Experience Boat Tours in Mauritius

Fun things to do in Mauritius: Chic and feels like you're in paradise. That’s Mauritius. What can possibly draw you away from the beaches and resorts? The sand dunes at Charmarel Seven Coloured Earth Geopark or the bustling Port Louis with its waterfront and central market? For something a little different, you may want to head for Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolan Botanical gardens, a place brimming with exotic plants. Also, Black River Gorges National Park is a fantastic spot for picnicking and hiking.

Best time to visit Mauritius: For the best of the weather, well, the temperatures, then you’ll want to head here towards the end of the year. October through December is the best time. It’s hot and the skies are blue!

Catch the bus, but not at night: Although the bus service is reasonably convenient during the daytime. At night, it’s a different proposition. Most bus operators stop after 7 pm in the evening, so ok, you may get to a place, but coming back could be tricky!

• Mauritius and its islands were formed around 9 million years ago. That’s considered to be relatively young! Formed from the lava that spewed from underwater volcanoes.

• You’ll find that English and French are the most widely spoken languages on the island. There is a local dialect called Mauritian Creole. It’s derived from French and has African influences.

• Keep your eyes peeled for the Pink Pigeon. It’s rare and will be found in the lush green forests on the island. Seeing one may prove tricky, but you never know!
