Disappointed. Not the day we expected. - We were not happy with this excursion. After arriving at Trou D'Douce, they indicated that the taxi, that they arranged, was supposed to take us to Belle Mare to do our parasailing. We then went to Belle Mare to do the parasailing and when we returned, it was already 11h00 and the catamaran had already left at 09h30. They then said that we were late but they were the ones that sent us to Belle Mare. We were not happy because the details clearly stated that we would board the catamaran at 09h30 and we were under the impression we would do our parasailing on the island. At this time we wanted to cancel our day because we spent our morning travelling in a taxi instead of on the catamaran but nobody was taking any responsibility. Our taxi driver was phoning around for us and trying to find a solution. Yusuf was amazing. He drove us to the GRSE waterfalls where they eventually picked us up at the jetty with a passenger boat to go see the GRSE waterfallls and then took us to the catamaran thereafter. Shortly after boarding we stopped for a short snorkelling session and was served lunch which was okay but not a 3 course meal. (Chicken, fish, rice and salads). Thereafter we were taken to the island where we spent 2 hours and were picked up by the catamaran at 15h00. We then sailed back to Trou D'Douce and the taxi taxi took us back to our hotel. I would definitely not recommend this excursion to anyone.

Was not well planned - It was an average trip… not really value for money: we were kept waiting for the parasailing and was then told to do it at the island at ill aux cerfs: parasailing was only 2 minutes: not value for money
