Perfect boat tour - It was a fantastic trip. Everything as described and yet indescribably beautiful. The skippers were very welcoming, frequently offered drinks, conjured up an extensive BBQ with side dishes and served fresh fruit. The catamaran was not crowded, there were enough places to sunbathe and shade. We can only recommend it!

Family friendly, shared day cruise, exceeded expectations - Family friendly, multi-lingual (good English), and exactly as advertised. Perfect for my family of 6, with 4 kids under 13. The boat was clean, well stocked, and in good shape. The crew was professional, service oriented, and communicated regularly during the cruise about the plans and conditions. The food was delicious and plentiful. There were all sorts of beverages and snacks, available and served by the crew. The scenery was amazing. Highly recommended.

A Boat Trip Into Paradise - We used JPH for an excursion on our honeymoon, and we booked a boathouse at the Tamassa resort.
The whole day was brilliant. We made an error with our transfer, and turned up 30 minutes late for the taxi, which in turn meant we turned up ten minutes after the scheduled departure. Was there a hint of displeasure at us? Nope, nothing.
The catamaran was well-equipped, the crew were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience was just superb. We saw dolphins, then did some snorkelling before a BBQ lunch. The BBQ was great, by the way - sausages, fish, steak, chicken and all the salad and pasta you wanted. It was all prepped right there on the boat. All your drinks were included in the price, and there was no skimping - if you wanted a beer, you got a beer. If you wanted rum and coke, you got rum and coke.
Of course, the beautiful surroundings helped, the warm blue sea, sandy beach of the island we stopped at and the warm sun, but that alone doesn't get five stars. Like everything in Mauritius, it was the people that set it apart, from the warm, 'no-pressure' enquiry at the boathouse right through to the staff on the boat. Nothing was too much trouble.
If we're ever back in Mauritius, and I hope we are, I wouldn't hesitate to use JPH again.

Best tour - What an amazing experience!! The crew took so good care of us, telling us the history behind what we were seeing, always taking care of us, attention to detail. We saw the dolphins, snorkeling, visit the island. The food was perfect and the beverage were always coming! Recommend, top!!

Great experience - professional company - We booked the ‚dolphin trip‘ and the ‚catamaran trip‘. Both trips were great and we enjoyed every minute. We booked our trips with a transfer organized by the company. They picked us up from the hotel and brought us back in time. The staff of the company was so kind, friendly & funny. They made sure that we are comfortable and that we are enjoying our trip. The staff was respectful with the underwater animals, especially with the dolphins. There was always enough space between the boat and the dolphins. And the dolphins were never in a stressful situation. This was very important for us. The staff did a lot of great shots of us and we had so much fun. At the catamaran trip the staff was cooking for us at the boat (chicken, fish and shrimps). They also served salad, rice, baguette and a variety of different sauces. The food was great. Summarizing both trips with this organisation were professional and so cool. We loved it and we can only recommend it !!
Lovely greeting from Austria,

Very nice day with family - Despite the weather being a little unpredictable, we had a wonderful experience as a family.
Catamaran sailing, dolphin and whale watching, excellent lunch on board, swimming in the lagoon and (a little short) stopover on Île aux Bénitiers. All with a very friendly and attentive crew.

Super nice trip out to sea - The crew is very nice and eager, the BBQ was really great. All drinks are included and are always actively offered. The catamaran is in very good condition. The weather didn't play along with us, but we still had a very nice day despite the rain. A nice add-on was the sighting of whales. This tour is definitely worthwhile!
