Embark on a snorkeling adventure in the Trou aux Biches Marine Park and swim with turtles. Then, embark on a street food tour of Port Louis, the vibrant capital of Mauritius.

Begin your day with a boat ride from Trou aux Biches Beach to the snorkeling site. As the engine hums and the boat glides across the water, feel an exhilarating rush, leaving the shore behind.

The northern waters of Mauritius remain warm throughout the year, making them a perfect sanctuary for turtles. This snorkeling spot is particularly popular due to its excellent underwater visibility. Seamounts create a mesmerizing underwater landscape, where vibrant coral reefs and colorful fish bring life to the deep blue lagoon. The coral beds are stunning, home to a diverse array of marine creatures, including multicolored fish, eels, and, of course, turtles.

The reef teems with fascinating marine life, from Damselfish, Surgeonfish, and Butterflyfish to juvenile Sailfin Tangs, tiny Pipefish, and large Trumpetfish. But the true highlight of this experience is the turtles, gracefully swimming past as they go about their daily routine.

As tempting as it may be, it’s important to resist the urge to touch them. These gentle creatures may startle easily, so it’s best to admire them from a respectful distance.
