The corals of the Blue Bay have been around for thousands of years; the diversity of life found here is unique and makes these corals a very valuable natural heritage for all of human kind. It is this diversity that makes it essential for any visitor to check out the Blue Bay Marine Park. The corals are located at a depth of about 5.5 meters and contain 50 different species of corals as well as fish and other marine animals. However, this precious heritage today lies on very uncertain grounds, because of excessive fishing and land development. Nonetheless, a visit to this place is a must to complete the experience of the island.

Since 1985, the Vanille Réserve des Mascareignes is a nature park that is home to a variety of reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish and invertebrates of the Mascarene Islands. The park also has an insectarium that boasts about 23,000 species of insects. If you love reptiles, then this place is definitely a must-visit, as they have Nile Crocodiles and Giant Turtles, the oldest being 90 years old and weighing about 275 kg. Besides the animals, the park also has an abundance of vegetation, almost like a rainforest inside it. However, if you are an animal-lover, then you might be disappointed by the park's restaurant, Le Crocodile Affame, which serves crocodile meat. Do see the website for more information.
