Swim with Dolphins & Snorkel in Mauritius: Includes snorkeling equipmentThis activity in Mauritius lets you swim with wild dolphins and snorkel in the same outing, guided by professionals trained in marine life respect. The experience runs about 3.5 hours and includes snorkeling equipment and refreshments. A live guide speaks English or French throughout.Is it for me?The guide speaks English or French, so you'll follow the commentary and understand the marine behavior without language barriers. Book this if you want to be in the water doing two activities—swimming and snorkeling—rather than watching from the boat.
Dolphin Watching and Snorkeling in Mauritius: Le Morne PeninsulaA full-day snorkeling activity in Mauritius where you board a boat from Black River, watch for spinner dolphins in open water, then dive into coral reefs and tropical marine life near the Le Morne Peninsula. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with snorkeling gear, a freshly prepared lunch, and unlimited drinks at a local restaurant. The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French and two additional languages.Is it for me?This is a shared-boat activity where you do the snorkeling yourself rather than watching from the deck—book it if you want to be in the water exploring the reefs, not observing them from above. The fixed itinerary and included lunch mean the day is structured for you; you show up at pickup and the timing, transport, and meal are arranged.
Snorkeling Mauritius: Swim with Dolphins at Le MorneA private speedboat snorkeling tour from Le Morne Beach in Mauritius takes you to swim with dolphins in their natural habitat, then snorkel at Crystal Rock and enjoy a full lobster lunch on Île aux Bénitiers. The 9-hour experience includes a guide, all snorkeling equipment, an open bar with local drinks, and views of Le Morne Mountain. Hotel pickup and drop-off are available for an additional cost.Is it for me?The private speedboat means you don't wait for other groups or follow a fixed schedule—your guide and crew work around your pace. If you're staying near Le Morne or without a rental car, the tour operates from the beach itself, and hotel transfers are arranged separately, so getting there is settled before the day starts.
Dolphin Watching at Sunrise in Mauritius: Small Group SnorkelingA 3-hour sunrise dolphin-watching and snorkeling activity in Mauritius with a small group of up to 6 guests, led by an experienced English-speaking crew. The boat moves to avoid crowded areas and pursues dolphins in their natural habitat rather than captive settings. Breakfast, snorkeling gear, water and hot drinks are included; dolphin sightings depend on weather and sea conditions, which vary daily.Is it for me?The 3-hour window fits a morning activity before the rest of your day, leaving the afternoon free. Not recommended if you have spinal injuries or low physical fitness; moderate fitness and comfort in the water are needed for the boat and snorkeling.
2 to 5 hours (1)
Blue Bay Eco Tour and Coral Snorkeling: MauritiusA half-day eco tour in Mauritius's Blue Bay pairs snorkeling at a coral restoration site near l'Île aux Aigrettes with a second dive on a marine transect back in the bay, led by a private guide who explains the NGO conservation work protecting the area. The tour starts and ends at Chantauvent, a family-run guest house, and includes bottled water; lunch is available à la carte on return.Is it for me?Start at Chantauvent, a family-run guest house on the bay itself, so you skip the crowded jetties and the drive from a resort—the guide meets you there and the boat leaves from a quiet corner. This works well if you're staying elsewhere on the island or arrived without a car, since public transport reaches the area and you're not dependent on a shuttle schedule.
Half day and longer (6)
Snorkeling in Mauritius: 5 Islands Speedboat Cruise with LunchA 7-hour speedboat snorkeling tour on Mauritius's east coast that stops at five islands and two snorkeling sites, with lunch and equipment included. The boat departs from the east coast and returns the same day; snorkeling is optional but the reefs between Blue Bay and Île aux Aigrettes (or near Îlot Mangenie, depending on conditions) are the centerpiece. A guide in English or French narrates the history of each stop—Île aux Cerfs, Île Phare with its 1864 lighthouse, Île de la Passe where the British and French fought in 1810, and the nature reserve at Île aux Aigrettes. Lunch and drinks happen at Îlot Mangenie.Is it for me?The boat picks you up from the east coast and returns you there the same day, so if you're staying in the region without a car, you skip the logistics of renting one or arranging separate transport to the marina. The speedboat pace means you see five islands and snorkel in one outing instead of splitting it across multiple days.
Catamaran Cruise Trou d'Eau Douce: Snorkeling & WaterfallA seven-hour catamaran cruise from Trou d'Eau Douce takes you to Grand River South East to snorkel at a waterfall flowing into the Indian Ocean, then to Ile aux Cerfs Island for two hours of swimming, sunbathing or watersports. The boat carries lunch prepared on board, an open bar with beer, wine and rum cocktails, snorkeling equipment, and a guide who speaks English and French. Watersports like parasailing and tube rides are available at the island for an extra cost.Is it for me?This is a shared boat tour, so you're with other travelers and the pace is set by the itinerary—good if you want the stops and the logistics arranged, and the company of other people makes the day livelier. If you prefer to move at your own speed or skip the snorkeling, the two-hour island time gives you room to do your own thing on the sand.
Snorkeling in Mauritius: 5 Islands with Waterfall & BBQA six-hour boat tour of five Mauritian islands with snorkeling at coral reefs, visits to a historic lighthouse and nature reserve, and a BBQ lunch on white sand. The guide speaks English or French, equipment is provided, and the itinerary moves through Grande Riviere Sud Est Waterfall, Lighthouse Island, Île de la Passe, Île aux Aigrettes and Île aux Cerfs. Infants sit on an adult's lap; the tour suits all fitness levels but is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries.Is it for me?This is a shared boat tour, so you travel with other visitors and move at a group pace — it suits travelers who want the full five-island route without arranging transport or booking each stop separately. If you prefer a private boat or a different island selection, look for a custom charter instead.
Mauritius Snorkeling: 5 Islands Speedboat with BBQ LunchA 6-hour speedboat tour from Trou d'Eau Douce visits five islands across Mauritius's lagoon—Île aux Phares, Île de la Passe, Île aux Aigrettes and Île aux Cerfs—with stops to swim and snorkel in clear water, a waterfall visit, and a midday BBQ lunch with drinks included. Snorkeling masks are provided; the boat returns by mid-afternoon.Is it for me?The boat leaves from Trou d'Eau Douce, accessible by public transport or your own car, so you do not need to arrange a separate pickup—just arrive at the pier by 9am and the day unfolds from there.
Snorkeling in Mauritius: Lagoon, Island & WaterfallA full-day snorkeling tour in Mauritius that combines four distinct stops—a protected lagoon with marine life, a guided wildlife island, a scenic mangrove cruise to a waterfall, and leisure time on a lagoon beach. The tour includes hotel pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, a live English-speaking guide, bottled water, and all entrance fees. Children from age 6 are welcome; the day runs eight hours.Is it for me?Book this if you want to visit four separate lagoon spots in one day with all transport and timing handled for you, rather than piecing together individual excursions.
Snorkeling in Mauritius: 5 islands with lunch and drinksA private boat tour in Mauritius visits five islands over six hours, with snorkeling gear provided, a local BBQ lunch and drinks included. You'll explore the turquoise lagoon side of the islands and the Indian Ocean swells on the other, stop to snorkel the marine life, swim at Ile aux Aigrettes, and finish the day on Ile aux Cerfs beach. A live guide speaks English or French.Is it for me?The six-hour commitment leaves the rest of your day free if you start early, or pairs with an afternoon activity if you book a later departure. The all-inclusive meals and drinks mean no stops to find food or pay separately during the tour.
