We did the Whale and Dolphin tour and swam with Dolphins 4 times and saw 6 Sperm Whales. It was incredible.

Relax Max war sehr zuverlässig und ich habe Delphine und Wale gesehen. Die haben auch noch auf gespätete Kunden gewartet. Ich fand, dass sehr freundlich. Ich war hin und weg als ich die Wale aus der Nähe gesehen habe. Relax Max ist wirklich empfehlenswert.

What a fab day. The venue is so well organised. The staff are welcoming and explain everything very well. We chose the 6 zip line adventure trip and a quad bike double discovery tour. Both were fabulous and we both felt safe, informed and didn’t have to queue. We had great fun and then ended up using the cafe and it was clean and nice. Would do again!

We did choose DOLPHIN AND WHALE ENCOUNTER. Excellent experience altogether! Did see lots of delphins and whales. The tour operator wisely suggested a change of date due to weather forecasts (wind conditions). That made sure we had great a half day at sea. One might note that few drops of water might occur, since it is an ocean we are dealing with. Warmly recommend.

    Thank you very much for organizing the whale and dolphin watching trip for my clients, including the hotel transfer.
    They were absolutely delighted with the experience and came back with a lot of wonderful emotions and unforgettable memories. Everything was perfectly planned and organized, and they truly enjoyed the trip!

    Had an amazing Mauritius trip with Relax Max. Everything was super smooth – airport transfers, intercity hotel moves, and drop back. Loved the South Tour Valle package, dolphin experience and Casela Nature Park adventures. Perfect way to celebrate wife’s birthday & our anniversary with the kids. Big thanks to Relax Max for making it hassle‑free and memorable.

    Expérience incroyable à l’île Maurice, au départ de Flic en Flac ! 🌊
    Observer et nager avec les dauphins était magique, le snorkeling derrière la barrière de corail magnifique, et le passage au Crystal Rock juste spectaculaire.

    Le barbecue sur l’île aux Bénitiers était délicieux, et surtout un grand merci à l’équipage : un personnel au top, professionnel et très chaleureux.

    Je recommande vivement !
