Baie du Tamarin
Baie du Tamarin is located in Tamarin on the west coast of Mauritius, backed by mountains and facing the Indian Ocean. This sheltered area with clear waters is a signature spot in Mauritius for boat trips to watch and swim with wild dolphins, and the sea is exceptionally calm in the early morning. As you head out from the shore by speedboat, the water transitions from nearshore turquoise to deep sapphire blue. Once a pod is spotted, the boat slows down for close observation. Dolphins often leap from the water in succession, and you may even encounter them riding the bow waves. The boat trip itinerary usually includes time to get into the water. Putting on a mask and jumping in to watch sunlight beam through the clear water as pods of dolphins glide past is a long-standing, popular experience here.Flic en Flac · 4.1 km from downtown

Tamarin does not offer the clearest sea water but is one of the dolphins favorite morning spots. Book a kayaking tour from one of the local companies to bring you dolphin watching or explore Rivière Tamarin. An excellent way to see things from a different angle and travel more responsibly.

Port Louis in Mauritius is the largest port in the country. There is a small commodity market here, and some light luxury brands (only in local currency) can be refunded at the airport after a certain amount of purchase. It is definitely not comparable to Shanghai, but it is a very prosperous place in the country.

Deer Cave Crater is a famous attraction in Mauritius. The view from afar is very shocking, and I sigh at the power of nature. It is really simple and magical. It is said that this is a dead volcano, but it is magnificent and majestic! Very beautiful!

The Cape of the End of the Earth in Mauritius has many large reefs protruding from the sea on the coastline, forming irregular angles. Some are like natural lighthouses standing on the sea, and some are like two pliers extending deep into the sea. The scenery is very beautiful and worth a visit.

Mona Mountain is steep and extends to the sea. There are many resort hotels on the mountain. The beach is very beautiful, with white sand and warm sea water. I recommend wearing shoes when going to the sea, which is suitable for a leisure vacation

Black River Gorges National Park is a very important national park in Mauritius. I came here during the rainy season. Although we couldn’t see far away, it had a different kind of hazy beauty. Because of the rain, there were fewer tourists and the entire national park was our world.
