Things to do & see

Whether you enjoy relaxing on the beaches, cruising to an island or visiting inland, Mauritius has many delightful and varied sights to offer - of which a small few are listed below...

Churches, Mosques and Temples

The Mauritians are proud of their multicultural society and heritage. The striking cultural diversities encompass Indian, African, Chinese and European nation and embrace a religious harmony. Colourful Chinese pagodas, elaborately decorated Hindu temples and Islamic mosques intermingle with Christian churches throughout the island.

Festivals, often designated public holidays, reflect the religious diversity. Please show due respect when visiting religious places. Wear appropriate clothing and remove leather shoes and belts when entering the premises.

Coastal Excursions and Inland Excursions

Cruises is an unforgettable way to experience a relaxing day skimming the emerald waters on a luxurious schooner or spacious catamaran. Trips are available to several of the small island off the coast of Mauritius, most being designated nature reserves.

Inland excursions can be organised to view the picturesque waterfalls set in the volcanic ranges.

Public Gardens - are scattered all over the island, but the most famous are the pamplemousses gardens. The gardens are known to naturalists throughout the world for their large collection of indigenous and exotic plants, including the giant Victoria region water lilies and many species of palm trees of particular interest is the talipot palm, which is said to flower once every sixty years and thereafter die.

Bois Cherie - is the location of a vast tea plantation stretching as far as the eye can see, amidst the lush vegetation of Mauritius. A guided tour of the factory is fascinating and demonstrates how the world's favourite beverage is made and processed.

Rochester Falls - Located on the south of the island between the cane fields and beaten tracks, the gorges appear. Picturesque  falls cascade over vertical columns of basalt, created by constant erosion, to an inviting natural pool.

The predominant volcanic rock and ash, eroded by the elements in the undulating hill, have created multi-coloured landscape, violet, red, blue and yellow earths are starting, as is the nearby chamarel waterfall which plunges 83 mts into a deep clear pool, set in lush vegetation.
