Boatmen and small operators on Le Morne public beach offer 1–2 hour snorkelling trips to the coral patches of the lagoon, often combined with a glass-bottom view and a stop near the famous 'underwater waterfall' reef edge. The water is clear and calm in the morning, before the kitesurfers take over the lagoon.
It's the closest boat snorkelling to the villa, and a nice complement to a Le Morne beach day.
