Underwater Solar Sea Walk

The Underwater Solar Sea Walk is one of the most unique attractions that one must experience when visiting Mauritius. It is an activity to be enjoyed by the whole family and completely environment friendly as the helmet powered by the sun - a true once in a lifetime experience for all the non divers out there! The Underwater Solar Sea Walk does not require any knowledge of swimming or diving and you are not even required to remove your glasses.

Before going under water, you will receive a safety briefing and a square helmet connected to solar-powered electric compressors to produce oxygen underwater. Instructors will make sure you feel safe and are able to breathe into the helmet before the descent. The dive location is inside the reef, at about 3-4 metres of turquoise water.

Your safety and security is a top priority too - there is an underwater guide and 2 surface divers with you at all times, so you can be rest assured it will be great fun for the whole family while in complete safety. Witness firsthand the magnificent marine life of Mauritius, the beautiful fauna, corals, and a wide variety of fish, all in their natural habitat.

If you do not wish to undertake the activity but simply want to accompany your loved one who is diving, you can choose to stay onboard and enjoy the boat ride (subject to extra cost). The sea surrounding Mauritius is already a very nice view to behold and you will enjoy the sea trip.

About the Solar Sea Walk - Undersea Walk

How does it work? The Solar Sea Undersea Walk is an underwater activity in shallow water that uses solar energy without any relation to scuba diving. The helmet used in this activity is a "free flow" air supply, that is the air pumped by a hose from the surface flows freely into the helmet at a constant volume - unlike scuba diving where air from a self-contained tank is only delivered on demand.

This activity is Environment Friendly. 100% untainted air is pumped to square non distortion helmets using electric compressors powered by the sun. Even the compressors are very unique as they don’t use any lubrication, so not even micro fumes taint the breathing air unlike other systems on similar activities.

Mauritius National Botanical Garden

The botanical garden is home to an incredible variety of tropical plants, many of them indigenous. The Botanical Garden is one of the most visited sights in Mauritius. It was first opened as a private garden by the French governor of Mauritius nearly 300 years ago. The botanical garden stretches over endless acres of land and it can take you more than a week to cover the whole garden. The Botanical Garden is populated with more than 650 varieties of plants among which are the famous Baobabs, the palmier bouteille, the ineluctable giant water lilies, dozens of medicinal plants, 85 different varieties of palms, a big spice garden and many more. As part of the tour, you will get to explore the Botanical gardens and have a taste of their beauty.

Sugar estate and Museum

The Sugar estate and Museum located in the North West of Mauritius stretches over 5000 square meters. In the estate you will discover the profound effect and the key part of sugar in the history and identity of Mauritius. You will also hear local sugar tales and stories on sugar in Mauritius and on its importance. As part of the sugar estate tour you can see a selection of panorama videos and films on many sugar related subjects. Also, you will have the opportunity to shop at the estate’s boutique.

Be sure not to miss this great opportunity to enjoy the tastes and purchase unique-local made special sugars, and also the very famous local made Mauritian rum!
