Your Morning's Itinerary
Get Ready For The Experience Of A Lifetime Out On The Water With Nature
To ensure you get plenty of time with the dolphins, this tour departs bright and early from your hotel lobby, where your guide will greet you and show you to your transport. After about an hour we’ll reach our first destination; Black River’s jetty where we’ll board our boat and set off to see these amazing creatures in their natural habitat.
As we cruise through turquoise waters, you’ll be surrounded by stunning vistas of the West Coast of the island and the Black River Mountain Range so sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!
Our next destination is one of the most popular dolphin hangouts on the island, Black River Coast. Here you can expect to see whole pods of bottlenose and spinner dolphins jumping and frolicking in the crystal waters. As we approach the boat engines are cut, allowing us get closer without disturbing them. We’ll have plenty of time to watch, enjoy, interact and even get into the ocean and swim with these truly special animals, if you have luck you may even see a whale! Make sure to have your camera ready for some once-in-a-lifetime shots.
The Afternoon Awaits...
Experience The Beauty Of Benitiers Island
After the excitement of the dolphins we’ll venture near to the island oasis of Benitiers. Surrounded by a pristine lagoon, this is a swim and snorkel paradise! Feel free to relax and enjoy the views of the island, swim and snorkel from your boat to explore the underwater coral reefs that surround the island. Keep an eye out for Crystal Rock, an ancient volcanic formation which appears to magically float on the lagoon waters! Remember, your guide will be on hand at all times to show you the best spots on the island and answer any questions.
Our afternoon will include a laidback, Mauritian-style BBQ on Benitiers Island. We’ll serve chicken, fish, sausages and a selection of salads, as well as fresh lobster (at an extra charge) -make sure you save some space for the flambeed banana dessert! Around the BBQ will provide you with the perfect place to chat, relax and enjoy a delicious meal with your family & loved ones- islander style. After lunch your transport will take you back to your hotel to rest after an unforgettable day!
See What Our Clients Say
We visited a beautiful restaurant called Domaine Anna which gave us a wonderful feel for what Mauritius can offer, with the traditional Sega dance and live music.
Our visit to Caudan Waterfront was really picturesque with many places to buy your souvenirs in their own craft market.
The Blue Penny museum is a must as it is famous for its Blue Penny Stamp.
It was a great experience. We had the opportunity to visit this Domain with its Château and picturesque and romantic scenery…beautiful moment. It was an opportunity for us to enjoy local food, lovely. The gâteau Piments and ti-pouri during our safari drive were a delight. We also enjoyed our overnight stay at the Chazal camping tent and gave some fun with its zipline. It was really a very special time for us.
We had a 3 day stopover in Mauritius on our way to South Africa. We were welcomed by the chaffeur on our arrival at the airport after our long journey from Sydney. We had booked the shandrani hotel which was a 10 minute drive from the airport. We also booked the services of maurigold tours for the reverse airport transfer. Fantastic and reliable service. We would use them again.
Mauritius has the most beautiful and challenging golf courses, in particular Mont Choisy, which every golf enthusiast would find a challenge.
With the help of Maurigold Tours we were able to get around very easily incorporating nature activities and other gold courses around the island.
Je suis extrêmement reconnaissante auprès de Mildred, la directrice de MauriGold Tours. J’avais initialement prévue de faire un séjour d’un mois avec ma soeur, mais on est resté 3 mois au bout du compte à cause du confinement. Mes vacances se sont bien passées à Pereybere selon le programme au tout début. Avec le confinement’confinement’ on a du annuler la deuxième partie de notre séjour dans l’est sans frais d’annulation. Avec l’aide de Mildred, on a pu trouver un logement convenable à court terme à Pereybere. Je remercie toute l’équipe de MauriGold pour leur assistance pendant la période du confinement et d’avoir pu nous aider à trouver un vol pour rentrer à Paris. On retournera sans doute quand la situation retournera à la normale.
Je suis une inconditionnelle de l île Maurice et pour cela, avec mon mari ,nous nous décidâmes , début février 2020, de découvrir l île Rodrigues. Nous avons consulté notre agence Mauri Gold Tours qui nous organisé un circuit de trois nuits ,taillé sur mesure, dont nous fûmes enchantés !!!
En effet,nous avons pu bénéficier d une excursion sur l ‘île aux cocos et d une visite guidée à la réserve François Legnat où la végétation endémique nous subjugua. Nous pûmes également admirer les tortues géantes vivant dans ce paradis préservé. Nous gardons un souvenir mémorable de l ‘accueil chaleureux et authentique des Rodriguais. Notre séjour se termina dans le cadre idyllique de l hôtel Royal Palm à Maurice où nous avons pu jouir de toutes les prestations de ce lieu luxueux et emblématique. Un grand merci à toute l’ équipe de Mauri Gold Tours pour la programmation de ce circuit dans les deux îles enchanteresses!!!!!!
