Snorkel Or Take A Glass Bottom Boat Out To Blue Bay

browse (1 / 4)

Take a trip to the South East of Mauritius and visit Blue Bay to feast your eyes on some of the bluest waters and most breathtaking white sandy beaches you will ever witness. Make your way across the island from the city of Port Louis and see what this serene well-kept place has to offer. The Glass bottom boats in Blue Bay make for a perfect outing.

When not out at sea, be sure to visit the part of Blue Bay which has been designated a Marine Park, and is in fact Mauritius’ only Marine Park. The snorkelling trips that are able to be taken by boat to the Marine Park, are all offered on the main public beach, and make for an utterly unique experience - well worth trying. Although the Blue Bay Marine Park is a protected marine park, the locals are still allowed to have small scale fishing around the border. The designation of the Marine Park has allowed the area to thrive with many different varieties of corals, bursting with massive Brain corals, Cabbage corals and Staghorn corals. 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, making glass bottom boat rides in the vicinity wondrous experiences.

This also makes for a serene dive, which focuses more on relaxing rather than adventure, making it the perfect snorkelling destination. Try to visit Blue Bay during the week as its many offerings that are on show attract an excessive amount of tourists over weekends.
