“Mauritius was made first and then heaven; heaven was copied after Mauritius.” Mark Twain, an American writer, wrote a famous quote describing the Island’s beauty.
This piece of land was born due to volcanic activity approximately 10 million years ago. Then, the volcanic lava cooled to form the Mauritius that we see today.
Of course, Mauritius is an Island with endless sandy beach options, but the land offers far more, including breathtaking treks, lush nature reserves, exotic caves, and several waterfalls.
And by the end of this article, you will know the wide variety of things to do in Mauritius. Let’s commence!
Here are the Activities to Do in Mauritius
This blog will be an ultimate guide to exploring Mauritius, from must-visit attractions and must-try experiences to insider tips that were gathered from locals and travellers.
Hang Out with the Animals in Casela
Casela Nature Park is a nature and adventure park without walls. It’s a type of place where animals roam around freely while tourists visit them and go on adventure rides like ziplining and rollercoasters. One of the best places to visit in Mauritius with family.
This spot is for everyone, but you’ve got kids? And they are going with you to Mauritius? Don’t think twice, take them to the Casela Nature Park. The park offers different activities, but the main attraction is the jungle safari. You and your little ones will get to see Zebras, Ostriches, Deer and Giraffes up close.
If you are more daring, head into the lion feeding section. You did read it right; you can actually touch and feed those lions, but only under the watchful eyes of the trained staff.
Later, you can ride on the Tulawaka rollercoaster, which twists through the forest, climbs hills and rushes through a short cave.
Feeling the tropical heat? Head to the ice cream corner, which serves the world’s coldest ice creams, which are stored at -195 degrees Celsius.
Before you leave, let the kids spend some time in the giant tortoise park, perfect for wrapping up a family visit at the park.
Chill on the Catamaran Cruises
To keep yourself engaged throughout the day in Mauritius, take the Catamaran cruise rides. Mauritius is tiny; however, there are tinier Islands around it to visit.
Popular destinations you can reach via the cruise include:
- Ile Gabriel and the flat Islands (North coast)
- Ile aux Cerfs (East coast)
- Ile de la Passe (East coast)
- Ile aux Aigrettes (Southeast coast)
- Ile aux Benitiers (Southwest coast)
A few cruise rides will let you snorkel in calm and safe lagoons. Go easy on the corals; don’t bother them. They are already doing their best to survive humans. However, you’ll be surrounded by tons of fish that are used to people.
Once you land on the Island, you’ll be rewarded with a sizzling barbecue lunch for surviving the ride.
Paradise views + a full tummy = bliss. Don’t worry, they’ll provide both veg and non-veg food.
Post lunch, you can either take an afternoon nap or stroll through the souvenir shops for jewellery, clothes, or else you can treat yourself to some famous Mauritius rum.
- Cost – ₹6,000 per person
- Duration– 6-8 hour ride
Stroll Around Port Louis
The capital of Mauritius must be unmissable. There are a ton of things to do in Port Louis, Mauritius. It will take you through the city, including markets, museums, waterfront restaurants, and more.
- Central Market – Visit for a variety of spices, a variety of Mauritius delicacies and more.
- Caudan Waterfront – A touristy shopping area with pop-up stalls selling souvenirs. Also home to fancy water-facing restaurants.
- Blue Penny Museum – Located inside the Caudan waterfront, it has a collection of rare stamps, including the Red and the Blue Penny.
- Apravasi Ghat – A must visit for history lovers, this UNESCO World Heritage site explains the history of immigration of people into Mauritius.
- Fort Adelaide – A 19th-century historic military fort located just a short uphill drive from the city. Visit for panoramic views of the city.
- Chinatown – A buzzing neighbourhood of cheap street food.
- Odysseo – Mauritius’s one and only aquarium with 200 species of marine life.
Tip: You might need to set aside an entire day to enjoy the city and stay close by; your feet will thank you.
Fly Above the Underwater Waterfall
The underwater waterfall is situated at the southernmost tip of Mauritius’ coast, near Le Morne Beach. It is a phenomenon that makes it look like water is descending into the ocean. Let me start by telling you that this is not an actual waterfall but a visual trick created by nature.
Spoiler: It’s science and not magic. A narrow drop is in the middle of two massive landmasses, with sand from the beach being pulled into the steep drop beneath, resembling a waterfall.
