Lagoon
Guided boat departures from the hotel beach reach a shallow lagoon with patch coral, so it suits calm-day snorkeling rather than a big-reef dive.
About Le Morne/Riu Hotel
Le Morne/Riu Hotel is a relaxed lagoon snorkel on Mauritius' southwest coast, reached by a guided departure from the hotel beach into sheltered water around Le Morne Brabant. Expect patchy coral, seagrass and sandy gaps rather than a dramatic wall, with calm mornings giving the easiest sessions, the clearest water and the best chance of turtles.
