Scuba diving and snorkeling are not the only ways to explore the sea. Have you ever tried to take a walk underneath the sea?
Don't miss your chance to enjoy being on the ocean floor, wearing a helmet to let you breathe while you will be exploring the marine life and the marvelous corals that are housed there. It is a 20-minute walk guided by experienced staff. You will be immersed in a crystal clear lagoon, at about 3 to 4 meters deep.

The guide picked us up from our hotel and was very friendly. We were in a group and he made sure we all understood the comprehensive safety talk before we got in the boat to take us to where we were doing the walk. Any and all apprehension was very kindly addressed and the instructors went out of their way to make everyone feel at ease. All in all a superb experience and one I would 100% recommend.

The staff were very friendly and reassuring about the under water walking and the way the helmet worked. What we didn't enjoy was the taxi driver who's driving was very dangerous, he was getting very close to the car infront, driving at speed, overtaking lorries on blind bends and was holding his mobile phone and chatting while all this was going on we were so glad to get back to our hotel in one piece! Not looking forward to our next trip if this is the standard of driving

Absolutely brilliant experience! It was so interesting to actually be down with the fish and really getting to see them up close. The guide was really lovely and gave a good explanation before we set off. They do take photos/videos of you on a GoPro but receiving these comes at an extra cost.

Mauritius South Island Tour with Chamarel Geopark & Grand Bassin
Wild beauty abounds in Mauritius. But the island's colourful south is absolutely bursting with it. This tour takes you to a roll call of must-sees. Trou aux Cerfs volcano, a sacred lake, the seven-coloured earth of Chamarel and much more await. Sandya, one of our local guides, says, ‘The south is how I imagine my island was 400 years ago. I try to imagine how our animals lived, such as the giant tortoises and extinct dodo, and the now-protected luxuriant forests.'The fun kicks off at Trou aux Cerfs, a dormant volcano with a 90-metre-deep pine-studded crater. Next, we'll visit Voiliers de l'Océan, where artisans handcraft teak models of 18th century galleons. Laurna, another of our local guides, says, ‘It takes about 300 hours to complete a small boat of 70cm, while for larger boats about 1 to 3 months, depending on the size.' At the Takamaka winery, sample lychee wines and find out how discarded skins are used. This visit supports the employment of locals in a traditional business.Then, at Grand Bassin, a lake sacred to Hindus, you'll visit a temple and maybe offer prayers. A drive through Black River Gorges National Park takes you to a restaurant in Chamarel for a lunch made from locally sourced ingredients. Highlights in the park include the 100-metre drop Chamarel waterfalls and the seven-coloured earth of Chamarel. These barren volcanic dunes are surrounded by greenery.
