Itinerary

Blue Bay Marine Park

one hour

This fantastic, fun-filled day begins with a snorkelling stop at Blue Bay. As your speedboat approaches the marine park, you will begin to understand why this beach is called Blue Bay: the water is a multitude of shades of blue. You will want nothing more than to put on your snorkeling gear and hop in the water to discover the abundance of colourful tropical fish, including the trumpet fish, diverse coral formations and other marine creatures that call this park home.
Ile aux Aigrettes Nature Reserve

Passing by

Pass by the famous Ile aux AIgrettes island, home to the last remnants of dry coastal forest, once found around most of Mauritius.
Ile du Phare

one hour

Then you will head off to Ile de la Passe and Ile au Phare (Lighthouse Island). From your boat, you will be able to view the ruins of old buildings, including a prison, dating back to 200 years! You will stop at Ile au Phare, also known as Ile aux Fouquets and have some time to visit the island, which is a photographer’s dream. It has an abandoned lighthouse, beautiful cliffs where you can see powerful waves crashing against the rocks, and you can come across many interesting and rare creatures such as lizards and tropical birds.
