Mauritius Snorkeling & Marine Life Education

In collaboration with our marine education specialist and global conservation partner, WiseOceans, our Marine Education Program aims to educate guests of all ages about marine life and the importance of protecting our oceans. The WiseOceans team are always ready to engage in marine life conversation at the Coral Cabana on Bambou Beach.

For more adventurous excursions, guests can enjoy dedicated payable marine activities that highlight the surrounding marine environment. As part of the Resort’s wider Environmental Conservation Program, WiseOceans carries out continuous screening of the coral reef’s health in the surrounding lagoon, with all collected data being submitted to global databases on an ongoing basis.

REEF RESTORATION: Alongside the Resort, WiseOceans oversees La Passe Cadet Reef Restoration Project. In partnership with the Ministry of Fisheries, WiseOceans identified the location of this underwater nursery and, since 2018, has worked to rescue broken fragments of coral that are then prepared for recovery and re-growth, before being transplanted back to the reef once they reached a suitable size. Guests may join complimentary, weekly coral gardening sessions at the Coral Cabana to learn more. La Passe Cadet Reef Restoration Project aims to restore 10,000 square metres (100,000 square feet) of reef.
