Everything went great; in fact, I was alone on the tour, and thanks to Lenochka, she did it for me without refusing anything. The apartments in which I lived are wonderful, 2 minutes from the sea, near a supermarket, an exchange and others. The apartments have everything you need, an equipped kitchen, a washing machine and ironing facilities. Yes, our tour was a bit different from the program described on the website, but in general, I watched everything and even more. Mauritius 🇲🇺 is beautiful, gorgeous beaches, nice weather, delicious food and friendly people. Thanks to Lena for organizing a whale encounter and a helicopter flight. And in general, I would miss the company, without her and Johnson 😂. Lena, thanks for the tour, nice to meet you and see you soon ❤️
It all went just fine. Elena is an excellent travel expert. He explains and shows everything in detail. I got a lot of interesting emotions, met good people and the island. Thanks to Elena, I learned a lot of new things and got to know real Mauritian life. If you want eternal summer and eternal spring in your heart, you should definitely visit Mauritius and better with this program! Thanks.
She visited Mauritius from March 14 to March 22. I am very glad that, thanks to my drastically changed vacation plans, I found myself in this amazing place and for getting to know Elena! Mauritius is great. I liked literally everything! The lush greenery of national parks, the variety of wildlife on land and under water), wonderful white sand beaches, the hospitality of local residents. I liked the accommodation conditions very much! It is impossible not to single out a whale ride separately! It seems that this can only happen in Mauritius! These are rare experiences and emotions that take your breath away and that you will remember for a lifetime. And, of course, without our “hostess” of the trip, without our guide Elena, acquaintance with the island would not have been so comfortable, warm, soulful, and truly enchanting! . I would also like to note that my flight was through Dubai Airport and went absolutely smoothly and according to plan both towards Mauritius from Moscow and back...

Mauritius is a paradise! ❤️ I am immensely grateful for this opportunity to visit this island and see all the beauty with my own eyes! Thank you very much to Elena for organizing, meeting, conducting, completing the entire program and helping me book an apartment for extra days) And thank you so much for making my dream come true - swimming with whales is a moment that I will remember when I old age with a big smile! 💫☺️
A trip to Mauritius is something special. The people here are kind, simple and creative, so you feel really welcome.

On this tour, you'll see the island not like regular tourists, but like true adventurers. If plastic tours are not for you, it is important for you to experience wildlife, local flavor, everyday life and real emotions — go ahead.

* Amazing flora and fauna: colorful flowers, rare birds and big animals within arm's reach.
* The infrastructure is quite comfortable if you know where you are going.) You can always discuss with Lena in advance the level of your claims. The food here is delicious and varied, and the prices are in Moscow. The beaches are gorgeous, snow-white and warm. Top roads.
* The main thing is to be prepared for changes in plans and weather. You can't schedule your schedule here for the week ahead, sometimes even for a day. It's better to trust your guide — she knows everything, and these tips were definitely out of the air; I personally did not find cheaper and better options. Other options were much more expensive and without guarantees.
* Be sure to go to the whales: it's an indescribable feeling to feel part of the pristine and the great.
* It is mandatory to feed the giraffe: this will be one of the most touching moments.
* Be sure to go to the mountains and see the waterfalls: it's breathtaking there. Literally if you want to. (There's plenty to fly on.)
* Sing, dance, chat with people — if you wish. But without this, you can't understand the island)
* Time with Lena: thanks to her, you will see Mauritius not as a tourist, but very lively, interesting and without filters.
In addition, I would like to note:
* Don't fuss over details, enjoy every moment, appreciate every meeting and every look. Sometimes it's better to skip a template activity, because miracles happen along the way.
* Hurry up, perhaps, when booking helicopters, as this is a difficult event.
* And most importantly, don't set strict expectations. A trip here is always a surprise, and that's what makes it so special. Be prepared for a sudden change in plans for the day during your morning coffee.
* Sterility and predictability await you only in hotels. They're really gorgeous here. Beyond — trust your senses and rhythms.
I returned from an unforgettable private tour to Mauritius (January 10-18). Special thanks to guide Lena for her efficiency and care! When I got burned, she immediately rearranged the program to a more gentle mode, and everything was done according to plan.

Important tip: book seaplane flights and whale sailing in advance because of the weather and hype, you may not be in time.

The island enchanted! Friendly people, pristine beaches with white sand and azure waters, amazing nature. And meeting whales is just magic. I highly recommend both the tour and the paradise island itself!
Was on tour with Lena this year
A lot of emotions, smiles, laughter and impressions
Mauritius is wonderful, Lena is no less wonderful
The trip was very fun, heartfelt and easy. Yes, Mauritius is not about everything by the minute and according to a schedule, but it has a different rhythm and order of life, but our guide Elena has always solved our problems (whoever had them) and always organized everything we asked for. It was probably not clear in the early days why everything was not on schedule and there was no specific plan, but after a few days everything became clear: there was no need to strain yourself, everything will happen, they will do everything and there is no need to control how))) In general, when you let go of the situation, everything is fine.
In short, I highly recommend Mauritius and the tour with Elena.
The apartment has a very good location in the western part of the island on Flick & Flak Beach: the entire upper floor and roof are at your disposal, as well as the pool and barbecue grill. The beach is across the street. There is a post office, a police station and a lot of different restaurants nearby. In the evening, you can listen to live music, dance and have a delicious meal.
I highly recommend taking excursions through Elena. She always found the best deals at a good price. Later I talked to other guys who were in Mauritius at the same time: their additional activities were either much more expensive or not very successful (for example, not everyone finds whales on whale tours, unlike Elena's team)
That's really cool. Thanks to Lenochka. It's a miracle, it's just a miracle. Mauritius is beautiful, but you wouldn't even understand half of it without Lena.
