Travel Info Im going to Mauritius next month, what things should i see there? Travel Tips Here are a few suggestions to enjoy your stay in Mauritius: VIEWS: For a spectacular 360-degree view of Port Louis and the north, climb Le Pouce or 鈥榯he thumb', at 812m. It is an easy 2-hour climb from the village of La Laura, and takes another 2 hours to walk into Port Louis. TOUR THE MOKA MOUNTAINS by quad bike, horse or 4-wheel drive at the accessible 1,500-hectare nature park of Domaine Les Pailles. Travel to the sugar mill and rum distillery by train or horse-drawn carriage before dining in one of four restaurants. HEAD TO GRAND BAIE, for watersports such as parasailing, an underwater walk, submarine and semi-submersible scooters, or to La Cuvette, a long silky beach with clear water between Grand Baie and Cap Malheureux, for sailing, windsurfing and waterskiing. SWIM at the northern beaches such as Trou aux Biches, shaded by casuarinas, Mont Choisy, a 2km narrow white stretch of sand curving north from there, and P茅reyb猫re, a little cove between Grand Baie and Cap Malheureux. DIVING on the west coast around Flic-en-Flac or in the north, at Trou aux Biches or the Northern Islands from November to April. SPEEDBOAT from Trou d'eau Douce to the popular island playground of Ile aux Cerfs for beaches, golf and watersports. Or, for a quieter day, a catamaran to the Northern Islands - Gabriel Island, Flat Island and Gunner's Quoin. HIKE in the Black River Gorges National Park, a 6,794-hectare forest, to see indigenous plants, birds and wildlife. Black River Peak trail goes to Mauritius' highest mountain, while the Maccabee Trail starts nearby and plunges into the gorge to Black River. Enjoy an adventurous lunch and one of the best island views, at Domaine du Chasseur's alfresco Panoramour Restaurant. This domain is the best place to glimpse the Mauritius kestrel in the wild. LA VANILLE R脡SERVE DES MASCAREIGNES is commonly referred to as 鈥楾he Crocodile Park', for its thousands of Nile crocodiles. It is the only place worldwide to breed aldabra tortoises and also has deer, monkeys, boar and an insectarium. WATERFALLS Tamarind Falls on the Interior portion of the island is an incredible string of about 7 waterfalls surrounds by green mountains and is tucked away beyond a sugar cane filled. THE AAPRAVASI GHAT historical site is an important symbol of Mauritian identity since the ancestors of more than 70% of present day Mauritian population arrived on the island through this immigrant depot. The depot's name was changed in 1987 from 鈥淐oolie Ghat鈥?to 鈥淎apravasi Ghat鈥?which in hindi means the landing place of Immigrants. (World Heritage). THE VAGRANT DEPOT is the site where immigrants found guilty of 鈥榩etty crimes鈥?or offences were sent to for imprisonment. You can also visit the museums (one in Port Louis and the other in Mahebourg). While in Mauritius you may also wish to travel to: RODRIGUES ISLAND Tiny, rugged, volcanic it lies 550km northeast of Mauritius and is known as the 鈥榓nti-stress' island. The capital, Port Mathurin, is only seven streets wide, with a Creole population. Rodrigues offers walking, diving, kitesurfing and deep sea fishing.
