Mauritius: Snorkeling with Turtles & Port Louis Street Food

2.Mauritius: Snorkeling with Turtles & Port Louis Street Food

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 61 reviews · 5 hours

Spend five hours combining sea and city: take a boat from Trou aux Biches, snorkel among coral, fish, and possibly turtles, then explore Port Louis with a French or English-speaking guide. Hotel pickup, local food tastings, and lunch are included. Guides such as Alan, Baboo, and Nishal have led recent outings.

“The trip to Port Louis was very interesting. Best to experience it with a knowledgeable guide. He was very friendly and we tried some of the local foods which we would not have done on our own. We did not see any Turtles, that was disappointing BUT we do understand that it is wild animals and nobody can control them. We had a great snorkeling experience.”

All Inclusive Caribbean adventure, reef snorkeling, Food & Drinks

4.All Inclusive Caribbean adventure, reef snorkeling, Food & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 33 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $65Best value

Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a catamaran with an open national bar, guided reef snorkeling, regional buffet lunch, and beach-club time. You can relax by the water or explore downtown Isla Mujeres. Manny and Joshua are among the guides praised for friendly service, but this is a loud party-style trip, not a quiet snorkeling outing.

“An amazing time and great experience. My wife and I had a great time and they were very kind. We bought some jewelry in the city and they waited a few extra minutes so I could return it because it was broken. Very kind and helpful people.”
