Description

Start your private sea trip with pickup from your hotel, villa, or apartment. You will be taken to the meeting point in Flic en Flac, where you board a private speedboat and cruise along the west coast of Mauritius. The first part of the trip is whale watching in open sea. Two types of whales live near Mauritius. Sperm whales can be seen all year, and humpback whales pass near the island between June and October. Whales are watched from the boat only, keeping a safe distance and respecting them in their natural home. After whale watching, the boat goes to the lagoon for snorkeling near Paradise Hotel. The water is calm and clear, making it easy to see fish and enjoy the sea. Next, visit the famous Crystal Rock, a beautiful coral rock in the lagoon. Stop for photos and enjoy snorkeling nearby in turquoise water with a view of Le Morne mountain. The trip continues to Île aux Bénitiers, where a BBQ lunch is prepared on the island. Enjoy grilled food, relax on the beach, swim, or rest in the shade. After the activity, return by speedboat to Flic en Flac. You will then be dropped off back at your hotel, villa, or apartment, ending your private whale watching and island experience.
