The bow cleaves turquoise like a promise as the coast of Mauritius drops away — palms blur into reef flats and the horizon spits salt. On this full-day speedboat run from the southeast shoreline, each island arrives with its own rhythm: a thundering waterfall, a 19th‑century lighthouse, protected forest patches, powder-white sands and a coral garden that refuses to stay still.

Start early for calm seas
Departures in the morning generally encounter flatter water and clearer visibility for snorkeling; pack travel sickness remedies if you’re sensitive.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Bring biodegradable sunscreen or a UV shirt — reefs here are fragile and sunscreen chemicals harm coral.
Wear reef or water shoes
Beaches are soft but rock and coral entries can be sharp; shoes protect feet during short island walks and boat boarding.
Respect wildlife on Île aux Aigrettes
Follow guide instructions, keep distance from tortoises and birds, and avoid feeding animals to support conservation efforts.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin while minimizing damage to coral and marine life.
summer
Snorkel mask (personal)
Personal masks fit better than rental options and reduce fogging; snorkeling gear is provided but some prefer their own.
Water/recreational shoes
Protects feet on rocky entries, coral, and during boat boarding.
Dry bag (10–20L)
Keeps electronics, passport and a change of clothes dry during boat transfers.
