Top 5 Things To Do In Mauritius In 2022

Mauritius is an island country to the east of Madagascar on the Indian Ocean. With its pristine white sandy beaches, crystal blue waters, lavish restaurants and luxury resorts, Mauritius is an ideal place to shake off the pandemic blues and enjoy a great vacation.

These are our 5 picks for activities you can do in Mauritius:

1) Visit the Le Morne Heritage Site: A UNESCO world heritage site, Le Morne is a symbolic icon of the country’s vast history. The heritage site is a mountain that surrounds the Indian Ocean and is primarily a slice of the history of slavery and the fight against oppression. We highly recommend you hike to the Memorial Cross summit under the guidance of a professional guide and enjoy the panoramic view from the summit.

2) Explore Pereybere Beach: Being an island nation, there is no dearth of beautiful beaches in this country. However, one beach stands out above the rest: Pereybere Beach. Peyerbere Beach, known for its calm sea and serene environment, is a great place for swimming, even for children and inexperienced swimmers. The beach is only 150 metres long and is dotted with lovely resorts. You can also participate in a variety of water activities at this beach. Don’t forget to plan a full day at Pereybere beach to take advantage of everything this destination has to offer.

3) Visit Chamarel Waterfalls: This scenic attraction, Mauritius’ highest waterfall, is delightful and a must-see if you’re in Mauritius. The Chamarel waterfalls, which is 83 metres high, is formed by the St. Denis River. The waterfalls and surrounding gorges are surrounded by lush green vegetation, creating a spectacular sight. The waterfalls can be seen from both the lower and upper viewpoints of Black River National Park.

4) Visit China Town: The hub of Chinese culture and cuisine in Mauritius, China Town is famous for its Chinese restaurants and white, red and blue wooden shop fronts. The Town is filled with shops selling exotic Chinese goods for reasonable prices. Every year the Town hosts an exclusive food festival that is a celebration of Chinese culture.

5) Go Hiking at Corps De Garde: A hike at Corps De Garde provides views of the La Ferme reservoir, the ocean, and the scenic landscape that surrounds it. The view of La Ferme Waterfall, plunging down to the reservoir, is the highlight of the hike. The trail to the summit is well worn and easy to follow. Because the path does not provide any shade, it is recommended that you begin your hike early in the day.
