Recommend, particularly if you are South Side of island to see something new - Take your own snorkels unless you're happy enough to use one's provided on the boat. If you can take an underwater go pro or pouch for your phone to take amazing footage of turtles and fish. Deepak is a very knowledgeable guide - encourages you to try local delicacies which were nice. 5⭐️ to Deepak!

Very good experience with Baboo - Really good experience, Baboo was an amazing guide and took us to some incredible food spots! Highly recommend. The beach he took us for swimming with the turtles was also amazing!

Wonderful authentic Mauritanian culture - Our guide for the day was Deepak, who was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and very happy to engage in conversation, explaining the history of the island along our journey. He took us to places we wouldn’t have found on our own, and the experience was definitely worth doing. The snorkelling was excellent, and we managed to swim very close to a turtle within 10 minutes on the boat. The boiled noodles are delicious!

50/50 ish - I really looked forward to the swim with turtles. That’s not it was. There was one poor turtle being chased down by at least 5 other boats also full of tourist. The coral was dead due to the high volume of people and tourist boats and lots of sea urchins so bring water shoes. But the second part was good. Nishel was our driver and guide. He asked what we liked, needed and took us around. Food was good got vanilla like I wanted. He explained the culture, history and life on Mauritius.

Beautiful experience - It was good. The turtle was really close but some other tourists couldn't resist the urge to touch the friendly critter even after several hints not to do so. We have some great videos of the beautiful reptile. The street food tour was also good. It was our first time in Port Louis and it looks so vibrant and interesting. Our guide Deepak gave us in Port Louis and on the way to the turtle beach some interesting trivia and insights about Mauritius. Overall a great trip.

SAVE YOUR MONEY - AWFUL TRIP - Viators is the worst company i have used - We went with VIATORS it was the worst experience I have ever had, we were dragged by the boat, shouted at and was only in the water about 15 to 30 minutes, the boat driver was throwing fish at the turtles which frightened them, my daughter and I were so scared of being shouted at we swam back to shore which was about 800m for a 14 year old anything could have gone wrong.

SAVE YOUR MONEY - AWFUL TRIP - We booked this trip and were so upset it was the worst day I have ever had, firstly we were in the water for less then 15 minutes, the boat driver shouted at myself and my daughter and we were so scared to get back on the boat we swam to shore, it was quite away in deep water, the boat gets so close to the turtles and throwing fish at them very hard, that they weren't happy at all, this is cruel. From start of getting into the boat to it ending was about 30 minutes max.

Not what you pay for - Don’t waste your money. We got picked up ok with our driver and dropped at the beach to get on the boat to see the Turtles. That’s where it went down hill very fast. We got taken out on a boat and swapped to another boat where it was obviously a trip others had already started. We got in the water to see the Turtles and was asked to hold onto the steps while the boat reversed along. This was not pleasant and my partner and her daughter couldn’t hold onto it properly as they were being kicked in the face by others holding another step. My partners daughter was dragged over the coral and scraped her legs. They then refused to hold onto the boat and swam back to the beach. I got on the boat while it moved further along and got back in again. The operator of the boat was very rude and all in all I was only out about 30mins at most. My partner was that upset we went back to our hotel from there and did not do the rest of the trip.