Also, you might’ve googled the spot and got overwhelming images of it, but don’t be fooled, they are AI-created or overly edited pictures. The place will look more subtle in real life.
Alright, let’s understand how to witness this area. You’ve got two options: either you fly or you hike.
Some seaplane tours, like the Lagoonflight, will take you on a stroll. Those planes are tiny. So, no, you can’t take your somebody with you. It will just be you and the pilot.
However, if you are a couple, you can rent two separate planes that fly side by side. Such a romantic thing to do in Mauritius! You can also witness the underwater waterfall and an UNESCO heritage site from up there.
- Cost: ₹ 15,000 per person (approx.)
- Duration: 15 minutes
Climb the Le Morne Brabant for the Underwater Waterfall View
Le Borne Brabant is a UNESCO World Heritage site, which is a peninsula and a mountain at the far south-western tip of Mauritius.
As we discussed earlier, you can experience the waterfall in two ways, either by flying or by hiking.
If you are under a budget and you’ve got the stamina to climb a hill literally, you’ll need to go to Le Morne Brabant. The climb will take about 1-2 hours, depending on your fitness level. The climb is divided into two parts. The first part is easy, and it takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. However, the second part, especially the final part, is going to be steep. The trail is going to be like “Surprise!”
Ladies, please ditch those heels; they won’t work here. Dress in comfortable clothes and shoes, put on some sunscreen, and leave early to avoid getting yourself grilled under the sun. And definitely avoid going during or after rain, as landslides are pretty common during those times.
You’ll be greeted with a huge metal cross and the flag of Mauritius at the top, along with one of the best views you’ll ever see in life. You might’ve questioned your life choices while climbing up, but it will be worth it after seeing the view.
An Adventurous Yet Romantic Waterfall Hike
Eau Bleue waterfall is a hidden wonder in the south-east part of Mauritius, and the only way to access it is by hiking. This will be a raw experience and not a touristy one.
Okay, I get that not a lot of people will associate romance with hiking, but this waterfall is different. Hear me out till the end.
Once you arrive at the location (thanks to Google Maps)…..you’ll see nothing. Yes, because the waterfall is hidden among trees. There are no signboards and designated parking spaces, so you’ll need to find an empty patch of land next to the road somewhere nearby.
When you figure out your parking situation, try to ask some locals for directions or look out for people emerging from the bushes; they’re probably returning from the falls. But do keep an eye out for the huge garbage trucks on the road.
Now, start your hike by entering the woods. Your best friend on the hike will be the roots of the trees, which will act as the handrails to climb up and down the trails. And of course, help your partner too. It’s supposed to be a romantic thing, remember?
After a few minutes of struggle, you’ll be jaw-dropped to see an actual blue waterfall just like the name suggests. When I was there, I saw a couple getting engaged there; it’s that beautiful and magical. You’ll definitely feel the romance between you and your loved one.
Relax at Mont Choisy
Mont Choisy is a popular beach destination in the northern part of Mauritius, just around 5 km from Grand Baie. Due to its popularity, you can expect a mix of Mauritians and foreigners.
Why visit this beach?
- Sunsets – The beach is west-facing, which means you’ll find one of the best sunsets on the island. Get your camera ready for those Instagram photos.
- Calm Water – Many people agree that the beach has shallow and tranquil waters, making it perfect for swimming.
- Facilities – Since it’s a well-desired place to be, the facilities don’t disappoint. You’ll get easy transportation here, tons of benches and laid-back chairs to turn on your lazy mode.
- Space – The beach is massive, so even on the weekend with a heavy crowd, you’ll be able to find a comfortable space for yourself.
- Shade – For all the people who don’t prefer to roast under the sun, there are plenty of trees along the backside of the beach to rest beneath.
To have a relaxed day at the beach, with some crowd and facilities around, Mont Choisy is the spot.
Excursion to the Ile Aux Cerfs
Ile Aux Cerfs is a tiny piece of paradise on the southeast coast of Mauritius. An Island famous for excursions on catamarans and speedboats among the tourists.
