You'll head to Blue-Bay Marine park for snorkeling. Sea lovers will enjoy this trip to the marine park. Sit in your boat and depart for the reefs while feeling the cool day breeze brushing against your skin. Take in the beauty of the surroundings while gazing at the underwater world while snorkeling. You will then stop in the middle of the marine park and get to snorkel and discover the magical world of the reefs.

At an average depth of 5.5 meters, with crystal clear water offering great visibility, the snorkeling conditions are ideal. You will have a great view of the reef, fish, and a large selection of corals (there are more than 50 different species of corals at the park!).

The Blue Bay Marine Park is home to mangroves, algae, sea grasses, corals, and other marine organisms. There is also a wide variety of fish species that include Damselfish, Surgeonfish, Butterfly fish, juvenile Sailfin tangs, as well as tiny Pipefish and large Trumpet fish.

3

Our first stop will be at the shipwreck of Alblair on the coral reef of Pointe d'Esny.

Here since 1902 it has a controversial history that you will discover during our trip! The story of the Dalblair is another unfortunate shipwreck that occurred in 1902.

4

Following the visit to the shipwreck, you'll head to Ile Aux Aigrette Island, where you will enjoy a cocktail and have the chance to swim in the crystal clear lagoon of Ile Aux Aigrettes. You will enjoy a natural swimming pool with plenty of starfishes.

5

Afterwards we will bring you to visit the lighthouse Island – Ile aux Phare, where you will have time to visit the ancient lighthouse ruin or time to walk around the island.

L'Île aux Fouquets also known as L’île aux Phare (Phare Island) is a small rocky island of the Grand Port Bay. The Island was significant during the Battle of Grand Port, between the French and the British. Its lighthouse, which was built in 1864 to guide ships to the port of Mahebourg, has defied centuries and still stands with all its majesty.

6

Ile de la Passe is a small but very significant islet off the southeast coast of Mauritius. During the colonial era, the islet was a key factor in the defense of Mauritius where the French and British inhabitants built defenses on Ile de la Passe. Today the ruins of these defences, dating back two and a half centuries, are still present.

An ideal site for a fascinating day trip, Ile de la Passe offers stunning views of the mainland and the turquoise sea as well as historic ruins of the defenses which will give you an insight on the battles that took place there, including the legendary Battle of Vieux Grand Port which is commemorated by an inscription on the Arc De Triomphe in Paris.

You can spend a pleasant day walking through the ruins of the ancient French defense and awing at them.

7

While cruising, we will pass by the Ilot Vacoas.

8

Once embarked, you will head to Ile aux Flamands, a small island of white sand in the middle of the crystal clear lagoon. You will spend about 30 magical minutes here.
After a snorkeling session in the turquoise waters of the lagoon, you will be heading to Ile aux Cerfs

9

As part of your cruise, you will also get to visit the Grand River South-East Waterfalls. The GRSE waterfall is an exceptional place where land and sea merge. The speed boat will sail along the waterfalls’ canal for a beautiful view of the Grand River South East Waterfalls. The wild flora surrounding the fabulous waterfall is amazing and is colonized with monkeys jumping and playing on the trees just beside the waterfalls as they are used to human presence.

If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to see the curious monkeys jumping through the big old trees on the river banks. Watch the Mauritian fruit bats resting perched on the highest trees as you approach the waterfall.

The main highlight of this high-speed cruise is a visit to the famed Ile aux Cerfs island. As you approach the Ile aux Cerfs Island by speed boat, you will see the swaying palm trees and the pure white beaches framed by the vivid turquoise waters.
