Good day from start to finish! Our driver, Radhika, made the long journey enjoyable with her friendly nature and positive vibes. The catamaran crew was equally wonderful and friendly and ensured everyone was having a good time. We also got luckily and spotted some dolphins during our trip which was amazing. the food was good, and drinks flowed throughout the day. The Snorkelling was good, and while the waterfall itself was modest, the boat ride and monkeys made it worthwhile. Île aux Cerfs not quite what we expected. A special mention to Radhika, who took great care of us throughout the day and made both transfers a pleasure.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted you enjoyed the catamaran trip, the dolphin sighting, and the warm hospitality of the crew. A special thank you for your kind words about Radhika—we're so happy she made your journey comfortable and enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back to Mauritius for more island adventures soon! 🌴

We spent a great day with FreshVerde Holidays for the excursion to Ile aux Cerfs and the GRSE waterfall, by catamaran, with barbecue on board. The crew was really great: friendly, caring, and they took the time to get closer to the dolphins so we could see them up close. An incredible moment! We would also like to thank Manav, who was in charge of our transfer from the hotel to the place of departure and the return. Super friendly, very good driver, he told us a lot about Mauritian life and explained the buildings on the way, and all this, in impeccable French. We definitely recommend FreshVerde Holidays for a memorable outing in Mauritius and Manav for safe transportation.

Manav sera très heureux de lire vos compliments sur son accueil et ses explications. Merci encore pour votre recommandation, et nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau pour d’autres moments mémorables à l’Île Maurice 🌴
Trip was very good overall and stuff were very friendly. Food was very dood and service was flawless. Thanks also our driver Hasheem, who pick us from the other side of the island and guided us straight to the pier where the trip started and was waiting us on the pier after the trip ended . By our own I think we don't know how to get there.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the trip, the food, and the service. Hasheem will be thrilled to hear your feedback—he always strives to make travel smooth and worry-free. We’re glad he could guide you safely to and from the pier, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in Mauritius 🌴

We appreciate your kind words about our family-operated service and hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience in Mauritius 🌴
We were picked up at 7am already, and had a 2 hour drive. The ride was super nice! Radhika, our driver picked us up in a good mood despite the early morning hours and talked very well with stories about the country and people, which made the ride incredibly entertaining. With a boat we were then driven to the catamaran and were allowed to spend beautiful sunstrokes on the deck. The crew was super friendly, very attentive and strives to give us a nice day. The barbecue on board was really very good and drinks were provided at all times. The snorkeling tour was short but beautiful. We've seen some beautiful fish. We were taken by boat to a small waterfall. The waterfall was ok, but the drive there and the monkeys there were worth the short drive. We then had 1.5h time at the end on the Ile aux cerf, which unfortunately was not as nice as we thought. Relatively full, very coarse-grained beach with many sharp-edged shells and many algae in the water. Then a nice ride back, with good conversations, drinks and treats. The transfer back with Radhika was a pleasure again! She rounded off the day perfectly and took good care of us, even when my stomach caused some problems. All in all an absolutely successful day. The people here are super friendly and cheerful, which makes everything nicer. Thanks and gladly again!!! Laura and Oli

Radhika will be thrilled to hear your kind words — she always loves sharing stories and taking great care of our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable day in Mauritius 🌴
It was a very pleasant day. Manav, our taxi driver took us to the boat and picked us up later. During the two-hour trip he told a lot about the island. The catamaran trip was very pleasant. Drinks on board and a delicious bbq, nice trip and nice snorkeling. The crew was very friendly and cheerful, there was even dancing on board. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the day with Manav, the catamaran trip, the snorkeling, and the barbecue.
