Superb trip with just 3 couples, so plenty of space and very relaxed. Captain and his mate knew the best area to seek the whales. We were privileged to observe 3 humpbacks, including mother and calf. Absolutely amazing and a lifetime memory. Highly recommend this crew who kept a respectful distance from the whales.
We have been to Mauritius many times and debated whether it was time to go somewhere else or if we did visit then maybe a different hotel to LUX Grand Gaube where we have stayed many times. However we love the Island and it's people and we have always had an amazing experience at LUX GG so we decided to return again. Absolutely the right decision! All the staff at the hotel are wonderful, welcoming and so friendly and it is very difficult to single out individuals but the people who made our stay exceptional were: Ashwin and Ashwan in Palm Court and Creole Smoke Hse who went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful experience at every meal. We were similarly looked after in Beach Rouge by Nund, Akshaye and Pergum. Not forgetting Bodrum where we had exceptional service from Durgesh. In INTI Yasser was the perfect host with attention to detail. Diron was always on hand to ensure we had no issues and were really enjoying our holiday. Chef Deepuck cooked superb meals and it's no surprise we both put on the weight! In the bar the cocktails were amazing made mainly by Kevish and Yovan. On the beach, were we spent most of the day, we were looked after brilliantly by the ''man in the hat'' Reedoo, supported by Anoop and Veer and in the adult area by Kumar. All of whom make delicious milkshakes. Pravesh, our room boy, made incredible towel sculptures and kept our room very clean. And last but not least our thanks to Elena at reception for her understanding and efficiency. Overall LUX GG constantly delivers a wonderful experience and the staff always make it so special.
We met a mother whale and her baby. Because family is the most important GIFT!!! Thank you and enjoy Mauritius
With min hopes of watching whale at the end of the season we were actually stunned to see these majestic beauty 3 times in this trip. 1st time there were 5 of them together. Vic and sydney helped us to see more. Really must try experience.
Bumpy rides in a small boat but very comfortable. Unfortunate weather...raining. It was very fun experience..we felt like we are on expedition ....fun
