Mauritius Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Emily Fitzsimons - Mauritius expert
Emily Fitzsimons

Take some time to explore the island - head over to Chamarel where you have a waterfall, the 7 coloured earth and rum tasting!

Zoe Milton - Mauritius expert
Zoe Milton

Mauritius is renowned for having amazing beaches, but little known Black River Gorge National Park is also well worth a visit. Once you're high up in the mountains, the views across the island and out to sea are stunning!

Peter Douglas - Mauritius expert
Peter Douglas

We went on a day trip to experience the beautiful and wild south of the island and were blown away by the beautiful greenery and passion for the island that the locals have. Seven Coloured Earth caused by volcanoes, sugar cane providing over 40% of the islands electricity as well as being a chief export, rum tasting, snorkelling with tropical fish, views down over the black river gorge with waterfalls catching the sun as they tumble below from the height of the statue of liberty... and this was all just in seven hours!
