The Republic of Mauritius is a tropical island situated in the warm Indian Ocean,
2 000 km off the coast of Africa. With more than 145 km's of pristine golden
beaches, gorgeous lagoons, mountains and tropical forests all surrounded by
the third largest coral reef in the world it is no wonder Mauritius is considered
the perfect holiday destination.
There are so many things to do and see and so many gorgeous places to stay whilst in Mauritius you're going to wish you had booked a lengthier sojourn.
Deep Sea Fishing
If you are interested in deep sea fishing you will be delighted by the bountiful
ocean waters surrounding the exquisite island paradise of Mauritius. Although
big game fishing is always excellent in Mauritius, anglers will want to visit
between October and April for the very best opportunities. Mauritius holds several
international and African fishing records, including that of the mako shark
of 506.8 kg's, the blue shark of 181.8 kg's, a white tuna of 101.8 kg's and
blue marlins of 615.9 kg's. Tuna, wahoo, sailfish, bonito, shark, marlin and
barracuda are but some of the species you will encounter on your Mauritian deep
sea adventure. There are several boat operators who will take you out for a
full day of spectacular scenery, awesome on board atmosphere and some of the
finest deep sea fishing you will ever experience.
Cuisine
Mauritius is a real melting pot of cultures, religions and ancestral ties and
the local cuisine has been influenced by each of these factors. Dining in Mauritius
is a gastronomic delight that allows you to experience flavours from each corner
of the globe. Mauritian menus are an eclectic mix of Asian, Indian, Chinese,
French and Creole influenced dishes. During your idyllic island holiday in Mauritius
you should attempt to experience as many of the dishes as possible. From the
curries and bryanis to the rougailles and seafood delights - the aromas and
flavours of Mauritius will not disappoint.
Golf in Mauritius
Mauritius, with its magnificent vistas and variety of courses, is a haven for
golfing enthusiasts. Most of the islands 10 courses are attached to hotels and
are either reserved exclusively for the hotel residents, residents in the neighbouring
or sister hotels or open to the public. Situated in Vacoas, the Gymkhana Club
is the oldest golf course in Mauritius and while it lacks certain of the more
modern courses complexities it is beautifully maintained and open to members
as well as visitors to the island. Designed by world renowned golfer, Bernhard
Langer the Ile aux Cerfs Golf Course is one of the most stunning courses in
the world. Situated on its own tropical islet each of the 18 holes are sea facing.
Apart form being the most beautiful course in Mauritius, it is also one of the
most challenging; but the gorgeous views, immaculate greens and great facilities
make it a favourite amongst golfing enthusiasts. Designed by South African champion
Hugh Baiocchi, the 18-hole Legend Golf course, is another of the islands golfing
hotspots not to be missed. There are 10 superior courses in Mauritius and golfing
enthusiasts will have a ball trying their hand at each and every one. Choose
from the Maritim, Shandrani and Paradis Hotel Golf Courses, the Heritage Golf
& Spa Resort, the Links Golf Course and the Trou aux Biches Golf course.
Marine Life
Mauritius is as gorgeous off land as it is on. The ocean surrounding the idyllic
holiday spot is teeming with exotic marine life. To experience sights like tropical
fish and weaving eels and some of the oceans most magnificent coral beds all
you will need is a pair of flippers and a snorkel. Undoubtedly one of the best
ways to experience this magical underwater kingdom is by submarine. A submarine
tour operator on the island will introduce you to the beautiful and mystic world
of shipwrecks and life under water. An absolute treat is the Under Sea Walk
during which you can experience the thrill of walking on the sea bed, in absolute
safety.
Some Tourist Attractions
The Jardin Botanique de Pamplemousses (Jewel of the crown) gardens are internationally
renowned amongst naturalists for the sheer number of indigenous and exotic plants
species. The Bird Garden of Casela is home to 140 bird species from throughout
the world. The gardens main attraction is the Mauritian Pink Pigeon, one of
the rarest birds in the world and one which is fighting to avoid extinction.
The Aquarium is another of the Mauritian hotspots, home to over 200 species
of fish, invertebrates, corals and sponges visitors who are weary of going under
the water will be able to view their world on dry land. The Vanille Crocodile
& Tortoise Park is another of Mauritius' eco attractions and is not to be
missed.
The Tamarin Falls are undoubtedly one of the islands major attractions. Although
difficult to reach the gorgeous series of seven waterfalls is definitely worth
the trip. The Waterpark; with loads of fun water activities and fantastic restaurants,
is a hit amongst young old. There are also a range of sublime beaches, museums,
monuments, shopping centres, restaurants and pubs scattered across the island.
