Full Description

Experience one of Mauritius’ most magical marine encounters — swimming with sea turtles in their natural environment. This half-day tour takes you to Trou aux Biches, a coastal gem known for its calm, turquoise waters and rich underwater life.

After your hotel pickup, your driver will take you to the departure point, where a boat awaits to transport you to the “natural aquarium” — a protected lagoon teeming with marine life. The boat ride lasts approximately 30 minutes each way, offering scenic views of the northern coastline.

Upon arrival at the snorkeling site, you'll have 30–45 minutes to snorkel and swim among graceful green turtles and other tropical fish. The waters are shallow, clear, and ideal for beginners or seasoned snorkelers alike.

This is a respectful, eco-conscious experience that allows you to observe these beautiful creatures without disturbing their natural behaviors.

After the activity, return by boat and enjoy a relaxing transfer back to your hotel.