If you’ve got the whole day and want to do a bunch of beachy things, then you need to book a ride to the Ile Aux Cerfs. There are two departure points from the mainland of Mauritius to the Islands-
- Blue Bay- From this point, you’ll take a shorter route and get a chance to snorkel en route to Aux Cerfs.
- Trou d’Eau Douce– The ride will be a little longer, but the scenic coastal views make up for it.
Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by calm waters. The shallow waters are best for kids, so that they won’t drown. Suitable for clumsy adults, too. Just like the other Catamaran rides, you’ll be given both veg and non-veg beachside lunch.
The excursion also includes water sports on the beach, like parasailing, tube rides and a trip to the GRSE waterfall. Well, the GRSE waterfall ride is kinda special. It’s a small waterfall tucked away on the mainland of Mauritius. However, you’ll be taken on a boat through the ‘Grand River South East’.
Apart from the ride, the waterfall itself is quite beautiful, but don’t expect the boats to stop for too long; they have a schedule to keep up.
If you want to spend more time at GRSE, you have other options, such as hiking or kayaking.
From the main road near the waterfall, you can hike down to GRSE, which is just 10-15 minutes away; however, the trail might be a bit steep.
Tip: Do take a mosquito spray with you, and thank me later.
Alternatively, you can rent a kayak from hotels near the waterfall and paddle upstream along the Grand River South East, a journey that takes about 45 minutes. This way, you can have an adventurous trip and take as long as you want.
Trip to the Seven Coloured Earth and Chamarel Waterfall
Seven colored earth is a geological park in the south-eastern part of Mauritius. The park features a sandy area with dunes of different hues. The history of the Island explains the colours of the sand.
Mini Science Class:
A massive volcano erupted millions of years ago; the lava from the eruption hardened and created Mauritius, which was left with Basalt that contains iron and aluminium. Over time, the weathering of the rocks added oxides to the already existing minerals.
So, the red tints are from the Iron oxides and the blue tints are from the aluminium oxides. Fascinating how science works, isn’t it? Okay, science class is over, but don’t expect the colours to pop out too much; they’re going to be subtle. gf
Tip: The colors look much more vibrant when they’re dry. Overcast days make the earth get wet and dull.
The park has a cafe overlooking the seven colored land, and it also offers a view of Chamarel, which is the tallest waterfall on the whole Island.
- Cost: ₹ 628 per person (approx.)
- Timings: 8:30 am to 5:30 pm (Summers), 8:30 am to 5:00 pm (Winters)
Take in the Holiness of the Ganga Talao
Ganga Talao, popularly known as the Grand Bassin, is a Hindu temple situated in the Savanne region of Mauritius.
You’ll have ample amount of space to park your vehicle before heading out. As you get close to the temple, you can see two humongous guardian statues of Maa Durga and Lord Shiva, both standing dramatically tall at 33 m each.
Behind the temple lies the Ganga Talao. According to history, Lord Shiva accidentally spilled the Ganga water while flying above Mauritius. That’s one belief; the other one says that a priest once had a dream about a lake being connected to the Ganges, and he eventually found this lake. Back in 1972, he led a pilgrimage and actually poured some water from the Ganga into the Grand Bassin to sanctify it.
Whether you are religious or not, this place will give you calmness and peace of mind. Just sit next to the lake and reflect on your thoughts.
Note: Remove your shoes before entering the Kashi Vishwanath Mandir.
Click a Picture in the Sugarcane Fields
You would’ve definitely snapped pictures on the beaches and the waterfalls of Mauritius, but sugarcane fields are a landscape of their own. You’ll find them after driving for 5 minutes in Mauritius. So, don’t miss capturing those fields.
Sugarcane has been rooted in the history of Mauritius’ economy; they have been around since forever (technically since the Dutch introduced it). They are tall, green, and sway gently in the wind, providing the perfect backdrop for your pictures.
While the plantations are scattered all across the country, the sugarcane fields of the ‘Bel Ombre’ region will be hit slightly differently, especially during sunsets. So, don’t miss them.
Get an Adrenaline Rush with Quad Bikes
Bel Ombre nature reserve is not just a place for calm nature lovers but also for people looking for an adventurous thing to do in Mauritius. The nature park offers excursions on Quad bikes and Buggy rides.
Picture that you’re either on an ATV by yourself or with a partner behind you, and you just rev around the park, having one of the best times of your life. Not just you, but your teenagers will also love the ride.
