Mauritius is the most accessible
island in the Indian Ocean, boasting as much tropical paradise
as Maui or Martinique and, better still, offering it at a
bargain price. Though nestled up alongside Africa, it's actually
more influenced by its British and Fr
ench
ties and massive Indian workforce.
Activities:
- Mauritius is a prime
diving spot and the many dive centres offer excursions to
shipwrecks and dive sites.
- Big Game fishing is
from October to April and potential catches include marlin,
espadon, tuna and the big wahoo.
- Mauritius is ideal
for watersports. Offshore breezes provide ideal conditions
for windsurfing and sailing and the sheltered bays are perfect
for water skiing and kayaking.
- The golf enthuiast
will be happy to know that quite a few of the hotels have
their own golf courses. Belle Mare Plage, Le Prince Maurice,
Trou aux Biches, Shandrani, Paradis, and Dinarobin
- Walking is often the
best way to explore the island. Walk along unspolit beaches
like Pointe Aux roches, and discover the beautiful botanical
Gardens known as Pamplemousses - 62 acres in total! The
Black River Gorges National Park also offers some excellent
walks.
