Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Blue Bay Marine Park, Blue Bay Link Road, Mahebourg, Mauritius

Once you arrive at Blue Bay Beach, you will begin to understand where the name “Blue Bay” came from: the water is a multitude of shades of blue. From the beach, you’ll embark on a glass bottom boat trip to the famous Blue Bay Marine Park. The marine park is arguably the best location for snorkelling in Mauritius. With snorkelling gear provided, you’ll be able to discover the abundance of colourful tropical fish, including the trumpet fish, diverse coral formations and other marine creatures that call this park home.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Gris Gris Beach, South Coast, Souillac, Mauritius

While most of Mauritius is surrounded by coral reefs, giving us the calm lagoon the island is famous for, the southern part of the island is where there is a break in the reef. At Gris Gris, you will be able to admire the rugged scenery of big, powerful waves crashing on the stunning cliffs. A few metres away, you will see La Roche qui Pleure, a natural rock formation that resembles a person crying when the waves hit it.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: La Vanille Nature Park, Senneville, Riviere des Anguilles, Riviere des Anguilles, Mauritius

Stroll through La Vanille Réserve des Mascareignes and its 3.5 hectares of lush greenery. Discover its beautiful palm and banana trees, giant bamboos, its impressive animals, including 2,000 Nile Crocodiles and 1,000 giant tortoises. You will also visit their insectarium which boasts one of the best private collections in the world with 23,000 species.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Rhumerie de Saint Aubin, Savanne Road, Saint Aubin, Mauritius

The St. Aubin Rhumerie uses both artisanal and traditional distillery techniques to make its award-winning rum. You’ll have the opportunity to visit the factory and learn about the rum-making process and sample the delicious varieties of rum they offer. You can also visit the beautiful colonial house and the vanilla and anthurium flower plantations.

It was such a smooth experience with Bonjour Mauritius! We arrived at Blue Bay and the boat was already waiting for us. The water at Blue Bay was really out of this world beautiful. Our toddler had a blast counting all kinds of fish she spotted thru the glass bottom panels! 10/10 :D

Le meilleur spot pour le snorkeling, des poissons magnifiques. Le reste de la journée pas exceptionnelle un restaurant imposé très cher pour ce qu'on mange .

Merveilleuse journée sur le bateau Peter Pan pour la visite du sud est de l'île Maurice depuis la plage du Shandrani. Merci à Sylvain et son fils Esteban qui nous a fait découvrir à notre rythme l'île au phare, l'île aux cerfs et toutes la beauté de la cote. Superbe journée sur le bateau rien que pour nous, Esteban nous a trouvé une petite crique pour dejeuner en toute tranquillité, tout cela avec rhum et autre boisson bien sûr. Je conseille vivement

ras sauf que pour les personnes qui n'ont pas leur propres tuba et masques, ils s'en prêtes sans savoir si ils ont bien été nettoyé après la dernière utilisation, par contre les fond marins sont pleins de de jolis poissons tropicaux et de coraux vivant pleins de couleurs.
