Speedboat was fun ,lunch amazing, our pick up/drop off driver,Anoj was pleasant and very informative educating us about Mauritius We were only able to do 1 activity, Tubing . Due to the weather unable to do parasailing.Company (Freshverde) contracted, advised us to request a refund for the parasailing. Please advise how to process the refund .
So it started well then parasailing was cancelled due to Cyclone alerts at that time .. we were told me and my wife you ll get a 40 usd refund each and you should contact the company , which we did and they confirmed it s gonna happen ! and then we were left behind me and my wife on the lunch island despite being on time for the final itenerary which was supposed to be GRSE waterfall , someone came back to took us with another couple that was also left behind and we found ourselves going back to the starting point without anyone explaining to us .. so i called the company and they told us it s also cancelled due to weather conditions and we ll get refunded this part as well .. So it s been almost a month without any refund and i also completely forgot about it .. and when i just remembered this morning i made the partial refund request i got an email of a 12 usd refund accepted !!! This is not accepted !!
gorgeous island. cool boat trip to island, and the parasailing was awesome... Undersea walk and tube riding cancelled due weather/surf conditions...
Very poorly coordinated and pathetic experience from the tour company. Picked up late, no life jackets and had to wait for each & every activity…very disappointing experience
Our driver Daren was brilliant, very informative and extremely time conscious which helped a lot. “Mr Muscles” our speed boat driver (Mauri tats on the arm) was a very fast boat driver and handler - the trip was such fun. Just loved it. Take cash with you, as you cannot tip staff with a card (we only had a card with us) also take sunscreen! The day is quite long and hot. (Thankfully we did) you can order videos and photos of the underwater walk and the parasailing trip (1500 rupees per event) that was really worth it too. Lunch was good (lovely garlic bread, delish potato salad and amazing chicken!) overall fantastic way to spend the day.
The planning for the trip is awful. We booked this adventure trip. We enjoyed all the activities undersea walking, tube riding, GRSE, and parasailing. The trip includes a meal. We are vegetarian, veg food was okay (not too bad not too good). The staff was friendly and professional. The trip started with pick up. Then we drove to the first activity undersea walking. It was amazing we purchased additional pics and a video package. After finishing this activity we drove to Ile aux Cerf parking. We embark on a speed boat to Ile Aux Cerf Beach. Ile aux cerf is a beautiful beach and one of the best in Mauritius. It's anything you have seen before. Pristine clear and turquoise color water. We were given only 1 hour on this island. Unfortunately, we were not able to enjoy our time on this island because our activities were planned for this location. Parasailing and tube riding. Then we boarded the speed boat again at noon. The boat took us to GRSE waterfall. Then to lunch at 1 PM on an island. From 1 PM till 3:30 PM, we just killed the time. The island where we had our lunch had a beach which is very dirty. It's one of the nasty beaches. we just found a shade under a tree to kill time by watching Netflix. 2 hours were wasted at the island where we had lunch. The beaches on this island were filled with algae. The water was unclear and not the place where you could swim or snorkel. All around the island. We checked on all sides of it. Improvement for trip organizer: 1. Give more time on Ile Aux Cerf beach 2. Please be on time for pick up (1 hr late for us) 3. Add more options for vegetarians For trip buyers: 1. Opt out for GRSE. It's not very interesting, Ask for more time at ILE aux Cerf
The entire experience was worth the price. The transfers were clean, well air conditioned and on time. The driver was kind and professional. The instructors for the undersea walk, tube ride and parasailing were so kind and patient. The speed boat transfers were wonderful. The food as part of the lunch was actually better tasting than the food at our resort. Overall a truly amazing experience.
From pick up at the hotel till drop-off, evertything was absolutely perfect. Loved Undersea walk. Parasailing, tubing and visiting the island
we had a great time at ile aux cerfs island. the activities were amazing. our first time doing parasailing. it is a great experience. The food was nice especially the bbq chicken. special thanks to our driver manu.. thanks to my nephew who bought us this trip!!
