We booked the Catamaran Cruise 3 Northern Island Adventure Tour and can recommend i t! If you are on holiday in Mauritius, you should definitely visit these beautiful islands (white dream beach and turquoise blue water). The beaches on Mauritius itself are not nearly as beautiful. We even saw water turtles and rays - really a unique experience. The guides on the boat are very friendly and funny. The food was also very tasty.

Guest reviews
Reviews from guests across our private tours and transfers.
Feel free to choose this travel agency to go around the island. They are reliable, work at a good price, respond quickly, and are flexible. I wholeheartedly recommend them. We took part in 4 different tours, our driver Mike with the SUV was super nice. We took part in the northern and southern car tours, as well as the 3-island catamaran tour in the north. And we had a half day tour to Vanille park in the south.
Belle Mare Tours were amazing. We did the North Day Tour and The Catamaran Cruise Tour. Their Catamaran Cruise was amazing. From the service to communication to the crew and tour guides everything was really great. They were quick to respond and very patient working around our schedule. The Catamaran Cruise is a must do activity with them. Value for your money. So worth the experience.
If there’s one thing you must do in Mauritius visit belle mare tours and go on their speed boat trip . Includes drinks, lunch and plenty of stops for snorkelling and swimming.we went on New Year’s Eve amazing day out. See the monkeys and waterfalls then onto another island to explore on the way we were lucky to see a pod of dolphins . Stopped off at a protected island to see the beautiful birds . Lunch was on Ile aux Cerfs island food plentiful and loads of rum tasting, watch out for the chilli rum(you have been warned). The two guys who took us made the trip, can’t remember when I’ve laughed so much . If you like speed on the water this is the trip for you. Such a brilliant memory to go home with .
We booked a catamaran cruise to Ille Aux Cerf. From the time Our driver, Rajah, was on time on pick us up at the hotel which was an hour away until he dropped us off safely, we had the the most amazing experience. Our catamaran crew.. Vish , Steward, Yash, Bhawan, Jeremy and the rest of the boys always made sure our drinks were full, they music was awesome and the barbecue lunch was outstanding. They were very kind and made us feel so special. The entire experience with Belle Mare is unforgettable and we highly recommend this if you want to have a joyful day of fun and paradise.
From the first enquiry Geerja was super helpful with all the questions we sent trying to arrange our tours for us - as you can imagine with it being our first visit to Mauritius we had lots! We were reminded of pick up times the day before excursions which was great. We booked 5 tours in the end; Blue cruise/ 5 island - shared (Papas Dream) Dolphin/ Île aux Benitiers - shared North Tour - private South Tour - private South East Tour - private Both Rishi and Mike our drivers for the private tours were excellent. Very friendly, full of information and pointed things out that we would otherwise have missed. Thank you so much for all of your help making our stay in Mauritius extra special.
The most amazing day great value for money friendly welcoming staff and great food and hospitality for the day highly recommend
We booked a scooter, a catamaran tour and the sea walking and all went great and the price was really good as well. The scooter was brought to our hotel and when we dropped it off, one of the guys (sorry can't remember his name) took us back to our hotel. Also when we did the sea walking Gurja (sorry if spelling isn't correct) was brilliant with us. Everybody was so helpful. When we got the Scooter Gurja gave us some tips on where to go etc. Would definitely recommend Belle Mare Tours.
Noo was amazing in helping us arrange a catamaran trip for lle aux curf and a le morne hike with a guide. Both of these tour days were very organised and value for money. We felt safe and we had an enjoyable experience. We also arranged an airport transfer through Belle Mare Tours which was very reasonably priced compared to our hotel.
