This is the trip for people who want the coast explained rather than just shown, so the day is built around what is actually in the water along this stretch of Mauritius and where to look for it. The half day runs from Black River up to Tamarin and down to Ile aux Benitiers with time to snorkel, and the full day carries on past Flic en Flac and Le Morne towards the south, which is more coastline than most boats cover in a day. Six guests is the limit either way, so the boat stays quiet enough to actually watch things.
The crew meet you at the Le Morne Anglers Club at nine in the morning and take the boat out along the coast.
The first leg runs north towards Tamarin, where the bay opens out and the water is usually calm early.
The boat stops for snorkelling, with the crew pointing out what is worth looking at rather than leaving you to find it.
The safari works down to the islet and the shallow water around it.
The full day carries on past Flic en Flac and Le Morne towards the south of the island, which the half day does not reach.
The boat returns to the club at one in the afternoon on the half day, or three on the full day.

VerifiedPelagic Paradise works out of the Le Morne Anglers Club in Grande Riviere Noire, where the sea floor drops away only a few miles offshore and the deep water is reachable within minutes of leaving the mooring. Captain Amaury de Coriolis runs two boats, the sport fisher Fleur de Sel and the open speedboat Oceanyka, and takes small groups out for blue marlin and tuna, for giant trevally on poppers and jigs around Ilot Benitier, and for dolphins and humpback whales along the west coast. Every trip books the whole boat for one group, and the crew supply the tackle.
