Planning things to do in Mauritius
Mauritius sits in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar and is ringed by a lagoon, which makes water activities calm and family-friendly. Catamaran day cruises, glass-bottom boats, snorkelling, kitesurfing at Le Morne and early-morning dolphin watching at Tamarin Bay are all easy to arrange.
Inland, the south-west holds Chamarel's coloured earths and waterfall, Black River Gorges National Park, the sacred lake at Grand Bassin and tea routes. Port Louis adds the Central Market, Aapravasi Ghat and Caudan Waterfront, while the north around Grand Baie is the busiest base for nightlife and boat departures.
