Mauritius is an island blessed with natural beauty, panoramic views and a marine life to die for! If you are looking for adventure amidst nature then this is your perfect place. Feast your eyes with breathtaking scenery while you experience an adventure packed trip to one of the most beautiful islands in the world.

The island of Mauritius

A mesmerizing mix of Indian, Chinese, Hindu, African and European influences, the Mauritius Island is a destination that will amaze even the most discerning travellers. Home to world-class scuba diving spots, super hiking trails, adrenalin pumping adventure activities, Mauritius is a dreamy delight to visitors. The lush beaches that encircle the island are just as seen in holiday brochures. It is also home to the third largest coral reef of the world covering almost the entire island.

The underwater beauty of Mauritius is widely popular and once you hop out of water another interesting list of things awaits. Mauritians are famous for their welcoming and generous nature making it a delight to mingle with the local community. English and French are the widely spoken languages making it easier for visitors to communicate with locals. You can also go explore the island on foot, which is the best way to commute here.

Getting there

A valid passport and a return air ticket are required to enter the island. On arrival, a visitor visa will be issued which will be valid up to one month. An extension can be received from the passport and immigration office. International flights land at the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport.

Adventure activities in the island

Mauritius Island is paradise for adventure junkies. You can do a 60 second free-fall from a plane and plunge softly onto the ground on a parachute — the skydiving seen in the island is ever so popular. Take a biking challenge on the rough terrain of the mountains. The oceanic adventures are endless with adrenalin pumping activities such as scuba scoot, parasailing, water skiing, sea kayaking and much more.

Adventure activities can be reserved once reaching the island. Usually a beach resort in Mauritius including ones such as InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort organizes adventure tours for visitors.

Adventure activities

Scuba Scooting
Scuba scooting is almost the same as scuba diving the only difference is that you will be on a scooter underwater. You have a chance to get up close on the massive coral reefs as well as the myriad of fish in the ocean.

Quad Biking
The Frederica Nature Reserve has a splendid quad biking seen. You can ride through massive sugar cane plantations as a practice routine. The four wheels on the bike make it more powerful and fun to ride!

Snorkeling
Whether you are on an adventure trip or not, you simply cannot leave Mauritius without snorkeling. If you are a beginner then take some lessons before you go. It’s an amazing experience since the world underwater is simply out of this world and well worth exploring.
