Awesome trip cool crew and good times at sea! - Every thing about this trip was fantastic. The transfer from the hotel was long as we were in Flic en Flac and the bay is on the east side, our driver was great company and we talked all the way there and back which made the journey of nearly 3hrs combined there and back fly by, traffic is crazy in the morning in Mauritius. The speedboat trip was superb, our captain was a super cool guy and very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs, the beers and rum kept flowing. The much was also very nice, you have to experience the way they do this as it’s a perfect fit for the different boat trips, in our group which consisted of another 2 couples all from the UK we managed to polish off a whole bottle of rum at lunch and they offered us another!! We could not snorkel due to rough sea, but as a bonus on the way back we slowed down to have dolphins swimming with the boat and the. We also got to sea sea turtles swimming and coming up for air. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves the sea and fast boats and drinking (that’s optional you will still enjoy without the Rum!)

Nice Day on a boat - for everyone... - Nice boat - trip on a sunny day in Mauritius... - We had this trip in May 2025 and have to say, that it was fantastic... - The pick up at our hotel was without any problems... - when you book, trough tripadvisor.com then your driver vil cantact you the day before and give som informations... - When we arrived the meeting point, the driver handed us over to our boat Crew... - they was pretty friendly and professionel... Then we finaly drove out by boat and explored the first to islands the shipwrack and the old lighthouse... - after that, we was going further into the Black River and visited the waterfall, there we meet som monkeys and beautiful birds... - after that, we was going to a beautiful coastline and enjoyed our BBQ on the beach... - there was also time enough to swim or snorkeling in the amazing blue shallow water... All in all, this trip is recommendet for everybody... - even for familys with small children or elder people... - the guides are very helpful and make this trip to a sucess for everyone...

Manav was great! - Loved the experience. My wife had a wonderful 30th birthday and Manav of the Freshverde company was extremely helpful and friendly. He made sure we were all comfortable and agreed to a drive on fairly short notice to accommodate.

5 islands with Nelson - This is probably the best day trip we've ever done. Top marks to Nelson who made sure we had a great day. If you only do one trip in Mauritius - this is the one.

Simply wonderful day out - Just a fantastic day out. Both the driver who took us to/from the tour, and our tour guide Nelson were excellent. Fantastic scenery, lovely food and drink. Would give 6 stars if I could!

Loved Ile aux Cerfs - I booked this trip with Viator and was told pick up was 8am. The day before the trip I got a message to say pick up was now 7am. We waited for our driver and he didn’t turn up until 7.25am!!! He barely spoke to us and was a crazy driver. Driving very fast and dangerously close to cars in front. We got to the boat pick up point near the airport in one piece…somehow! Our boat skipper was Nelson and he was amazing! Our faith in freshverde was restored! He was fun, knowledgeable and friendly. He really cared about the people on the trip and made sure everyone had a great day. All the stops were lovely with Ile aux Cerfs a highlight. Despite a downpour of rain, we had a great day. Nelson made us all laugh and really made the trip great. When we got off the boat everyone else’s driver was waiting for them…ours was not! We had to wait 20 minutes in boiling hot sun for him to turn up. That was after I called asking where he was! A great day on the boat, but the transfer was a nightmare!

Good trip - not quite matching description - Overall this trip was a very enjoyable way to spend the day… our pickup and drop off went smoothly, the staff on the speed boat were very friendly and helpful too… however the experience didn’t match the itinerary/description exactly. For example my wife was looking forward to an hour on the glass bottom boat but as nobody wanted to snorkel in the Blue Bay, this part of the trip was cut short by about half an hour, as we got taken to our speed boat instead. We don’t remember anything about a shipwreck or prison either! Didn’t see much of Ile aux Cerfs either other than having lunch on a small but very beautiful beach.. so just be aware this trip may not meet exact expectations BUT we still were well looked after and had a really lovely time… just go with the flow!!! Also remember this is mainly on a speedboat which may not be suitable for all as quite bumpy in parts.

Deer Island Tour - Most certainly a great adventure to do with the beautiful of course!!! It is better to manage even to enjoy the island, rather than going through providers ( Mautourco) who take you 3 x more expensive than what can be found by snooping and talking with the locals. This company did not hesitate to make us travel more than 2 hours for a day by boat in a torrential rain. We didn’t enjoy the day as we hoped. We are announced an excursion with 10 people maximum, we find ourselves at 16 on a boat with rain, wind and cold. Instead of cancelling we are still sent there with a promise of a beautiful time. No refund if we do not board the boat in view of the weather. I put a star for the crew who had nothing to do with it and who were really top. I regret that the money put into this excursion does not go directly into their pocket rather than into that of this company which obviously does not give a damn about these customers or these employees. Take a walk on the island you will find nice people who will offer you nice excursions much cheaper and especially that will benefit them.
