Been looking for your video for ages, we were staying in la gaulette and I kept saying this couple just wandered down to the jetty and got a rando boat across. We did just that and met Beb (Bernard) and went over after the tourists had gone home. He waited at the bar whilst we snorkelled and he was pointing everything out to us on the trip, it was awesome and Beb is such a nice fella. Loved la gaulette, will go back

[@ZoeandSimon]

That's nice to hear, sounds like you had a great time!

[@suayhughes8103]

So beautiful island. Enjoy your day

[@ZoeandSimon]

Hope you also have a nice day! 😊

[@philwebster3914]

Another great video guys, nice choice on the snorkel colour Simon 😂

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thanks a lot! Yeah I think I'm gonna keep it 😁

[@aVeryHazeCoition]

What a great idea to ask some locals instead of going on one of these group tours!! 👏🏼

[@viktorhamataj]

Hi guys lovely videos 😊 If you could tell me what month have you recorded this video because l'm planning to go in October and I don't know how the weather gonna be there? Thank you.

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thank you! This was in December 😊

[@noaheyn6878]

Hello Hello 😍 Very enjoyable episode today ❤ also talented 👌 See you soon 🌷🌷 Zoe & Simon 👋👋

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@fj2400]

Hi guys, love the video. Could you please let me know where you went to catch the boat from and how long the boat journey was please? Many thanks xxxx

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thank you! 😊 We asked the people at the dock in La Gaulette and they called the guy with the boat. You can find the dock next to the restaurant called "Liverpool Snack". We paid 1500 Rs for the trip, but the price may vary a bit depending on the conversion rate and who you are talking to 😁

[@fj2400]

@@ZoeandSimon aww thanks so much for replying, how long was the boat journey? Also love you both and your content 💗xxxx

[@fj2400]

But wanted to just check journey time as also have a little baby

[@ZoeandSimon]

The journey took around 2 hours 😊

[@fj2400]

@@ZoeandSimon thanks so much guys xxx took your advice and just did it this way with husband and baby. Had to really haggle and also had to negotiate a better boat for us as we have the baby, took us a while but we managed to do it and asked the captain for a quieter spot. We didn't spend too long on the island again due to the baby, but it was stunning. More beautiful than ile aux cerf. Did you manage to see this island whilst you were in Mauritius? As wanted to see what you thought of this one too? Lots and lots of love to you both xxxx also will be flying back to London tomorrow. So your prompt responses really helped and allowed us to do the boat journey this way today without having to do a long day of an excursion xxxxthanks again guys

[@riazackerdien3856]

Great video 😊 what apartment did you stay at in flic en Flac? Looks good

[@ZoeandSimon]

Hi, thank you! 😊 The apartment we stayed at is called "5 star Smart studio 30m2" and you can find it on Airbnb. The location is pretty good but overall we can't really recommend it, as we did have some issues with it being quite hot and damp inside the apartment 😅

[@dennispratt3344]

What country do you guys come from? you speak good French! thanks coming in october for one month

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thank you, we're both from Germany 🙂 We only know very basic French, but we try to at least get close to the correct pronounciation 😁 Hope you have a great time on Mauritius!

[@dennispratt3344]

@ZoeandSimon and of course

[@John-rj1ss]

Hi Both.. can you share some info about car rentals in Mauritius

[@ZoeandSimon]

Hi! We booked our car via a German rental car comparison site. We like these sites because they compare all offers and also take care of extra insurance. The rental company that we ended up going with is called "First Car" rental and everything went smoothly. We paid 48€/day incl. comprehensive insurance. We also summarised some infos and our route and accommodations on our website: www.zoeandsimon.io/itineraries/the-ultimate-3-week-mauritius-road-trip-itinerary Hope that helps and that you have a great time on Mauritius! 🙂

[@Terra_Incognita201]

32 Euros pd.

[@bobrice3957]

If you stay in a local hotel villa there is always a local entrepreneur whose prices are usually lower. Not the most modern or fast but then you're in Mauritius so chill. 😅

[@SxmurxiJCz]

Rs1500 not a bad price. Some skippers will charge upto Rs1000-Rs1200p/p or more if you’re tourists

[@ZoeandSimon]

That's good to know, thank you! 🙂

[@christianbuchberger1582]

Price was not to high to go ile aux benitier, locals pay almost the same for bringing and picking up

[@ZoeandSimon]

Good to know thank you! 🙂

[@Terra_Incognita201]

exactly true

[@skippyjonjones0079]

Rs1500 is actually cheap, and im from Mauritius

[@ZoeandSimon]

That's good to know thanks! 🙂

[@Terra_Incognita201]

thats the normal rate, but luckily they even went for the snorkel spot and that is because they had an additional payer coming along

[@christianbuchberger1582]

Let me know in case you come again the next 2 years, would bring you on places where no tourists can go, or ever been

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thabks for the offer, that's very nice! 😊

[@nickowent]

We are going this year September... 😅