You’ll be able to spot animals along your way, such as deer, boars, fruit bats, pink pigeons and those cheeky monkeys. You’ll have a guide with you to pester them with questions. He/she will take you through woods, hills, sugarcane fields and occasional crossing of waterfalls. And yeah, yeah, sure you can take some pit stops to take those photos.
- Cost: ₹ 12,000 per person (approx.)
- Duration: 2 hours
Kayak/Canoe to the Albion Caves
Do you know that there are caves in Mauritius? Albion is a village on the west coast of Mauritius and is about 15 km from the capital of Port Louis. There are a few caves off the coast of Albion that are accessible only by sea.
A few local companies, like Yemaya Adventures, offer this activity. The Kayaking session will kick start at Pointe Aux Sable, where you’ll be given a thorough crash course about the Kayak and how to ride it. Also, they’ll equip you with the basic necessities like helmets, paddles, dry bags and water shoes.
Then, it will be just you on the Kayak, paddling your way through the currents of the ocean while the sun shines and the wind blows. After paddling a bit, you’ll get close to the huge basalt rocks, which will slowly turn into a network of caves. You’ll be able to see and even paddle right through about 6-8 of these natural formations.
While the session wraps up at the Abion beach, a 97-foot-tall lighthouse will be waiting to greet you back at the shore.
- Cost: ₹ 9,000 per person (approx.)
- Duration: 3 to 4 hours
For the Mountain Biking Enthusiasts
Mo’Bike Park is the only private bike park in the whole of Mauritius, located in Chamouny. Before thinking that mountain biking is “too intense for me”, hear me out. It’s definitely a unique thing to do in Mauritius.
There are four levels of difficulty marked on those trails; you can choose one according to your skills and stamina. They also offer a shuttle to take you up to the summit, where you can cruise downhill, skipping the hard part. I’m sure you would be considering the activity now, you lazy people.
Before you set off, you’ll be given information about the trail and how to handle the bike on the trail. The company will also provide you with a bike (obviously), helmets, gloves and refreshments.
- Age: 10+ years
- Cost: ₹ 4,500 per person (approx.)
- Duration: 3 hours
The Blue Penny Museum
The Blue Penny Museum is a significant part of Mauritius because it tells the colonial history of the Island. As we discussed above, the museum is especially famous for the two rare stamps – The blue and the red penny, both of which were the first stamps produced by Great Britain, outside of Britain.
The stamps will be lit only for 5-10 minutes every day to preserve them. According to the Blue Penny museum’s official website, it is only visible 15 minutes past each opening hour.
- Cost: ₹ 600 per person (approx.)
- Timings: 10 am – 4:30 pm
Natural Marvel of Pont Naturel
Pont Naturel is a bridge look-alike in the southeast part of Mauritius. The name Pont naturel translates to ‘Natural bridge’ from French. Those dramatic rocks are the outcome of lava solidification, and the bridge was shaped due to the repeated pounding of waves.
Reaching the Pont Naturel is quite remote, and the road to it is rough. You’ll definitely need a jeep to tackle the off-roading of about 1.5 km. After driving on those broken roads, you’ll finally reach the spot, and the time at sunset will be the best to visit.
And also, a quick word of caution- This place is not a maintained tourist attraction. There are no railings, no safety nets on the bridge, and since it’s natural, the rocks are pretty rough. So, be careful on it or better avoid getting on it, especially during high tides when the waves can crash over the bridge. Don’t let your wild side go out here.
Hike the 7 Cascades
Les Seven Cascades (also known as Tamarian Falls) is a series of 7 waterfalls all tucked in the mountains near Tamarian. These waterfalls are also an excellent hiking park, so do carry those hiking shoes.
When you enter the parking lot, expect to be surrounded by a ton of guides offering to take you to the falls.
However, here’s the thing. You might not need a guide for the first 3-4 falls, but the trail gets pretty confusing after. Hikers do get lost on the trail, which can become twisted and split. But if you are experienced in hiking and think that you can manage, there are ways to do it as well.
- Download offline maps or tourist maps.
- Discreetly follow another group that has a guide (at a distance).
- Keep an eye on the trail markings (they aren’t clear everywhere).