Well I am travel lover and I would write my most honest review for my fellow travellers. I I boarded the taxi 7:20. Then I went to undersea walk which was pretty fine. Then I went on to board speed boat for the island. When I reached there the activity area was so mismanaged that we ended up doing only tube riding and no para sailing and the guys said you will do it after lunch. They were in so much hurry to finish the trip that we went to see the grse waterfalls and then rushed to the island for lunch and then winded up asap to return to the jetty and I couldn’t communicate with anyone regarding my parasailing activity for which I paid 2500 Rs and there’s no help whatsoever regarding it and the only motto is to finish the trip as quickly as possible. Nothing else. I have travelled 6 countries with this app. But I must say that 288 dollars is not worth it and secondly this trip was the most disastrous across all 6 countries. 288 dollars is pinching my wallet every second and specially the parasailing amount. Don’t go for it. Just don’t waste your money. Rest god bless and may be gods with you always.
Great exciting experience...would do it all over again. Loved paragliding and the ocean walk was totally epic.
This was a fun, activity packed day. The day started with the undersea walk which was just an incredible experience and one we highly recommend. There was so much fish swimming around us the whole time, and we even got a chance the feed the fish ourself by giving them bread from our hand. Our diver guide was fantastic. Truly highlight of the day. The tube ride was really, really fun and so was the parasailing. Both really fun experiences, if perhaps a bit short. The sailing to GRSE was great. We saw so many monkeys, and even saw some bats. The captain was great. The only thing that was perhaps not so great was lunch (served at 3pm..) but otherwise this is a great trip to book if you want want a day filled with fantastic activities!
We had a great family day at ile a cerf island. our kids enjoy the beach and the activities, swimming in the blue water . the parasailing was a life time experience as it was my first time. We had a BBQ chicken lunch which was nice. Our day went very well. the speed boat was a thrilling experience :D :D. I lost my hat due to the high speed but it was fun.. I recommend this trip to beach lover.
Absolutely loved the trip, however at each activity it was a bit disorganised and we would have been completely lost without our taxi driver. He made sure we did not have to pay anything extra and had to keep calling the agency to make sure we got each aspect of our trip. The activities were good but not sure we would've been able to do them without him.
The tour was okay but I would generally not recommend. A cab driver picked us up - in time and unbelievably friendly guy. Unfortunately that’s about the best thing of the trip. He took us to several different places where we were to do all the activities. What we were missing was the entertainment. Everything was set up to push as many people as possible through. „Unlimited drinks“ is a joke, just as the 3 course lunch is. They gave us warm coke with cheap rum and a half way grilled hotdog sausage. The speedboattrip was okay but the captain didn’t talk or explain anything. So we were basically sitting on a little boat going pretty fast, lots of waves, strong wind, no drinks and no fun. My recommendation: Find a tour that’s organized by one person instead of a cab driver and 4 different stations.
I am very divided on this release. All the services were there: driver who picks us up and brings us back to the hotel, towed buoy, parasailing, scuba diving, visit to deer island and visit to the waterfall but the whole thing is very poorly paced/organized . Because we are mixed with other groups of tourists who are doing the catamaran trip or just an activity like scuba diving. So we waited 1 hour in the parking lot for late customers, then we did 5 minutes of buoying and 5 minutes of parachute. Then wait 45 minutes on a platform in full sun (just a tarpaulin with 2 stakes for shade) for another boat to come and drop us off for the underwater walk which lasts 10 minutes. Then return to the platform, wait again for 20/30 minutes to take yet another speedboat to go to Ile aux Cerfs for 1h30/2h then departure for the beach restaurant (duration 2h) without the pilot telling us what time he picks us up and finally visit the waterfall. In summary, too much waiting for the actual duration of the activities. Despite everything, the underwater walk and the visit to the waterfall are definitely worth doing, thanks to Adrian the boat pilot who likes speed and therefore good sensations on the speedboat but things to improve to make the experience really nice . Our hotel (flic en flac) was an hour and a half drive from this activity so 3 hours drive for so little time for activities is disappointing. To plan: 45 euros extra if you want photos of yourself during all the activities.
