Booked a driver for a day to visit Boise Cherie tea plantation and Flacq market. Booking done via their office a short walk up the beach from Lux Belle Mare. No hard sell, and very helpful. Driver picked us up on time next day from hotel and was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Car was good, price was great

This is a must do trip such good fun swimming snorkelling site seeing a vary fast boat feeding monkeys excellent lunch on the beach the drivers are great at their job and of course all the while having a sip of vanilla rum. Absolute heaven
We used Belle Mare tours for two trips during our stay at Long Beach, the South tour and a trip to Casela. I found them a little slow in responding to some of my emails. The south tour was interesting, and very informative, however I wasn't impressed at the obligatory stop at overpriced, uninteresting shops. Our tour to Casela was very good, and our driver was great - kept slowing down to show us items of interest, and having a good chat about Mauritian life. Prices are very competitive.
We met Belinda selling her sea excursions whilst on the beach at Lux Belle Mare. We decided on a half day speed boat excursion to the South Coast, what a fantastic day! We were met by Belinda’s sonWho was very friendly and introduced us to our crew for the day, Emily and Robin. What a great day from start to finish, feeding monkeys, waterfalls, snorkelling, surf cove, rum and coke and lots of laughs. A fantastic day at a very reasonable price. Definitely recommended
Amazing experience! We booked speed boat at Benetier including swimming with the dolphins, snorkelling and lunch BBQ at Benitier Island. Really enjoyed throughout. Price was fair about 2000 Rupees per person with transport included. I did booking without prior payment required. I must also highlight that they are very honest and doesnt just sell their product. They sell their product because they want you to enjoy your holiday. Highly recommended!
Enjoyed the speedboat tour to Iles aux Cerfs. Booking was easy via email and we were picked up on time from our hotel. Payment is at the end of the day by cash only. Lunch on the beach was excellent.
I stayed at the Solana Beach Hotel for a week from 27 April - 4 May and during this time, I made use of Belle Mare Tour for some excursions. They were swift to respond to my emails, tolerant when I postponed booked tours due to bad weather and always available to help. I will definitely make use of them when i go to Mauritius again. My driver Vikash Sohodeb was an absolute delight. Way to go guys!!
Used Belle Mare tours for my airport transit to long beach and back and also a trip to the local market. The were the quickest to respond in regards with pricing and were very competitive. They were also on time as scheduled and also changed my departure time with very short notice, fantastic operator. Thank you very much to our rivers Jean Michael and Riaem they were great, very helpful and patient.
We had two amazing days out. One the catamaran trip to the North Islands. Great food on the cat , some pleasant snorkelling , fantastic company , well organised and clean boat. And one on the speed boat to blue bay , the old lighthouse island ..Food was cooked and served on the quiet side of ile aux cerfs , lobster, chicken and fish.This was superb. Beautifully cooked and finished off with bananas and rum cooked on the bbq.All washed down with wine , and naturally, different flavoured drums. These two trips are fun days out with some lovely scenery. They are a must to do if you like being at sea. Great value. Thank you so much to all the crew of both boats our pickup drivers ., Not forgetting Jack Sparrow !
