For many years now Mauritius has been a
byword for paradise – for palm-fringed beaches, natural beauty
beyond belief and the most laidback, relaxing holidays on the planet.
It’s popularity for honeymooning couples and others in search of
the perfect getaway is not without good reason. It really does feel
like heaven on earth, from the moment you land and throughout the
duration of your stay.
Of course, to maximise what you get out
of any holiday, a certain amount of planning should be put in
beforehand. And that’s why we’re here to make a few
recommendations regarding what to include in any Mauritius tour
package that you plan:
Port Louis – it’s inevitable that
your trip will begin here, as it’s where your plane will no doubt
land. The Blue Penny Museum is well worth a visit. Opened in 2001,
this art and history museum takes you through the exploration and
colonisation of the past, giving great insight into days gone by.
It’s also worth taking a look around Central Market, Champ de Mars
Racecourse and Aapravasi Ghat, which once used to be the island’s
main immigration depot.
Domaine de L’Etoile – this was once
a sugar estate which has now been turned into a holiday cum adventure
park of sorts. This natural enclave of abundant greenery sits between
imposing mountains and the beauty of the ocean. Here it’s possible
to take part in all kinds of activities. Quad biking, horse riding,
trekking, mountain biking and archery are just a few of the things
you can get involved with.
Belle Mar Beach – no trip to
Mauritius can really be complete without spending at least one day on
the beach. If you like long stretches of almost-white sands then
Belle Mare, on the east coast of the main Mauritius island is perfect
for you. Here there are plenty of great hotels in which to stay, and
some fantastic restaurants. There’s also the opportunity for a
round of golf at the local course.
These are our top recommendations, but
in your Mauritius tour package you might also like to include Troux
aux Cerfs, Black River Gorges National Park, Ganga Talao, Tamarind
Falls and Pieter Both.
