Snorkel, dive, swim
For the water lovers, you won’t have to fight with the mountain person in your life. Mauritius does it all.

A scuba experience would typically cost Rs 4000, while catarman cruises might cost Rs 2500.
Once completely abandoned in the 1500s, today it is a mini-India. Being the second-biggest Hindi-speaking land, Mauritius is like a second skin for travellers. In fact, while you are in awe of the waterfalls tucked away in the tropical lands, you will be amazed by what you can see from above.
A waterfall that falls into the ocean, Mauritius is truly for adventure seekers. Perfect between October and May, this is the ideal time for the summer getaway you have been putting off for ‘next year’.
Hikes, sunrises, and adventures
If you are a mountain person and want to witness seven colours of sand, this is your spot. Purple, red, and violet, Mauritius sands are no less than nature’s own canvas, and if you love to trek, start your day by hiking up to the Chamarel Waterfall and Tamarind Falls. Perfect for a group of beach people, as they will be rewarded with freshwater adventure sports.
On lazy days, you can experience breathtaking sunsets or enjoy a meal by the beach. But if you’re in the mood for getting your steps in while you vacation at the heart of the tropical wonderland, visit Black River Gorges National Park for a thrilling day out.
