Discover Ile aux Aigrettes, a small island composed of coral limestone, partially covered with sand and humus, a remnant of an eroded dune exposed after the sea level drop about 10,000 years ago. It is the last refuge of dry coastal forest, an ecosystem that was once common around the entire coast of Mauritius.
Then continue to Blue Bay Marine Park, where at an average depth of 5.5 meters, with crystal clear water with great visibility, the conditions for snorkeling are ideal. You will have a beautiful view of the reef, fish and a great variety of corals (there are more than 50 different species of corals in the park!).
The tour continues at the historical and naval museum of Mahebourg at Pointe des Regattes, where there is a memorial to the French and English who died in the Battle of Grand Port in 1810. The battle lasted several days and was a major British attempt to capture the island. It ended in defeat for the British and both sides suffered heavy losses. The French victory is written on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
