Day 2: Semi-Submarine Trip in Mauritius
A semi-submarine trip offers a unique look at the undersea world in complete safety. This vessel features an underwater section, resembling a surfaced submarine. Upon arrival, passengers will descend to seats below the waterline, where large glass windows on both sides provide a fantastic underwater view, creating the illusion of sailing in a submarine.
This is a great way to discover beautiful, colorful marine life without getting wet. You will explore the rich coral reefs of Mauritius and encounter its vibrant aquatic underwater life.
The trip lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes. Throughout the journey, you will be comfortably seated below sea level in an air-conditioned cabin, offering an optimal close panoramic view of the coral reefs, abundant colorful fish, and many other marine species. The guides will explain the different species you will encounter during the trip and introduce you to Mauritius’ marine world.
At any time, you can take a break and go on deck to enjoy the sunshine, along with beautiful views of the lagoon, beaches, and Mauritian landscape.
At one key location during the trip, the semi-submarine will stop along the reef, and you can choose to disembark and enjoy some snorkeling along the beautiful coral reef.
This is a great way to enrich the experience and discover the wide variety of corals and fish firsthand (snorkeling gear will be available for you to use).
On the way back to Grand Bay, the cruising route is slightly different, giving you the opportunity to see a new area of the reef and lagoon and spot species such as turtles, rays, barracudas, and many more.
The semi-submarine is an ideal activity for children who love watching fish up close. They will enjoy spectacular views with maximum safety behind the boat’s glass windows. Snacks and refreshments will be served during the excursion.
