Blue Bay Marine Park

Blue Bay Marine Park in Mauritius is a marine protected area located on the southeast coast of the island. This marine park is one of Mauritius' top natural attractions and is known for its rich underwater world, including a variety of coral reefs and many tropical fish.

Created to protect the marine ecosystem, Blue Bay Marine Park covers about 353 hectares and is home to more than 50 species of coral and around 80 species of fish. With crystal clear water and pronounced reefs, it has become a popular spot for snorkeling and diving. The water in the park is turquoise in color and so clear that you can easily see coral formations and marine life even from the surface.

The main coral species include species such as table corals, brain corals and staghorn corals. Fish include parrot fish, clown fish and many other exotic species.

For those who don't snorkel or dive, a popular alternative is a glass-bottom boat tour, which allows you to observe the underwater world without leaving the boat. This is a great option for families with children or those who want to enjoy marine life without having to dive in the water.

A visit to the park is an opportunity to see one of the richest marine ecosystems in Mauritius and will leave an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts alike.