The waterfalls are perfect for diving and swimming, so don’t forget to bring an extra pair of clothes. Good shoes are also a must. And due to the mosquito issue, carry a repellent. And some food, of course.
Visit Chinatown
Mauritius is a place with people from multiple ethnicities. And one of them is the Sino-Mauritians, the descendants of Chinese immigrants, who make up to 3% of the population. Quite possibly the smallest Chinatown in the world.
The streets here burst with colours and are lively, featuring rows of vivid street art on the walls and doors. The new Chinatown foundation brought in a few artists from China to create those street masterpieces.
You’ll be shocked to find that a school in this area still teaches Mandarin to its students, along with martial arts, which also keeps this community safe from crime.
Once a year, the community celebrates a food festival where you’ll be able to eat Chinese food with a Mandarin touch, such as dumplings, mooncakes and fried noodles. Between bites, you’ll also be able to enjoy the cultural events like the lion-dragon dance, try your hand at Chinese games and enjoy the firecrackers.
Notre Dame Church
Notre Dame Auxiliatrice chapel is the iconic red-roofed church of Mauritius. A little landmark dedicated to Virgin Mary and has been around since the British and French were fighting for this Island.
The church itself is beautiful, majestically overlooking the ocean. Its red roof adds a bright contrast against the deep blue waters, very photogenic. Step outside, you’ll see people snorkelling, couples posing for romantic photos and vendors catching and grilling up fresh BBQ fish right in front of you.
Sounds like a very calm way to spend a few hours, right?
Taste Tea at The Bois Cheri Tea Factory
Bois Cheri tea factory will be your happy place if you are a chai person. The factory premises have tea plantations and a restaurant. Your visit begins with an entry fee, and then the staff will guide you through the factory while you get to sip different flavors of tea.
Once you have finished drinking the sample tea, you can proceed to the on-site restaurant, located approximately 1 km from the factory. On the way, you’ll go through a serene green plantation and spot some animals like boars, chickens, pigs and of course monkeys.
After enjoying a feast at the restaurant, you can purchase any tea you would like to take home. Tea tasting here is one of the most popular activities in Mauritius for tourists.
Tip: The most popular flavour that sells is Coconut-flavoured tea.
- Cost: ₹ 1,020 per person (approx.)
- Open: 9 am to 5 pm (Closed on Sundays)
Taste the Local Rum
Mauritius is famous for its rums. Mauritians have been perfecting the art of producing rum ever since the colonial French started using sugarcane to make the liquor in the 19th century. The rums are made from both Molasses and sugarcane, which is locally known as the ‘Rhum Agricole’.
Local rum distilleries offer tours similar to the Rhumerie de Chamarel. The tour ends with a rum tasting session.
Note: Vanilla Chamarel Rum is people’s favourite!
Other brands that you can try if you’re keen to know more-
- Goodwill and Green Island Rum – Traditional rums, but need to be mixed with cola or something similar (locals’ favourite).
- Saint Aubin, Chamarel – These premium rums are best sipped neat to appreciate the masterpiece fully.
- Cost: ₹ 1,300 per person (approx.)
- Timings: 9:30 am to 4:30 pm (Closed on Sundays)
Witness the Ancient Lava Blocks of Rochester Falls
In the Savanne district of Mauritius, Rochester Falls stands out with a unique rectangular Lego-like pattern. Those blocks were made millions of years ago when hot volcanic lava cooled down evenly in all directions, causing them to shrink. That contraction created those patterns, and repeated collusion of water over time gave it a more distinct structure.
To get there, you’ll have to take a 2 km off-road drive through the sugarcane fields and eucalyptus trees. But once you reach the parking area, it is a piece of cake to reach the falls in 10 minutes.
The area is safe for swimming, and even adventure seekers can jump from the 10-meter-high drop into the water. After the swim, you can find vendors selling fruits and coconuts in the parking lot for quick refreshments.
Explore the Lava Tubes
The Roches Noire caves, located in the north-eastern part of Mauritius, are a series of six caves existing in the same area. Caves formed by ancient lava have complex structures, multiple chambers and freshwater pools that secretly connect to the sea through an underground network.
