“We were pickup by boat at the meeting point, we drove to the island Curieuse. There our tour guide gave us a very informative introduction. Then we had some free time to get to know the giant tortoises. Then we went on a hike to the other side of the island. On the way, our tour guide gave us many interesting information and insides. He made sure we were all save and taken care of. On the other side of the island, we had some free time again. Then we were pickup by the boat again and we went snorkeling.”

3.Half-Day Mahe private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 11 reviews

Spend five hours exploring Mahe with a private driver-guide, hotel or port pickup, and an air-conditioned vehicle. Visit Victoria Market, a Hindu temple, Mission Lodge, the tea factory, Sauzier Waterfall, and Port Launay beach. Guides such as James and Elliot have adjusted routes for older guests and cruise schedules.

“I originally booked after-noon tour, but I was informed we will be picked up in the morning. Transport van and driver/guide were really good, but we did not have time to visit all the listed attractions, but still it was enough (visited Mission Lodge, Grand Anse beach, Takamaka rum destilery, Jardin du Roi spice garden for lunch). I would recommend full-day tour if available.”
