We are bird watchers and general nature lovers here in the UK so it was great to experience the nature in Mauritius. Our guide was very informative and looked after us extremely well (we are both in our mid seventies although reasonably fit). Anyone contemplating taking this excursion, particularly those of advanced years, should be aware that it involves a tough walk through the forest.

Joanna was our guide and she was wonderful, very knowledgeable and took our safety seriously with it being quite slippy on some of the trails. The birds we saw were nothing short of astonishing and the view and food from Sublime Point was well worth the walk. I would recommend bringing a raincoat as we were asked to buy one there (that we didn’t end up needing!) and bring bug repellent, lots of mosquitoes!!

Saknade en guide över vilka fåglar vi kunde ha sett och såg. Fanns endast i början. Mycket bra annars. Blev ett träningspass.

Der Ausflug war gut. Man sollte aber wissen, dass man diese Tour nicht wegen der Wanderung buchen sollte. Vor allem die erste Stunde sind wir ein paar Minuten gelaufen und haben dann angehalten um Vögel zu beobachten. Das Museum ist klein aber fein! Man lernt viel über Mauritius und auch über die Flora/Fauna.

Did not enjoy this very much taxi driver who picked us up & returned us was fantastic but as for the guide at the forest just needs a lot more enthusiasm in him sad thing is he was a lovely lad . Got a few wildlife photos but not as much as I would of liked maybe wrong time of year
