Though I have been often at this area, I never visited the marine park until yesterday morning.
I was very much disappointed. I consider that more professionalism and adaptation to new conditions (be it financial/economic/climatic/tourist/environmental...). We should not keep on playing victims of nature. When we have been appointed/charged with responsibilities/provided with the necessary support, either we deliver or we quit. This is not a marine park. Until it becomes one, this label must be removed.

This is probably the biggest tourist trap on this side of the island. Come to Blue Bay for the beach and the blueness of its lagoon BUT do not come for the marine park.
Most if not all of the corals are dead and from what I have heard from a few locals it was like that way before the Wakashio leaked oil in the lagoon. A fact the authorities seem to be hiding well considering all the articles available online that are still praising the beauty of the Blue Bay marine park.
The people who gave it 5 stars probably have never seen fishes in their natural habitat and were satisfied with that or just could not tell the difference between live and dead corals.

We drove down the coast road from Belle Mare to Blue Bay beach to do some snorkeling. The drive was quite pretty. We had not pre-booked a snorkeling trip, and hoped to try our luck when we got there. It was a Sunday, so lots of locals were at the beach, and finding parking was a bit challenging, but it worked out fine. We immediately found someone to take us out on a glass-bottom boat into one of the designated reef areas. I'd read some comments that the reef was quite damaged, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much we saw. There was new coral growth, and we saw tropical fish we had not seen in other areas of Mauritius. Also a sea turtle!

Wow, this marine park is just amazing. We first took a boat ride over to the lighthouse and got a beautiful view of the reef from above the water. The next day we donned our snorkel Mask and fins and spent the next 2 days exploring. Beautiful coral formations and lots and lots of fish.

The Marine Park is amazing by glass bottom boat or to snorkle off a boat, just north of the marine park is amazing snorkling too. Between Blue Bay and Pointe D'esny, just swimming and snorkling there is amazing coral and ocean life to experience. And you can just walk in from the beach snorkle for as long as you want.

Unfortunately - like most of the snorkeling excursions on the island - the powers that be in Mauritius are not managing their eco-tourism very well and it's contributing to the destruction of the coral and what makes this place so desirable to begin with. If you don't snorkel then you might want to take a glass bottom boat ride out to the small roped off area of the lagoon at Blue Bay and see the coral from a boat but if you go out this way to snorkel you're going to spend more time dodging all the people who are in the water swarming like fish fighting for their glimpse of some coral or fish. This isn't a legitimate way to see the beauty that was once here. Follow the advice of the other reviewers and FOR FREE go right off of the beach at the jetty behind the Blue Beryl Guesthouse and you'll find an underwater paradise for real snorkeling. There's a bit of current but anybody can handle it with some common sense. It's shallow in places so be careful not to step on the coral and damage it. The fish here are amazing as well. Swim from the point parallel to the beach AWAY from the cove and the tourist traffic. No boat needed. TAKE YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT - INCLUDING FINS. If you want to buy equipment there take the 20 minute drive to Centre De Flaq shopping mall and you'll find it for sale in the grocery store at a very reasonable price.

