Trou Aux Biches Beyond the Lagoon 2019
What's it like beyond the lagoon of Trou Aux Biches? This was my absolute favorite place to snorkel. Watch this video and it's easy to see why. This is a compilation of my best footage from about 20 journeys beyond the barrier reef at Trou Aux Biches. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you my friend Raphael Romero for the awesome drone footage!

Snorkeling at Mahebourg
มุมมอง 7815 ปีที่แล้ว
What's it like snorkeling at Mahebourg in Mauritius? We went on a snorkeling trip with Case Nautique to find out. Our expert guide Brummell took us to three sites in the Mahebourg lagoon. The reefs were absolutely beautiful. 2019 has seen severe coral bleaching all around the island, we saw much bleached coral on our trip, but the corals did show signs of recovery. I hope that within a few mont...
Snorkeling at Trou Aux Biches

What's it like snorkeling at Trou Aux Biches? Trou Aux Biches is one of the best snorkel locations on the island,. The water by the reef is often crystal clear and the waters team with beautiful fish, curious turtles and beautiful corals. Take care though as speed boat activity can make swimming to and from the reef risky. It is best to observe and find a less active part of the beach to swim o...

At Trou Aux Cerfs
มุมมอง 3525 ปีที่แล้ว
What's it like at Trou Aux Cerfs the dormant volcano in Mauritius? It was my first time visiting a volcanic crater so I'm not sure how to compare it. The view was beautiful, both of the crater and the surrounding landscape. If you stand on the edge there is a cool breeze that rises from the crater, like a natural air conditioner. And don't worry about an eruption it's only likely to erupt again...

What's it like snorkeling at Bain Boeuf Mauritius at sunset? The time of day you snorkel can greatly affect what you see on the reef. Some species of fish hide in the coral or under boulders during the morning hours but later in the afternoon towards sunset they begin to emerge. Filmed with a Gopro Hero 7 Black in 2018.

Snorkeling at Ilot Gabriel

What's it like snorkeling at Ilot Gabriel in Mauritius? Absolutely breathtaking. Ilot Gabriel is reachable by catamaran cruise and is best enjoyed as part of a full day excursion.

