Fantastic Half-Day Tour with Summer Cruises Mauritius
We had an absolutely fantastic half-day excursion today with Summer Cruises Mauritius. We booked a private four-hour tour for our family of ten, departing directly from the beach at our hotel (Shandrani) at 9:30am, and it truly exceeded expectations.
Our guide, Dominique, was exceptional — knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about both Mauritius and the ocean. What stood out most was his genuine respect for marine life and the environment, which added so much meaning to the experience.
During the trip we were lucky enough to see dolphins, turtles (yes — turtles twice!), monkeys, a beautiful waterfall, and a stunning island stop that felt like something from a postcard. We also visited an area where coral is being restored and replanted to encourage new growth, which was fascinating and inspiring to see, especially given how much coral has sadly been lost. Dominique explained everything with care and real insight.
The sea conditions were calm and comfortable thanks to the protective reef surrounding much of Mauritius, making the trip enjoyable and relaxed for everyone in our group.
This was a truly memorable experience and I would 100% recommend Summer Cruises Mauritius — especially if you are considering a private hire with family or friends. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

A big thank you to our captain Dominique. We had a great trip yesterday with an eight-year-old and a six-month-old baby. We enjoyed the reefs, saw dolphins, turtles. I recommend it.

Vår båtguide, Dominique, gav oss en underbar dag på havet. Fick se många sevärdigheter och fick mycket information om Mauritius. Definitivt värt att prova.

Oliver hat uns nicht zuviel versprochen: es war ein wunderschöner Tag im Paradies Mauritius. Unser Trip startete im Hotel Shandrani Beachcomber (wir waren nur zu zweit). Wir wurden von Kapitän Dominique abgeholt und er hat uns einen wundervollen Tag kreiert: ein sehr sympathischer und flexibler Mann, mit dem wir uns sehr gut unterhalten haben und der uns zu wunderschönen einsamen Schnorchelspots brachte. Wir hatten Lunch auf einer kleinen Insel und wurden dort auch sehr gut bewirtet. Wir können diesen Trip nur wärmstens empfehlen!!!

It’s our second year doing Oliver’s boat cruise. Both times we had a different skipper but every time they’ve been amazing. This time we had Captain Ryan that seriously made the trip special. You can see he loves being on the water and being with people. He played us amazing music, made us delicious cocktails and was just super fun as a tour guide and captain! I’ve tried other operators on the island and honestly don’t waste your time. Oliver delivers once in a lifetime trips every single time!

Au top, excellente journée.
Équipage sympa, bienveillant, souriant.
Déjeuner sur l'île de l'Est parfait (Repas boissons environnement et ambiance).
Parcours intéressant (barrière de corail, phare, cascade) mais faune sous marine assez pauvre (du moins ce jour là).
Ile aux cerfs pas exceptionnelle.

Shared boat for day in the lagoon, price, departure from Shandrani
Shared boat for the day in the lagoon to deer island, but it didn't bother us, on the contrary, and they call on the Aquasoleil boats (thanks to Captain Ryan, super funny and nice guy), based at Shandrani at the end of the airport runways. If you are a guest of this hotel, so without a taxi to take, the rate is very competitive (we paid 70€/pers in Nov25, single meal included). Oliver is there in the morning on the beach, outside the breakfast buffet, to sell his excursions.Small speedboat very fast, however!!! postpone the excursion if the weather is uncertain because the stinging rain at high speed is funny, certainly, but we were very very cold! And the lagoon under the clouds is less beautiful! So pay attention to that! And protect yourself from the sun, but they remind you on their website. Simple meals but well, drinks included; quite a lot of people at some stops. But overall, nice outing to do!

Fantastic boat trip
We did a half day private boat trip including (alcoholic) drinks. What a kindness man the skipper was, Dominique! He is really a top performer, helpful and knows a lot to tell. He also creates a relaxed atmosphere. There is no rush for time and we could more or less indicate what we wanted to do ourselves. Highly recommended to do a boat trip with them!

Super day trip
We booked a private boat trip with Summer Wings. We can recommend our captain Dominique at any time. Very sympathetic and warm he led us through this day. He always guided us from the crowd, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you for this unforgettable day. Best regards Daniela & Patrik

Great time spent with Adriano! We left for half a day from the Shandrani Beachcomber. On the program: discover the history of the Dalblair wreck, take a swim at Île aux Aigrettes, pass through the Grande Rivière Sud-Est waterfall, then stop at Île aux Cerfs.The boat was great, music, drinks, and a great Mood on board. A big thank you to Adriano who was very caring throughout the tour — we loved it, and so did the kids!

Loved the experience with an awesome guide
From our first interaction with Oliver to our trip with Dominic what a pleasure. The trip itself was fabulous, Dominic was a good host with a good sense of humor and he created a good vibe. He made sure we were informed the whole time about the trip, interesting spots and what we could do and when. Loved loved loved the dolphins! I would definitely go with them again. Thank you, Oliver, for a well put together experience and well trained team.

Wonderful half day family trip
Private boat for our family, luxuriously padded seats and very clean. We took 3 teens and a 5 year old and was perfect. Half day tour 9am-1pm, for a very reasonable price, our captain Julian made it engaging, safe and fun for our family. He was knowledgeable about local information, such as when we passed a sea bass farm and a shipwreck. We really enjoyed stopping at iles aux Cerfs for parasailing, seeing the monkeys by the waterfall and of course sampling a bit of local rum!Oliver (the sales manager on the beach) showed us photos of what to expect and the actual experience met the expectations. Very friendly and still says hi to us every day when he sees us. We loved that we were picked up from the beachfront of shandrani so no transfer required, and the hotel provided a picnic basket and soft drinks for the day free of charge. Thank you Oliver and Julian for a memorable experience

Unforgettable boat trip
Beautiful outing with Summer wings from the Shandrani to Blue Bay. Dominique, our captain, explained everything during our excursion and listened to our needs. Very nice, too. The boat is beautiful, very comfortable and much more modern than many of the boats we met. We also had unlimited drinks. In short, you can trust them. Oliver, the manager perfectly briefed us on the various services offered at more than reasonable prices for a privatized boat. The landscapes and places visited will remain one of the best moments of the stay.
