Top Snorkeling Beaches in Mauritius

Mauritius boasts some of the world’s best snorkelling beaches, where coral reefs and marine life thrive. Let’s dive into the top snorkelling spots that will blow your fins off:

Blue Bay Marine Park

If you’re new to snorkelling, start at Blue Bay Marine Park—and trust us, it’s as beautiful as it sounds. Located in the southeast part of the island, this park is famous for its crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs. If you’re lucky, you’ll see colourful fish, parrotfish, and even the occasional turtle!

For those already buzzing with excitement about getting there, TRAVELHUB Mauritius offers private Chauffeur Services to whisk you directly from your hotel to Blue Bay. Convenient.

Trou aux Biches

Next on the list is Trou aux Biches, a family-friendly favourite on the north coast of Mauritius. This beach is perfect if you want calm, shallow waters that make snorkelling safe for all ages. The lagoon here is teeming with marine life, and you can easily spot fish darting between corals even in waist-deep water.

Are you planning to explore the North Tour of Mauritius? Remember to include a stop at Trou aux Biches. TRAVELHUB can even arrange a full-day tour packed with beach hopping and snorkelling adventures.

Flic en Flac

Over on the west coast, Flic en Flac offers yet another top-tier snorkelling experience. The coral reef lies about 200 meters from the shore, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the vibrant marine life. This is the spot if you’ve ever wanted to feel like you’re swimming in an aquarium.

Also, for the thrill-seekers, this is your gateway to more sea activities. Only leave with joining our ‘Swim with Dolphins’ excursion, a must-do for animal lovers. With TRAVELHUB Mauritius handling the details, you can just enjoy the ride.

Le Morne

Situated in the southwest, Le Morne Beach isn’t just for kite surfers. Its reef is home to countless fish species, making it a must for snorkelers. The location is stunning, with the backdrop of Le Morne Brabant, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Want a full day of adventure in the South? Combine your snorkelling trip here with our South Island Tour, and you’ll be back in time for a Mauritian-style sunset. Bonus: our Taxi Services are always ready to get you back to your accommodation in comfort.

What to Bring for Your Snorkeling Adventure

We know you’re excited to jump in, but wait—don’t forget to pack smart. Here’s a quick list of essentials:

1. Snorkelling Gear: Mask, snorkel, and fins (though you can rent them at most beaches).
2. Sunscreen: Trust us, the sun hits differently here. You’ll want to protect that skin.
3. Towel & Swimsuit: Obvious but essential!
4. Underwater Camera: Capture the magic and seriously make your friends back home jealous.

Pro Tip: In Mauritian Creole, locals use the word “latest” for head. Remember that when someone reminds you to wear your hat—keeping your ‘latest’ cool is key to enjoying a long day under the sun!

Insider Tips for a Perfect Snorkeling Experience

Here’s where our local knowledge comes into play. If you want the best snorkelling experience in Mauritius, timing is everything. Aim to snorkel during low tide when visibility peaks and the sea is calm. Trust us, there’s nothing like floating over a coral garden with fish swimming beneath you.

Hungry after your adventure? Try local dishes like dholl puri or fresh fish at a beachside snack shack. You’ll thank us later.

Oh, and if you want to extend the adventure beyond snorkelling, our Sightseeing Tours cover the best of both worlds—sea and land. We’ve got everything from stunning viewpoints to hidden hiking spots. Mauritius is more than just its beaches; with TRAVELHUB, you’ll see it all.
