated whether it was time to go somewhere else or if we did visit then maybe a different hotel to LUX Grand Gaube where we have stayed many times. However we love the Island and it's people and we have always had an amazing experience at LUX GG so we decided to return again. Absolutely the right decision! All the staff at the hotel are wonderful, welcoming and so friendly and it is very difficult to single out individuals but the people who made our stay exceptional were: Ashwin and Ashwan in Palm Court and Creole Smoke Hse who went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful experience at every meal. We were similarly looked after in Beach Rouge by Nund, Akshaye and Pergum. Not forgetting Bodrum where we had exceptional service from Durgesh. In INTI Yasser was the perfect host with attention to detail. Diron was always on hand to ensure we had no issues and were really enjoying our holiday. Chef Deepuck cooked superb meals and it's no surprise we both put on the weight! In the bar the cocktails were amazing made mainly by Kevish and Yovan. On the beach, were we spent most of the day, we were looked after brilliantly by the ''man in the hat'' Reedoo, supported by Anoop and Veer and in the adult area by Kumar. All of whom make delicious milkshakes. Pravesh, our room boy, made incredible towel sculptures and kept our room very clean. And last but not least our thanks to Elena at reception for her understanding and efficiency. Overall LUX GG constantly delivers a wonderful experience and the staff always make it so special.

Definitely do another tour! - Really great! We had really nice tour guides/captains and actually saw sperm whales. As a little "extra" we drove past Crystal Rock - the tours usually cost extra. So I can only recommend it! We were also told that there are also tours that offer snorkeling/diving with whales. This stresses the animals and is forbidden according to the coast guard. The captains always kept a good distance from the animals so as not to harass them. The whole thing was really beautiful!

Beautiful moments - Important in advance! The chance of seeing whales is 60%! That means there is a 40% chance that you will return to land without seeing any whales. Everyone who books this tour should be aware of that. We were lucky and saw sperm whales. It is a unique moment to see these animals. Arriving was a bit strange. A woman greeted us. Or rather, she wanted to know the name and had us sign a form. When we asked if there was an opportunity to go to the toilet beforehand, she said there was one on the boat. However, as the description said speedboat, it was clear to me that there would be no toilet there. I found that a bit strange. There wasn't one either ;). The trip on the speedboat was great. We thought it was a great experience to be out at sea so far without seeing any whales. The crew was very patient. They made an effort to find the animals without seeming rushed or dubious. When we spotted whales, they were very respectful. Unfortunately, there are other dubious providers who offer swimming with whales. When they come, the whales understandably dive. It was sad to see how limited tourists can be for a 10-second experience. I thought the Dolswim crew was very good and a good contrast. They explained a lot about the whales and after more than 2.5 hours we all went back to land happy. I would book the tour again at any time! We really enjoyed it. Thank you for this unique experience.

Family - We met a mother whale and her baby. Because family is the most important GIFT!!! Thank you and enjoy Mauritius

Mesmerizing!! - With min hopes of watching whale at the end of the season we were actually stunned to see these majestic beauty 3 times in this trip. 1st time there were 5 of them together. Vic and sydney helped us to see more. Really must try experience.
