FAQ

Questions, answered.

Everything you might want to know before designing your tailor-made Indian Ocean journey with us.

— Still wondering?

Talk to a real person on the islands.

01 How much does a tailor-made trip cost?
There's no fixed price — every itinerary is built around your dates, your accommodation style, your experiences and your group size. We design quotes from authentic boutique stays to ultra-luxury escapes. Share your envelope with us and we'll show you what's possible within it.
02 How long does it take to get a proposal?
Most personalised proposals are sent within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your brief. Complex multi-island journeys may take a little longer — your dedicated consultant always keeps you updated.
03 Can I modify the itinerary after the first proposal?
Absolutely — that's the whole point. We refine the itinerary together until every detail feels right: pace, hotels, experiences, transfers. As many rounds as you need, until you're happy.
04 Do you book international flights?
We focus on ground operations and inter-island flights across the Indian Ocean, where our local expertise makes a real difference. We can advise on international flights, but typically leave international ticketing to your usual carrier or travel agent.
05 Is there a deposit, and what are the cancellation terms?
A confirmation deposit is required to secure hotels and services. The exact amount and cancellation policy depend on each supplier — every quote includes a clear, transparent breakdown of terms before you confirm anything.
06 What happens if something goes wrong during the trip?
You'll have a 24/7 local emergency line throughout your stay. Real people on the ground in Mauritius, with direct contacts on every island — flight delay, weather change, last-minute switch, we handle it.
07 In which languages can we communicate?
Our team handles every step in English, French and Creole. Other languages — Italian, German, Spanish, Korean — are available on request.
08 How far in advance should I plan my trip?
Ideally 3 to 6 months ahead for high season (December–March, July–August) to secure the best hotels and rates. We also design last-minute itineraries when our partners have availability — get in touch even on short notice.
