Unforgettable Boat Day in Le Morne: Dolphins, Snorkelling & Barbecue at Crystal Rock

During our stay in Mauritius, we booked a boat excursion with Karlos Excursions, a local company highly recommended by other travellers - and they truly delivered an amazing experience! #holidayvacation #familytrip 🏨 The day began with a smooth pickup right from LUX Le Morne Hotel, where their friendly crew welcomed us aboard and set the tone for a perfect day at sea. 🐬 Our first stop was just offshore to spot dolphins in their natural habitat. It was magical to see them swimming freely and the crew was respectful in keeping a safe distance. 🤿 Next, we headed to a nearby coral area for some snorkeling. The water was crystal clear, and we saw plenty of colorful fish and healthy coral formations. If you love the ocean, this part is a must—Mauritius truly has some of the best snorkeling spots I've experienced. 🔥 The highlight of the day was definitely the barbecue lunch near Crystal Rock. This famous volcanic rock formation rises dramatically from the sea, and we anchored nearby for a break. The crew prepared a delicious local-style barbecue right on the boat with fresh seafood, chicken, and even grilled pineapple. Eating with a view of Le Morne Brabant in the background was just incredible. 🏝 This area is not only stunning - it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It stands as a symbol of freedom, as it was once a refuge for runaway slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. Being surrounded by such natural beauty with such powerful history made the whole experience even more meaningful. ✍🏼 Travel Tips: - Book with a local company: It supports the local community and offers a more authentic experience. - Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a towel—there's a lot of sun and water! - Crystal Rock is popular, so going early helps avoid the crowds. - Don’t forget your camera—this is the kind of day you’ll want to remember. 🌊 A perfect mix of nature, culture, and adventure - this was one of the highlights of our time in Mauritius. Highly recommended to anyone staying in the Le Morne area! #mauritius #lemorne #boattrip #snorkeling #beachlife #unescoworldheritage #travelinspiration #wanderlust
