Tips for a Fantastic Mauritius Vacation
The sea and beaches in Mauritius are one of the primary attractions, whether or not you are on a family vacation, a sporty holiday with mates or on honeymoon. The water is crystal clear and amazingly clean. The color of the sea is a very particular light turquoise, which harmonizes wonderfully with the white sand and lush green vegetation. Mauritius is full of tiny bays where you can enjoy privacy and tranquility. If you like snorkeling, head off to Pointe aux Piments, which is well known for it's underwater views.
You can also think of making an excursion to Il aux Cerfs Island, generally called Deer Island. It is accessible through a short boat trip from the mainland and offers an enchanting and peaceful experience amid isolated bays and giant palm trees.
All Mauritians talk French and English and so you'll have no trouble communicating whilst there. Taxi drivers are particularly chatty and can offer you plenty of "insider info" about the island. Mauritius truly is amongst the most beautiful island states in Southeast Pacific Rim, improved by spectacular tropical nature but also by an engaging heritage and beautiful arts.
Port Louis is the capital of Mauritius and a fantastic tourist attraction. When visiting you'll enjoy stopping at the Royal Botanical Garden, the Government House, the Blue Penny Museum and the Central Market.
Near the Capital, it's well worth visiting Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, AKA the Sri Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Gardens. They are emerald green and home to giant water lilies and exotic palm trees. Every year they are visited by many holiday makers and the local govt keeps them in perfect order. Perhaps you will be fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the Talipot palm flower. This palm flowers once every sixty years and then dies!
Mauritius is an island and the only aeroport is in the city of Plaisance, close to the coast. If you do not like lots of car travel there are lot's of pretty spots not so far away, however the island itself is small so even if you travel by auto to the opposite end you almost certainly still won't be car-sick! There aren't any trains but taxies are freely available and rather cheap and otherwise you can go for a car hire. Buses are less expensive but are not totally comfortable to use when you are carrying lot's off baggage as to get on you have several high steps to climb. Also they don't take you to all the possible destinations, particularly if you have selected a secluded hotel.
Mauritius holidays are great if you are on honeymoon but whether or not you simply wish to relax and unwind. The length of the stay can vary from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. When planning your trip to Mauritius do not forget to make arrangements for babysitting, plant watering and pet care. A few people use house-sitters or maybe house swapping, to be completely certain that their domestic situation will be tended to while they're away and they can absolutely enjoy their holiday.
You can spend a day in Black River Gorges State Park,well famous for the numerous animal species you can see and especially the many varieties of colorful birds which make the Park seem like a modern Garden of Eden. Here you'll find the Pink Pigeon, the Mauritius Kestrel, the Olive and the Grey White eye and the Mauritius Fody, solely to name a couple. The Government has invested significantly in the animal life parks and this has permitted for an increase in fauna.
The excellent weather all year round and the contrast of the green lush vegetation to the soft white sands and azure sea make it a vacation spot well worth visiting and tourists increase annually.
