We've booked the South Tour, South Island hopping speed boat trip and scuba diving trips with Bellemare Tour. They arrived on time and much more competitive price than the hotel operators we are staying with. Negash was so helpful and cannot do enough for us. The speed boat trip was just the best. The guide was very understanding with we have young children (2 four years old boys). And they thoroughly loved it. We paid a private boat for us which I think it helped. Highly recommended.

Connexions tours let us down badly phoned Belle Mare with in 10 minutes thay had organised us a day outing. We had the most amazing day on the catamaran with lunch on the boat, snorkelling,swimming and the most wonderful experience parasailing. One of their staff namely Joyce looked after us and gave us five star treatment. Highly recommend them with out a doubt

We did the Blue Bay and Ile Aux Cerfs trip. Since we were staying up the road from their office, they picked us up and dropped us off, which was nice not having to worry about transport. I usually get quite sea sick on boat trips, but I think because the speedboat is so fast my stomach didn't quite know what hit it! So that was a win. I feel like the guys who took us were the cowboys of boat tours, the music was pumping, we did some high flying over the sea... it was a lot of fun! (Probably not recommended for someone who wants a quieter trip- also the speedboat has no overhead cover, so the sun gets pretty intense). We saw everything that was promised, just wished we spent some more time snorkelling. Lunch on the beach was very good, ending with tasting some of the craft rums made on the island. Lovely day out and extremely well priced!

We booked a day speed boat trip along the East coast and had a thoroughly enjoyable day visiting several islands, the waterfall and the marine park where we snorkeled. A lobster and chicken lunch was served in the shade just off the beach. Our captain was very informative and gave us quite an exciting ride at times. All in all an enjoyable day, well organised and good value. Collected by minibus from and returned to our hotel Would recommend.

We took South Island Tour and Catamaran Cruise with them. Excellent service because the taxi arrived on time (very punctual), a nice clean car (megane renault) & very good communication with the driver who also became our personal photographer (no need to bring tripod or selfie stick!) and reasonable cheap price. For the catamaran cruise to lle aux benitiers, we got exactly what we wanted! A big catamaran with less crowded and BBQ onboard! We get to see the dolphins too! It was awesome and a day cruise to remember. Thank u satar ( the one that i communicate through whatsapp for the bookings ). This tour operator is Seriously recommended. 👍🏻

Taxi to north and south and catamaran to the west. Had a very nice driver/guide to the north and to south and a bad driver bringing me to the west for the catamaran..so not a bad score!!

Went on The Blue Cruise with Belle Mare Tours, and cannot recommend enough. Everyone we have spoken to from the tour company has been friendly and knowledgeable, and the trip was very easy to organise. The trip itself was amazing - speeding round the sea, visiting the islands, snorkeling, delicious lunch... everything was great (and very good value). We're looking forward to the next tour! Thanks

During a walk into Belle Mare, we came across the agency for Belle Mare Tours. The staff were extremely helpful, and when looking at the price list, we noticed that they were cheaper than other prices we looked at, even beating Ebrahim Tours. We booked the speed boat instead of the catamaran as we could view more sites in the same time period. The staff also helped with arranging a separate tour for my 80 year old mother-in law. We were all fetched from the hotel and dropped off again. Lunch provided included drinks, garlic brad, grilled dorado fish, grilled chicken and grilled lobster. As tempting as it is, I would stay away from the lobster as I suspect it caused diarrhea. Shell fish are general more susceptible. All in all they provided a great service
