    Do NOT waste your money booking with this company
    2 of us booked and paid 150 euro for the 4.5 hour/Half Day Guided Tour of La Digue Without Lunch (Minimum 2 Persons) (inc Union Estate Entrance Fees) and were asked to meet the guide at the end of pier in the Mahe town centre at 9.30am. We waited for over half an hour but no one showed up. The local tourist info office phoned Vision who advised that they sent someone at 07:30am !! However, they said that they would send another guide who duly arrived. The further issues that we faced were - * this 'guide' spoke very limited english * he was NOT a guide. * he was a taxi driver who spent a lot of time negotiating prices with other tourists along the way (wasting our time) and he only charged others US$10 per person to go to the same places that we were taken !! * We were simply driven to two beaches and left to our own devices - certainly no guiding given. * We had to insist on stopping at the tortoise park & vanilla plantations to quickly take photos * No explanations or tour provided - certainly not guided! * we did not get taken to all of the places that were listed * we were taken back to town & told to get out after 2hrs 45mins * No refund offered We were not just disappointed, but quite angry at not getting what we had paid for and also the way we were treated. We spoke with the manager who was not at all interested in providing better customer service.

    Defeated by the weather but smooth customer experience
    We booked the reef safari but the weather was against us. However, communication around pick up and cancellation was prompt and communication around rebooking was good. This was also defeated by the weather and the final refund was processed quickly without issue. You find out how good customer service is when things go wrong and they managed issues beyond their control well.

    0 stars if I could
    The bus or van never showed up to get us. I was really looking forward to going. We tried calling and so did our resort but no one answered. I got refunded though. I do not recommend this excursion. I never got a response as to why no one showed to get us either.

    Nice trip
    Great service and ride from island to island. We purchased our tickets online, handed in our printed copies and got our tickets. Boarding was orderly and the boat left in time. Can’t ask for anything more.

    Lost my refund due to operator Overbooking the tour
    The driver/guide called me at 19:10 on the night before our Vallee De Mai experience and moved the time by 3 hours later, leaving us with no option but to cancel the experience as we had a full itinerary booked on that day. We are very disappointed and upset because the operator gave us less than 13 hours notice to change our plans. This company requires the customer to give 24 hours cancellation notification for a full refund and yet they think it’s fine for them to make last minute changes. So now we have lost our full payment which we booked a few months ago and also missed out on the Famous Vallee De Mai!!

    Excellent service no more part of experience
    We have used Cat Coco for the past 10 yrs when travelling from Mahe to La Digue. The service in the pre-Covid 19 period was superb and exemplary on every level especially in the business class Lazio Lounge. The attendants were engaged, well-trained, and extremely helpful. Small snacks and beverages were served that made the one-hour journey pleasant. This time, in the post Covid-19 period, it cannot be described the same as excellent or exceptional as it was certainly not. There is limited staff presence, no beverages or snacks offered, and passengers with sea motion illness were not helped at all. Various thoughts come to mind as to whether the owners have a captivated passenger population, and therefore service does not matter anymore. Staff, when present tried, but they were not coping at all. Hopefully, this is a once-off experience, and future improvements will follow.

    Jungle hike
    Jose, my guide was very knowledgable on the Valle de Mai forrest trail. I learnt a lot about the palm trees and their history etc. I do think given the small area of this pkace maybe rour should no charge as much of a fee.

    Cat Cocos steals our money! NO REPLY! NO TICKETS! NO MONEY! Never again. We made a ferry reservation, received a confirmation, but without any tickets! After contacting with their office, we haven't received any more information... and tickets.

    Fantastic Tour
    We would thoroughly recommend this tour! The atmosphere throughout was fantastic, thanks to the entertaining guides, and it was a great way to see some of the ocean wildlife, as well as visit another island. The glass hulled ‘semi submersible’ lets you see beneath the waves, although at this time of year (July) the water is quite hazy. There is an opportunity to snorkel then time to relax on the beach. The island you visit even has giant tortoises roaming around freely!

    Fantastic Tour
    This was a fantastic tour, well worth the money and a great way to see the other islands, without having to worry about transportation. The guides were excellent - both informative and entertaining - plus the lunch served was also good. Would thoroughly recommend. Unfortunately the weather turned on the way back, so the crossing back to Mahé was rather bumpy - take sea sickness pills!

    Not to be missed!
    Very good & punctual service; Jose, our driver, was very knowledgable and has a great sense of humour; a great day ou ton Praslin. Anse Lazio was the highlight! The vehilce provided was spacious and in very good condition - very clean! Unfortunatley 2 of our family members had to cancel their travel plans at the 11th hour because of a medical emergency in the family. Vision Voyages refunded their share of payment without us having to ask for it. The staff dealt with us cery professionally. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour with Vision Voyages.

