Review of Mauritius turtle snorkeling with Le Transporteur: private speedboat, Trou aux Biches lagoon, wildlife, value, safety, and practical tips.
“The boat trip in itself was good, very quick journey there and back which meant more time in the water with the turtles! We liked that it was a personal experience however there were many other boats in the same area. I would only recommend this trip to strong swimmers as the tour guides drove off whilst the water was slightly choppy, no life vests offered and a long swim back to the boat. Overall, a good experience and tour guides very patient with taking you to multiple areas to search for the turtles!”
