Fancy combining relaxation, swimming and a bit of fitness for your next aquatic experience in Mauritius? Then, how about discovering step paddling during a guided excursion with snorkelling in a coral garden at La Preneuse? Equipped with a pedalling system, the step paddle doesn't involve the upper body, as is the case with the classic stand-up paddle, which uses a paddle, but works the whole of the lower body. With your hands firmly attached to the handlebars on the board, all you have to do is activate the stepper under your feet to navigate the water! It is an easy activity, accessible to all levels, whether you are sporty or not, from the age of 12.
On this guided step paddle excursion at La Preneuse, you will reach a coral garden in the bay of Rivière Noire in just 15 to 20 minutes on your SUP board. This will be your chance to find out more about the underwater biodiversity of Mauritius, not only with the help of your certified guide's knowledge, but also thanks to the fact sheets you will be given containing lots of information about the fish and corals that live in the lagoon on the west side of the island. What's more, you will have the pleasure of snorkelling in this coral garden with a mask and snorkel for 30 minutes, ideal for observing all this underwater life up close!
Then, to round off your stand-up paddle and snorkelling excursion at La Preneuse in style, you will stop off at the Moon Bar'k, a floating bar offering a unique setting for a snack! You will be able to relax there for around 1 hour, enough time to regain your strength before sailing back to the departure beach. All in all, you will have spent almost 2.5 hours at sea, in an incredibly friendly atmosphere, thanks to the small group of no more than 4 participants. So, whether you are with friends or family, be sure to book your places for this SUP adventure at La Preneuse, which will offer you an unforgettable outing on the superb lagoon of West Mauritius!