    Trip was ok, I liked it. The guide was very friendly,but I think that time we spent in park was too short and we were on Anse Lazio beach too but it was to long time there for me. I would rather stay longer in Valee de mai

    Crap
    Horrible, rude and lied to us, as well as laughing in our face. Use the other company. Said we couldn't bring our bikes because they were not our own bikes and they needed to protect the bike rental on La Digue. What about the bars and restaurants who also lost our custom, probably five times the amount as a bike rental. Also stated that if they were our bikes, they would charge us to take them on anyway. I said "presumably this gets passed onto the bike rental companies in la digue?" The silence was deafening.

We booked the tickets on their website, even the transport from the airport to the jetty (10€p.p.) and everything went easy. Strong air-con inside, I had to cover myself :D
Since the weather was good, not wavy at all, we had a very nice sail.

We got the 16:30 ferry to Praslin to Mahe. You have to go to the ticket office first to drop off your bags which we did and went very smoothly.
The boarded started 30 minutes before departure and for business there is a priority queue so there were no queueing for us.
The rest of the passengers seem to board smoothly as well.
The ferry left on time and there were no delays.
The business class is upstairs inside and the seats are very comfy. The ac did smell a bit musty but not to the point of effecting the overall experience.
The weather was sunny and according to the sea forecast there were only 1.1 meters wave height and it felt just fine for me. I am from Greece and I have travelled in rough seas so this was nothing for me. Do note though that these ferries do rock a lot even on slight seas so if you get sea sick easily this might not be the best option for you.
The ferry arrived in Praslin on time and the off loading of the luggage was not chaotic at all like other reviews mention. The staff courteously off loaded one bag at the time and went into the effort of allocating the owner of each luggage.
I will use again.

First of all, can I just say that the staff were incredible and I have no complaints whatsoever with how they handled things on the boat trip.

HOWEVER. Please please please read through the reviews before booking your trip. I cannot emphasise enough just how frightening this trip is in rough seas. We had 3.5m high waves and it was by far the scariest experience of my life.

The boat smashes about and at least 50% of passengers were throwing up. You can’t stand up at any point because it’s so rocky, and the staff have to run at you with bags.

The boat will throw you about. It will be terrifying and you will be sick UNLESS you are an experienced sea traveller and/or a fan of rollercoasters.

We ended up getting a flight back from Praslin to Mahe, it took 15 minutes and was definitely worth the price

The staff inside the catamaran are really rude and very young to hold this responsibility! We had a really bad experience with these kids, they have an issue with communication with the customers. It is not right to say bad stuff for clients on board after the departure of the boat! If I knew they are rude kids, I would have booked a private fast boat instead of staying more than one hour on a boat with very unreliable staff. I am sorry to say that, but this will be my last time on board with this company!

I bought the tickets online few weeks before the trip and with a printed confirmation we got our tickets at the Mahe office (for both trips, from and to Mahe). The tickets were for the economy lower deck. Advise to be at the ferry minimum 30 min before departure, ideally 45 mins.
The embarkment was quick with no hassle. The Cat Cocos team is quick (and gentle) with the luggage. The ride was 1 hour and comfortable, as the AC was working and the sea was calm.

Just a note that I wish I had looked at reviews before booking this ferry from Mahe to praslin/la digue. It was a big mistake for my family with small kids and ruined the day as all kids got sea sick. We couldn’t face taking the ferry again and had to book flights to return to Mahe. The company also has unreasonable policies around refunds. I would have booked flights instead had I read reviews before booking the ferry.

This is a nice fast ride to Praslin. The company was very good and followed all safety protocols. Seeing the flying fish made the trip that much better. If you want to stay cool pay for the inside tickets. If you take the upper deck make sure you sitting away from the sun.

I took a trip some times in 2011 during my 10 days staying in Seychelles. The journeys were very nice and enjoyable even in a tough stormy days. The staff was kind and helpful, the chair was comfortable. I would like to return there one day in my feature.

The staff were lovely & the crossing is speedy BUT - myself & at least 10 more passengers vomited into the hastily supplied sick bags by the staff!! They are clearly used to this been a regular occurrence. It’s like a rollercoaster for an hour. Honestly would never want to do it again.

I don’t know what everybody is complaining about but if you get seasick here you get seasock in your own bathtub. It was perfect! Service was good, there is enough staff and they all help you on your way. There was plenty of room on the boat even it was fully booked! Cat Cocos, you were great! Thank you!
