#seascapes #100WaysOfTravel I am off to the long awaited highlight of my Mauritius trip which is to swim with the whales and dolphins at Ile aux Benitiers. This is an island on the southwest of Mauritius and nearby Le Morne beach and Tamarin Bay. This is one of the popular places to see dolphins. I paid for a boat and snorkling trip with lunch provided and paid 10500 Mauritius rupee (about S$300) for 2 adults. It was a small tour of about 10 persons and we set off on a speedboat. The waves were calm and each time 2 persons will dive in the sea with the instructors. Please always wear your life jackets and keep close to the speedboat when you are in the sea. #mauritius #traveltips #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

#islandtours #100WaysOfTravel Come with me on a catamaran at Ile Aux Cerfs, the most desirable private island to visit in Mauritius. The only way is by the sea and you can hire a catamaran for the best island tour. There are also several luxurious hotels around here and you can only arrive here via boat. The best and most economical way is to join a day tour and choose the catamaran option with BBQ lunch and drinks. All life jackets and snorkel equipment are included and you can swim freely during rest stops. I was caught in a traffic jam on my way to the jetty so I took a small boat and went to meet the catamaran when they stopped for snorkeling. You have to visit this beautiful island at least once in your lifetime. #mauritius #traveltips #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

#islandtours #100WaysOfTravel Come with me to witness the most beautiful crystal clear ocean in Indian ocean. If you cannot swim or snorkel then you can consider hiring this crystal glass bottom boat to go on an island tour. The ocean is clear and not too deep because of the sand bank, so you can see many live corals in the ocean and these coral are still very colourful. The prices are in Mauritian rupees and you can negotiate the price with the boatman. In Mauritius, both French and English are spoken and there is no communication problems. The boatman also provide life jackets and snorkel equipment for free too. I will suggest a maximum of 45 minutes to 1 hour is good enough for this quick island tour. #mauritius #traveltips #liveyourdreams #takethattrip