Maroon slaves of Mauritius (The slaves brought in by the Dutch) were using these caves as a hiding spot while fighting for freedom. These people were brought in from the mainland of Africa, Madagascar, India, Indonesia and China. And it’s said that they are the true original population of Mauritius.
Among the six caves, one stands out as the Princess Margaret caves or the La Cave Madame. The name is because the ladies of the village used to do their laundry in the fresh waters of the caves.
Unfortunately, years of neglect, destruction and abuse of the environment led the government to designate this area as a natural reserve. Now, it’s both a historical and a geological landmark.
Tip: Do take a headlamp/flashlight and a mosquito repellent.
Get Deeper into the Waters with a Submarine
Did you know that Mauritius is one of only 12 countries offering a public submarine experience? Blue Safari is the company that makes this happen by taking you 35m deep into the ocean. No training, no getting wet, just a ride into the ocean.
The experience will begin with a 15-20 minute briefing, followed by approximately 45 minutes of actual sea exploration. People spot tropical fish, curious turtles, sea urchins, corals and even a shipwreck. Surely an adventurous activity to take part in.
Sure, the price isn’t pocket-friendly, but it’s worth the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
- Cost: ₹11,488 per person
- Timings: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm (Summers), 8:30 am to 3:30 pm (Winters)

Botanical Garden
Mauritius can easily get too beachy, and the botanical garden is the best place to take a break from that scenery.
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Garden is a nature haven covered with lush greenery. One can easily spend about 2-3 hours walking through the towering trees, multiple ponds and enclosures for animals such as deer and giant tortoises.
Was once a private estate for a former French governor, it was then turned into a botanical garden in 1767 with the help of a botanist. And ever since, it’s been charming the visitors. Don’t miss an interesting coconut vendor at the parking lot who can chat with you in about 20 languages.
- Cost: ₹ 579 per person ( ₹ 144 per person with a guide)
- Timings: 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
Romantic Horse Riding During Sunset
The horseback ride at the Riambel beach must be one of the romantic things to do in Mauritius. Picture this: You and your partner are riding horses side by side on a secluded beach with blue water splashing next to you, while the golden hues of the sunset paint the sky.
You kick-start the experience by visiting the ‘Centre Equestre de Riambel’ stable’, which is home to rescued race horses, plus a few friendly cats, dogs, and goats. You’ll start with a 15-minute riding lesson before setting off at the beach.
The experience is perfect for everyone, including kids above the age of 6 years, and people choose to propose to their partners during the magical ride, so you know what to do or expect.
- Cost: ₹5000 per person (approx.)
- Timings: 10 am to 7 pm (Monday-Saturday), 9 am to 12 pm (Sunday)
Learn History at the Sugar Factory

The park has three marked trails- Blue (10km), Yellow (13km) and Red (18km). The blue trail is the smallest and almost flat throughout, but the downside is that it doesn’t have any viewpoints.
The other two trails have their ups and downs, with some pretty good views.
You can birdwatch diverse birds like the Pink Pigeon, Mauritius Parakeet and Kestrels in almost all of those trails.
Note: Entry will be restricted on the yellow and red trails after noon.

- Timings: 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Walk Underwater
Underwater walking is just as the name suggests: you’ll be walking on the ocean floor with a special sea helmet that looks like an upside-down fish bowl with an air supply. Exploring the ocean without getting your hair wet. Sounds perfect!
Many local companies in Mauritius offer this activity. You’ll be provided with a helmet, diving shoes, speedboats and wetsuits. After which, you can dive into the water and start exploring the sea while sea turtles and lion fish swim past you.
- Cost: ₹ 2,300 per person (approx.)
- Duration: 15-20 minutes
- Age: 7 years and above.
A Day at Grand Baie
Grand Baie is one of the most popular areas in Mauritius.. Think of Baga beach in Goa; that’s what Grand Baie is like, but with cleaner beaches, vibrant waters, and a chill nightlife.
The beach offers a ton of water activities such as jet skiing, windsurfing and parasailing by day. Once the sun’s down, heading to the bars while sipping cold beers and tropical cocktails will end the day right. The most famous bars are the Banana Beach Club and Insomnia.
Conclusion
Mauritius isn’t just a piece of land; it’s different. You’ll find something for everyone at every corner of the island, whether you are chasing relaxation, adventure, culture or your wild side.