We were blessed to ...
Snorkeling at Bain Boef

What's it like snorkeling at Bain Boeuf Mauritius? Beautiful! The visibility isn't as great as some of the more popular locations around the island but the reef is alive and well and teeming with fish. A gem for reef enthusiasts. Filmed with a Gopro Hero 7 Black in 2018.
Good video!
the little "i love you" was so cute XD. Really enjoy your content
Well, I don't find it very impressive. Not too many fish (fish species) to see, especially compared to other regions in Mauritius
That is why I made these videos, so people like yourself can gauge weather it's worth your time and money. Have a great new year!
@@whatsitlike1644 Thx for that!
my country
It is beautiful, I think of my time there often.
keeping stunning amigos mauritius my second home !
Cannot believe I was researching this and stumbled on your video!! Also it was the first link on my search result. Awesome video
Glad that you found the video, it can be quite challenging to find information on what the different locations around Mauritius are like to snorkel at. It was my frustration that drove me to make these vids:) Glad that you don't have to go through the same thing. I will be uploading a video about Blue bay soon.
I was also surprised how pristine the corals were at outrigger. Other resorts in Mauritius usually have to take you further for snorkeling. I usually have to go snorkeling a bit farther but it was literally just a few meters off the beach. Could you tell me which camera you used to film?
Amazing - thanks for sharing!
I live there
They also feed the turtles, unsustainable practice!
I agree with you, I don't endorse the practice. I only seek to provide information. I personally prefer natural encounters. I do hope that practices on the island will shift to more sustainable practices, especially with regards to the coral and fishing.
Nice vid! Did you go on your own or with a boat? And if you swam on your own, how far was it from the shore? Aren't there any dangerous creatures? Are there any sea urchin so I need to wear water shoes? We're planning to go there with family so im asking☺️☺️
Hi Ivy, I swam from the shore. It's not far to see coral. You just need to be aware of boats close to shore, so it's best to go earlier in the morning to be about of the water by 9am. Dangerous creatures, not really. There are no sharks, and there is nothing that would go out of its way to sting or hurt you. The most dangerous thing is the stonefish. You must only be careful to not stand on rocks or corals only put your feet down on sand. In my 15 month stay in Mauritius I only ever saw one. If you put your feet down always watch yourself put down your feet to make sure you do not damage the reef or yourself. I would recommend practicing snorkelling in a swimming pool beforehand if you have not done snorkelling before. It will make for a much more enjoyable experience. There are sea urchins but if you are practiced in snorkelling you can easily avoid them, I recommend swimming fins for your feet as it will make your swimming stronger and safer. If you provide me an email I will happily point out some areas that are great for snorkelling.
@@whatsitlike1644 WOW THANK YOU for such a long comment! I really appreciate your time! Thanks for all advice! What about wearing water shoes? I don't necessarily need swimming fins, I'd rather use swimming shoes,are they also effective? Will I avoid sea urchins harms with them? Andd I'll be only staying at trou aux biches so you can give me some advice about nice snorkeling spots there! Where the turtles and rich sea marine is etc. I'm experienced in snorkeling by the way but I guess it will be easier to take a 1 hour boat trip for example to get there, I don't wanna risk swimming since I will be staying there with my mum who is not that good swimmer! If you maybe know the prize for boat rent on tour aux biches? 30 minutes would be pretty enough, do they offer short trips like this too? Thank you so much! My mail is lorincovalidka@gmail.com but you can contact me here, in comments too:)
@@lydialorincova7628 hello again, I have sent you an email with a map showing good spots to snorkel. I hope you have a wonderful time!
What's It Like? Hi could you also supply me with that map as we are staying there now? Thanks
@@link1234567890 sure, send me a email to send it to.
Thanks for the Informations. We will be an Balaclava in Dec '19. I think it us worth for a trip.
Très belle vidéo! Nous sommes actuellement à l´ile Maurice et lorsque nous avons été à Trou aux biches cet après midi nous n’avons pas du tout trouvé de récifs de corails comme sur votre vidéo... il faut aller loin pour les trouver ? quels sont vos réglages de gopro pour avoir un rendu pareil? Car l’eau est trouble a trou aux biches et impossible d’avoir un rendu aussi nette pour moi avec ma gopro HERO7 Black 7... Merci d’avance 😊
Merci pour votre commentaire, j'ai filmé le corail que vous voyez dans la vidéo dans le lagon devant La Belle Plage, ce n'est pas très loin, regardez sur Google Maps les images satalites avant de nager, le corail est sombre dans l'eau. Il y a eu beaucoup de blanchissement des coraux cet été, il a donc l'air moins sain que ma vidéo, mais beaucoup de choses se sont déjà rétablies. Malheureusement, les conditions étaient mauvaises aujourd'hui, mais je pense que le temps sera meilleur demain. Les conditions de clarté de l'eau varient donc cela dépend de la chance du jour. En ce qui concerne le réglage GoPro, cette vidéo montre les paramètres que j'utilise. th-cam.com/video/5U6bL1Pcxk8/w-d-xo.html . Si vous souhaitez que les prises de vue stables se filment en nageant, remplissez une chaussette de sable et utilisez-la pour alourdir votre appareil photo en l'enroulant autour de la poignée de votre appareil photo. Placez la caméra au fond de l'océan et nagez devant votre caméra.
Hey what was the name of the boat?
Sorry for the late response, the attitude hotel, (coin de Mire hotel) it was with them. www.tripadvisor.co.za/AttractionProductReview-g293816-d12990477-Full_Day_Mauritius_Catamaran_Cruise_to_Ilot_Gabriel_and_Flat_Island-Mauritius.html
