Mauritius South Tour Including Blue Bay Glass Bottom Boat & Snorkelling

Sophie_D, May 2025

Exceeded our wildest expectations

My husband and I booked this excursion on our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. Blue Bay Marine park is beautiful with breathtaking scenery, swimming and snorkeling with the fishes was so much fun. We had the glass bottom boat all to ourselves and had the most upbeat music on the boat - it was like a party just for us. The nature park was amazing - we got to touch turtles and be up close to crocodiles (safely behind a gate of course). Honestly the experience was way better than we could have imagined. I recommend it 1000%. Also the private car was soooo comfortable with separate seats and individual air conditioning and our driver could not do enough for us and was patient when we were running late or spent more time than planned at locations. We decided not to do the rhumerie as rum isn't our thing but we did everything else and it was just so perfect. I cannot recommend it enough and if we ever come back to Mauritius we will 100% do it again.

We had a wonderful day on...

We had a wonderful day on this tour, with particular highlights including the Vanille Crocodile Park and the Blue Bay Marine Park. The Mahebourg Waterfront was a bit of a let down, although that's mainly to do with it being out of season so it was practically deserted. We did get a good view of the Lion Mountain from there though. I'm giving the tour four stars rather than five because our guide seemed quite inexperienced. He didn't seem to know how the snorkelling option in the Blue Bay Marine Park worked, and had we not pushed the point we wouldn't have got to do it (which would have been a real shame as the marine life and coral were simply stunning).

Blue Bay Marine Park and La Vanille Nature Park

We went for a great snorkeling experience at Blue Bay Marine Bay, with good equipment in the lovely clear blue sea. The crew threw plenty of bread in to surround us with fish. The glass bottom boat gave you a view over the reef. Our trip organiser Gr Kessaven and driver Prakash had kindly listened to our request to skip St Aubin Rhumerie and a local restaurant. This gave us more time at La Vanille Nature Park. We had a lovely meal in 'Le Crocodile Affeme' restaurant (I would recommend the Crocodile Platter). We fed numerous Giant Tortoises (food was 75 Mur), which was great. Then stayed for the 1430 Crocodile feeding show, which was very entertaining. I would suggest drivers try to get to La Vanille before the 1130 first show, or leave after the 1430 second show. Our driver made a brief photo stop at Gris Gris before returning us to our hotel, after a memorable day. I won't forget the sound of the Crocodile jaws snapping shut, trying to 'catch' meat suspended above them.

Blue Bay Marine Park

Our day started with La Vanille Nature Park where we thoroughly enjoyed the Giant Tortoises wandering freely amongst the visitors which my son and all adults were amazed by their friendly nature. We then went to Mahebourg Museum which although small it’s history is very insightful regarding maritime war and slavery. Next was a trip to the local market which was vibrant with local people selling their fruit and vegetables along with street sellers targeting visitors. Following this we had lunch at a local restaurant serving local food such as curry and fish. Finally to end our day we visited the most beautiful beach at Blue Bay Marine Park surrounded by local people picnicking. The views we spectacular and our boat trip guide was very informative showing us the different corals and talking about their aims for preservation of the reef. We decided to remain in the boat but we’re also given the choice to snorkel if we wished to take a closer look at the various fish around us. Our driver was very friendly and talkative throughout our day giving us information about our places of visit and life on Mauritius.

Mauritius South Tour Including Blue Bay Glass Bottom Boat & Snorkelling

An overall great experience

An overall great experience. The glass bottom boat ride and snorkelling was an amazing experience, with clear waters even on a cloudy day and I was able to observe a variety of fish. La Vanile nature park was underwhelming, if you're short on time I would skip this. Rum tasting at St Aubin was also a nice experience. The driver Imran was very polite and friendly. There was a bit of an issue with miscommunication however, between Bonjour Mauritius and the people at Blue Bay, claiming this was not a private booking when it clearly states otherwise. The order of the itinerary was also changed, which was fine but I would have appreciated if Bonjour Mauritius contacted me to let me know beforehand.
