The skipper will give you a brief explanation of the rules and the species you are about to see, the long-beaked dolphins (Flipper type) and the Spinners Once the dolphins have been spotted, the crew will provide you with snorkels and flippers, and off you go! The dolphins are powerful and swim fast: just follow and observe them. Even if a dolphin passes by you, try not to touch it.  The encounter with these splendid creatures is unique and will be one of the unforgettable memories of your holiday in Mauritius.Snorkelling in the stunning Blue Bay Marine Park   To explore the fascinating and amazing world of marine life in Mauritius, all you need is a mask and a snorkel to visit our beautiful lagoons. Some are much more diverse than others and if you want to live an unforgettable experience, head for the Blue Bay Marine Reserve. Located in the south of the island, 45 minutes from Marguery Exclusive Villas, Blue Bay is a beautiful beach of golden sand running from Pointe d’Esny to Pointe Corps de Garde. It is a real paradise setting with its colorful coral garden. Considered one of the world’s most beautiful Ramsar sites and a national heritage site on the island, Blue Bay Marine Park is a must-see on your holiday for its wide range of marine resources.The coastal road heading to this great site is also spectacular and the beach is a real haven for all the family.

Environmentally conscious? Discover the excellent work of the NGO Eco-Sud on the Blue Bay lagoon, among others: https://ecosud.mu/lagon-bleu/Surfing the legendary Dale wave in Tamarin   The legendary wave in the fishing village of Tamarin is world famous. During the southern winter, its right-hand side rolls out beautiful rollers, but you can surf almost all year round in Tamarin, the surfing Mecca of Mauritius. In case you have not brought your board, you can rent one at the boat house facing the bay. It is also possible to learn to surf, whether you are an adult or a child, with Cyril, an experienced surfer and instructor. Start on the waves of Tamarin Bay, less impressive (except in case of strong swells) but still perfect for dynamic memories.Introduction to kitesurfing in Le Morne On your top 10 to-do list, is kiteboarding: you are a passionate kiteboarder and thrill seeker?  Mauritius is the perfect place to start kitesurfing, in the stunning scenery of the Morne mountain. Less than twenty minutes from Marguery Exclusive Villas on the south-west coast, this mountain overlooks the splendid Morne lagoon, one of the most spectacular on the island, with its turquoise palette of transparent waters. It is home to the most renowned kite spot in Mauritius and internationally, suitable for beginners, freestylers and those who love waves and intense sensations. Your concierge has booked your beginner session with the excellent local kite schools. They are affordable and their teaching is efficient and adapted to your level. The equipment is rented and you are covered by insurance (kiteboarding is a thrill sport and can involve some risk). As you arrive, the tone is set: splendid multicolored sails fly over the crystal-clear water and rise into the air in breathtaking figures. The trade winds are there all year round in Le Morne, which is one reason why it is so popular with kiters from all over the world. Don’t worry, you will begin in shallow and relatively calm water, after training on the sand. You have to learn how to control your sail, use the wind, start and return. Kiteboarding requires discipline and endurance and the sensations are absolutely amazing.Gentle paddling It is certainly the easiest, the most ecological and peaceful way to discover the wonderful lagoons of Mauritius! Paddling is suitable for everyone, with no great difficulty, and can be enjoyed at one’s own pace. Tamarin Bay, five minutes from your resort, offers two possible options: the sea or the river. Your paddle has been booked the day before by your concierge at the hotel’s boat house or with Cyril, the surfing instructor. For an initiation, choose a quiet sea, until you find your right balance. Start on your knees in shallow water, and stand up, with legs spread for more stability. You will probably fall a few times which is quite normal. Once you start rowing, you quickly learn the best posture. Not very comfortable when standing? Sit cross-legged or kneel down, the feeling will be as enjoyable. Always check the direction and strength of the wind before setting off, so as not to row too hard on the return if you have a head wind. From the bay, head for the buoys in the centre. Early in the morning, you can often spot a school of small dolphins. Then continue towards the rocky coastline on your right. You will sail over a series of volcanic concretions surrounded by small fish. Have a swim in the crystal-clear water and admire Mauritius from the sea: the mountain of La Tourelle, the mountain ranges, the steep coastline and its forest, the beaches of Wolmar and Flic-en-Flac… On the way back, if the river estuary enables it, go upstream for a short stroll through the barachois (stone enclosure), along Tamarina golf course and woods to see the many birds and monkeys. If you have opted for an afternoon session, end the day like the locals, with a beer on the beach to admire the most mythical sunset of Mauritius. View from the sky: parasailing Mauritian holidays filled with high emotions? Well, parasailing is definitely for you! Traditionally found in the north and east of Mauritius, this short but exciting experience takes you over stunning lagoons with a boat-towed parachute. Add it to your excursion plans. A number of spots are ideal for parasailing: the lagoon of Grand-Baie, La Cuvette (fifteen minutes from Mythic Suites & Villas), Belle-Mare, Trou d’Eau Douce or Ile aux Cerfs, which are all about thirty minutes away from Marguery Exclusive Villas.

