Another one of the special attractions of Mauritius – swimming with sea turtles. Swimming is highly recommended at any age, the cruise to the turtle area is not jumpy, very short and you see quite a few special sea animals that you would not see in the shallow areas: spotted sea snakes, special fish, swordfish and many more. It should be noted that there is no obligation of any company to actually see sea turtles, but in the vast majority of cases at least one is encountered.
Cost : 800 Mauritian rupees
Length : one hour
It is recommended to bring : Go-Pro (more than recommended!), snorkel, mask, towels, sunscreen, hat, water.
Tips : listen to the skipper – there is communication between the boats and they told you where to swim to see the turtles. Don’t give up on swimming and keep waiting – if you give up quickly, you may lose. Sometimes you wait even half an hour in the water and only then will the turtle reach the boat area. And remember – there is no guarantee that you will see the turtles anywhere. The sea is open, and unlike the dolphins that are in a certain area – the sea turtles swim near the area and will not always choose to come to the area of the boats – although the majority do manage to meet them.
