[@333halfangel3]

How do i get in touch with you?

[@NAAKHAN]

Hey amazing video! Can you share who you booked the tour from?

[@R.Ashraf_KayakFishing]

Nice video if u still around grand baie check out a cool resto called chez coolen its on the costal road nice place for seafood

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thanks for the recommendation, we'll have to check that out next time! 🙂

[@fiona5700]

So cool! Traveling to Mauritius in less than 3 weeks. Where did you do the dolphin swim trip?

[@ZoeandSimon]

You can book these kind of dolphin trips in many places along the west coast, although they will often go more towards the south of the coast. We booked our trip through our guest house in Trou-aux-Biches, for example.

[@fiona5700]

Perfect. We are near Trou-aux-biches as well 😊

[@Ashley-se7qx]

Try Coden beach for snorkelling its the 2nd marine park on the island

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thanks for the tip! 😊

[@aufstiegundfall]

Here's an idiosyncratic fun fact about me: despite looking like a French macaron praised by many Mauritians as being a subtle delicacy, I would never trade a Mauritian Napolitaine for a macaron. Tarte banane and Puit d'amour are also awesome BTW, land erosion is appalling @5:34

[@ZoeandSimon]

We love both! They might look a bit similar, but we don't think they can really be compared. Macarons are probably more complex and delicate and we really like trying the variety of flavours. But Napolitaines are also so good because of their buttery shortbread taste! 😊

[@RebeccaSarahNayagam-fv9xq]

Hi! Just wondering if you still have the contact with your boatman, we went today but unfortunately there were so many other boats and not a lot of dolphins. We suspect they must have been scared off by the boats! Perhaps your guide knows where to go so that it isn’t too crowded?

[@ZoeandSimon]

Oh, that's too bad! The owner of our guesthouse called "Easy Stay Residence" in Trou-aux-Biches had organised our tour. But as it's been two years we're not sure if they're still offering them or if they have better info unfortunately.

[@ashleawhite6840]

Can you tell me if the snorkelling in Mauritius is amazing? Is there lots of tropic fish?

[@ZoeandSimon]

We're not the best judge of that unfortunately as we didn't go on many snorkelling tours when we were there. We did go snorkelling at Blue Bay in the south-east of the island and that was nice! We've also heard that you can go on nice snorkelling trips on the east coast. From what we've seen we probably wouldn't visit Mauritius only to go snorkelling, but if you're there already you can definitely find some nice spots - especially if you're going on a boat tour.

[@markpurda]

My sister and I are flying from Vienna this weekend and Inwas wondering these prices in restaurants are for 1 person (9.90€) or 2 people? Aand anything else u recommend? I love ur videos!

[@tanushreedevi9614]

Where to buy those tent? Please send the link

[@ZoeandSimon]

It's called "Fatboy Miasun" and we bought it on Amazon Germany. We wrote a short product review on it on our website, which you can find here (it also has a link to Amazon so you can check if it's available in your region): www.zoeandsimon.io/reviews/the-best-sun-protection-for-the-beach-that-isnt-an-umbrella-fatboy-miasun Hope that helps! 🙂

[@Maaz-b4q]

Love you zoe❤❤❤

[@BaratiBogi]

Great videos, quality materials. More and more challenging to find REAL quality travel vlogs since everything is full with “influencers” who rather show their bikinis instead of the location :D … I am just about to organize our trip to Mauritius, your videos are helping a lot :) thanks!

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thanks a lot for the kind words, we're glad our videos were helpful! 😊 Hope you have a great time on Mauritius and let us know if you have any questions 🙂

[@ZoeandSimon]

By the way, we've also got an overview of our route and stops on this road trip on our website www.zoeandsimon.io (under itineraries) 🙂

[@bossssss]

I really really really want napolitain now

[@ZoeandSimon]

We can understand that! 😁

[@eliska8870]

Hello Zoe, I love your videos but please please don't swim with dolphins. They are feeding themselves at night and sleep during the day. Even though it may look like they are awake they are not, they have to "swim" during sleep as well. Based on your video they were sleeping and you woke them up. This will cause stress and less energy for feeding. Imagine being woken up every night by boats and tourists.. Please please don't advertise this experience. And let them sleep.
