While on vacation in Mauritius, visit some truly exceptional sites and capture the beautiful moments through a unique and creative underwater photo shoot session.

The underwater photography session consists of a boat trip to pristine and beautiful spots off the south west coast such as Le Morne, Crystal Rock, lagoons and the deep sea. You will first embark on a 45-minute boat trip to discover the unspoilt beauty of the south west coast of Mauritius and will then have a 1-hour or 2-hour underwater photoshoot in the locations of your choice.

The cruise will be done on a private speed boat along the west coast which is considered one of the most beautiful areas, and a must-see place to visit when in Mauritius.

Discover the dolphins of Tamarin bay, visit the famous Crystal Rock which stands out in the middle of the lagoon, or marvel at the spectacular view of the Rempart Mountain, the Black River mountain range and of the magnificent Le Morne Mountain. You may even have the opportunity to enjoy a swim in the sea which is a great way to have a glimpse at the mesmerizing marine life and the underwater world of Mauritius. The skipper on-board will provide you with all information regarding the key sites, as well as reveal some hidden idyllic locations in the lagoon.

To add a splash of excitement to your vacation, an underwater photography session is also offered. You may choose to head to the iconic and beautiful Le Morne beach, fringed with casuarina trees, white coral sand and crystal clear water. The waters here provide great visibility and amazing scenery with the UNESCO heritage site, Le Morne Mountain in the backdrop- simply perfect for a great photo shoot session!

Another interesting spot is the famous Crystal rock which stands out in the middle of the turquoise blue lagoon. It offers a spectacular views of the Rempart Mountain, the Black River mountain range, and the magnificent Le Morne Mountain in the backdrop which serves as the ideal picture-postcard location.
