Swim with sea turtles, Mauritius

Mauritius is a tropical island located in the southern Indian Ocean.

With palm-fringed coasts, vibrant jungles, volcanoes and craters, and white-sand beaches, the landscape of Mauritius is remarkably diverse. You’ll fly into the capital – Port Louis – which is a cosmopolitan hub known for its French colonial architecture and lively waterfront. What makes Mauritius an attractive island to visit (either as a stand-alone or often paired with an African safari), is the abundance of marine life and watersports activities. Diving and snorkeling through the crystal-clear waters is one of the most popular excursions. Approximately 8 kilometers north of Mauritius is Trou aux Biches – the most renowned snorkeling site in Mauritius. As well as seeing an array of tropical fish, you’ll come across beautiful turtles and enjoy an unforgettable swimming experience with them.