We just returned from Mauritius, and of all the spots we have been to, this is one of my favorites:
Because of the many species of coral in the park (I believe, over 50 species of coral – some of them unique to the park), clear waters, and skippers with great knowledge about flora and fauna of the ocean.
All that in a combination of glass bottom boat and snorkeling, if you want.
Access to the underwater park is by glass bottom boat from the jetty at Blue Bay Public Beach.
Simply go there and ask, when one of the boats is leaving and how much it will cost. (should be somewhere around 400/500 Rs per person – try to negotiate for a good price)
The tour – including snorkeling – lasts about 1 hr.
There are also little “desks” set up in the park where you can book your trip with various operators.
They will also do other tours with you upon request – just ask.
(In case you inquire one day and go back the next, you might find your operator in a slightly different location, because they are all on a rotating schedule – which I find great and fair for all of them.)
I do recommend and urge everyone to take a glass bottom boat at least once in this wonderful park.
Attention to all you penny pinchers out there (and we are “cheapos”, too):
a) No, you do not have to take a glass bottom boat, but then you will be confined to the public beach swimming area which is clearly marked by yellow buoys – and the Mauritius Coast Guard was patrolling and getting unauthorized snorkelers out of the water when we were there!
As well, in the swimming area, there is simply nothing to see.
Plus: You will have to guard your belongings (thefts…).
b) Also, please, note that the owner of these boats has not only the cost of fuel and maintenance of the boat, but they all have to have authorization from the Tourism Ministry of Mauritius and pay various fees to have and operate their boats there. (The same is true for other places around the island.) So, be fair in thinking about how much this boat ride is worth to you.
c) You are getting a knowledgeable skipper with lots of explanations about flora and fauna of the area. Only because of that did we actually begin to understand and appreciate corals. Before that we only looked at fish, but did not really get how fascinating it is to have this great variety of species of coral in this underwater garden, too. This gave us a completely different perspective of all the snorkeling spots that we had visited!
d) If you really do not want to take the boat, try to find an accommodation that has access to snorkeling areas. We had that, too, and basically fell from our bed right into a paradise of snorkeling.
My personal take on other travelers reporting about dead corals:
In the park itself (that you can reach only by glass bottom boat) there are dead LOOKING corals that are perfectly fine and alive, e.g. Elkhorn Coral or Leaf Lettuce Coral.
Some of these ancient, giant corals simply have that greyish color or they appear grey depending on the incoming light.
Perhaps these travelers went snorkeling not IN the park with a glass bottom boat, but simply around their hotels where, unfortunately, all of us contribute to damaging a reef by all our watersports.
As well, do remember that nature does damage to itself, too.
However, I, personally, saw a lot of nice and alive coral in their ecosystem in Blue Bay Marine Park.
All of the above are also a reason why a big area of the Blue Bay Marine Park can only be looked at from a glass bottom boat – it needs to be undisturbed in order to be preserved and continue to flourish.
Once again:
I encourage everyone to take a glass bottom boat ride and go snorkeling at least once while you are there.
Bottom line:
A nice park of the underwater world with a small entrance fee.

Blue Bay must have been stunning once if the giant skeletons of long dead coral are anything to go by. As far as we could ascertain there is still no management plan in place for the park and apart from policing of boats to check permits, it seems there is very little active management going on. Probably somewhere between 75-90% of the coral is dead..... this seems to be the result of construction, firstly of the hotel, quite unbelievably, built on the coral atoll (Ilot Des Deux Cocos) in the bay, and the associated dock on the land side and secondly by the extension to the airport's runway.... both project caused enormous amounts of silt to be washed over the coral leading eventually to huge die back...... The bay is situated right at the end of the runway and the planes roar over head on a regular basis from early morning until later into the evening.
There are still fish.... the ever present sergeant fish and a few other reef species but certainly not in the abundance that must have thrived there once. The glass bottom boats and snorkelling boats still charge back and forth across the bay (not that carefully or slowly sometimes) and tend to throw food into the sea to get the fish swarming around the boat or snorkellers..... I guess if you've never snorkelled or seen anywhere pristine then you may be impressed by this. There are some anemones, including some quite large ones in places, and there are numerous small ones in crevices in the damselfishes' algae gardens.
The best places we found to snorkel (at hide tide and watching out for nips from the aggressive and territorial damselfish) were between the dock for the hotel and the coast guard station, quite close to the shoreline. There is live coral in this area, although some of it shows signs of boat and/or trampling damage. There is also more live coral if you swim out to the reef from the shore if the waves aren't crashing over too badly, but there are two things to watch for if you do this.... first is the boats flying up and down between the shore and the reef, so if you do swim out make sure that you have a buoy or marker.... (We improvised and used children's footballs that were still in their nets fastened onto us with nylon string.... the other thing is that there can be a bit of a pull from left to right when the tide is going out and a lot of water is coming over the reef. If you are snorkelling around the atoll then don't venture too far towards the outlet as again there can be a bit of a pull here at times. The difference in lowest and highest tide is less than a metre but does make the difference to being able to swim over parts of the coral or not.
The water temperature is great but there can be cold areas (with poor visibility)c near the shore as a lot of fresh water seeps out and up from the porous rocks. Be watchful for scorpion fish (stonefish) close to the shoreline as we did see them when we were coming back in from snorkelling several times.
Something else to watch for unfortunately is theft from the beach... if, like us, you plan to snorkel for a while and from the shore then be very careful what you leave on the beach, especially early in the morning, I think the guys that clean the beach first thing may have stolen shoes, a fin bag and other bits and pieces from us whilst we were out of sight....
The best time to snorkel there is first thing in the morning before the boats start plying their trade and stirring all the sand up and before the sun gets too strong. We found the best place to snorkel from was to turn left when you got onto the beach and walk as far along the beach as you can get, swim round to the left, passed the hotel's boat dock (watching for their numerous boats) and then head towards the coast guard station.... the best coral is there a short distance from the shore. If you swim passed the coast guard station along the shore towards the markers there are a large shoals of fish. Despite there supposedly being a ban on fishing, we did come across several cage traps in the park.
The best thing that we saw was an amazingly colourful (and rare) sea slug (no photo unfortunately) and it was worth the constant damselfish attack to see it..... on the damsel fish, some do peck at you (quite hard sometimes) but mostly they bat you with their tail whilst making a tapping sound, we found just saying 'boo' to them quite loudly (with your snorkel in) quite effective..... certainly gave us the chance to take photos on their turf!
There are signs of coral regeneration, which is positive, but without stronger management of the park and the policing of users, it may not be enough to allow the park to return to its former glory.
We were so disappointed with the state of the coral in the marine park (and we were there for a month) that we hired a car and dipped in and out along the entire coast looking for places to snorkel. Flic en Flac was good at low tide and if it wasn't too windy and wavy but again there is a lot of freshwater pushing up in places and with that comes the fast growing corals, damselfish and their algae gardens.
In other places, such as Belle Mare etc there is just too much speedboat activity to be able to snorkel from the shore safely. The best places we found were down on the south west coast.... and up at Lafayette on the east coast. Although given the closeness of the reef in both locations the tide can blast you along the shoreline at high tide and the water, although calmer, can be too shallow too swim across the coral at low tide.