Open to children aged 8 and over, parasailing does not require prior booking, with operators working from 9am to 4pm.

Each year during winter (from June to October), the humpback whale migration in our waters is a spectacular experience for us. A breathtaking show you are most welcome to witness while staying at Marguery Villas.  The long migrationThe humpback is a species of baleen whale (or mysticete) whose adults usually reach 13 to 14 metres in length and weigh an average of 25 tonnes. They can be found in the world’s oceans and seas, and every winter they perform an amazing show during their migration to the Indian Ocean.From Antarctica during the Austral summer (December to May) to the Tropic of Capricorn during the Austral winter (June to November), humpback whales travel thousands of kilometres each year to the warmer southern waters to breed. Some mothers even stay until early December, waiting for their only calf to be strong enough to resume their migration. Mauritian winters are therefore an ideal opportunity to meet these impressive creatures.About whale watchingOperators who organise dolphin spotting trips also offer humpback whale watching. It is difficult to know in advance if the whales will be seen, so the skippers communicate with one another so that information can be passed on as soon as a herd or individual is spotted, notably thanks to the sprays of water that reveal their movement.Although it is sometimes necessary to sail a few nautical miles away from the coast, the observation can be made within fifteen minutes of the beaches by boat.As with any whale watching trip, a briefing is held by the crew to inform you of the approach, the rules and the potential dangers of being near the whales. Within the 300-metre zone, boats should reduce speed to make a slow approach, avoiding large speed changes and always keep a distance of about 50 metres parallel to the animal without coming from behind or ever crossing its path.A magical experienceMost humpback whales arriving in Mauritian waters settle in an area of several square kilometres in the south, near the Coin de Mire and the Round and Flat Islands in the north, as well as in the west, between Albion and Le Morne. As they choose shallow continental waters (between 25 and 60 metres) to give birth, they can sometimes be observed very close to the Mauritian coast.Also, during the breeding season, the males compete with each other in vocalizations to seduce the females. The songs can be heard by the human ear several kilometres away. But the most spectacular part is the love parade in which the males engage.Jumping out of the water in impressive choreographies given their size and weight, the humpback whales execute rare beauty leaps, with great splashes of foam. You have to carefully watch the surface to guess where the whale will emerge. But it is worth the wait!How to organise your humpback whale watching tripTell your Marguery Villas concierge about your plans, so that he can check with the operators for information on the whales’ whereabouts. Be flexible on the day, as humpback whales have their own agenda. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to see both dolphins and whales.As with any winter outing, remember to bring warm clothing. Unlike the dolphins, you won’t be able to get into the water, but you won’t regret it, as the show is mostly on the surface. Listen carefully, open your eyes and capture this wonderful memory of your holiday in Mauritius!On a family holiday in Mauritius this winter? Delight the children with this moving and majestic show and educate them on the absolute necessity to preserve the last giants of the sea.

Deeply influenced by the depth of a human gaze, the intensity of a particular minute, he shows the identity, the culture and the soul of the people of the islands, with a touch of poetry and nostalgia. Several times exhibited and awarded internationally, he proudly follows in the footsteps of Bresson and Salgado.  His poster format photographs are printed in Mauritius and available in bookshops (Presse Book in Ruisseau Creole, opposite Marguery Villas) as well as in some other stores.