We hired a boat called Peter Pan owned by Silver - it was the highlight of our holiday, he had fantastic local knowledge, made sure we were all safe when snorkelling, was a delight to spend the day with a host who's only goal was to make sure we had an amazing day, we saw a water fall, feed wild monkeys from the boat, went to a few wonderful islands and had a picnic on a beach, snorkelled, Silver was great with our kids, felt like we had made a friend by the end of the day! Thanks Silver

I came here for snorkeling, since "Marine Park" sounded like a protected area and thus like nice colorful coral and fish. Unfortunately, the expression Marine Park is a bad joke. I assume they just keep it for business matters, as I didn't see any living coral. Additionally, I didn't noticed any effort to prevent this "National Park" from further destruction, as a mass of tourism boats are cruising over the dead corals trying to find some fish.
There was much more marine life in the more shallow areas in front of the jetty at blue beryl guest house in the east outside the bay, but that's no part of the actual "marine park".
In addition, boat owners try to tell people that it is not possible to swim directly to the coral and you would need a boat to get there. That is definitely not true. I you are a decent swimmer, just walk to the western end of the beach and swim right out to the deeper part of the coral reef that's maybe 100m in front of the rocky areas. Going to this cemetery by glass-bottom boat is definitely not worth it and will lead to further destruction.
So here is some advice: Save your money and walk to the jetty that's in front of Blue Beryl guest house. Enter the water directly from the beach or jetty and you'll see much more coral and fish than inside the bay, where marine traffic of the tourism industry has created a cemetery of dead coral while it is still trying to make money out of it.

Written 4 February 2018
The best snorkeling I have had on Mauritius was on the Southeastern Coast of Blue Bay. I had been briefly to the Seychelles and can't speak as well to it.
Because of rising water temperatures, coral is dying all over the world. It is really sad. The fish are around but not as 20 years ago.

Dubito che tu abbia visitato la barriera corallina.
Le onde rendono difficile l'avvicinamento, è pericoloso.
Le immersioni non si fanno all'interno ma all'esterno (al largo) di Blue Bay.

Is it possible to snorkel straight from the beach? Everyone mentions boat trips - we are experienced snorkellers and can cover large distances, would it be possible to swim out to where the boats are? Thank you!
Written 23 August 2017
Certainly you can snorkel from the beach, but about 15m from the beach there' a safety line you can't swim over because of boat traffic. You may arrange a snorkeling trip with a boat in other close beaches where there are less boats crossing. Have fun!

I am looking at mauritius for a holiday, we love snorkelling (having been divers) and chilling out, reading, sightseeing, good food, friendly and sun! i am a little concerned by the reviews about the corals and lack of fish. Had the same issue at the great barrier reef so do not want to spend lots of money to see dead coral and a few fish!! would love to swim with whale sharks, dolphins etc but only in the wild!
Any help would be gratefully received
Written 29 February 2016
Hi there,
Blue Bay is definitely NOT the place for open sea fish sightings. However, Mauritius has several operators who specialize in going outside the reefs and lagoons, where you can interact with large sea life. Some of the boat tours within the extensive lagoons, also go to the inner edge of the reef, but water there is very shallow in places on top of table corals, and you see few fish, though the coral is much healthier than closer to the beaches. Hope this helps.
