Mauritius
Must See Attractions
Mauritius is a place to relax and unwind, but no holiday in Mauritius would be complete without a trip to the neighbouring island of Ile Aux Cerf and a visit to see the giant water lilies at the Royal Botanical Gardens.
Botanical Gardens
The Royal Botanical Gardens (also known as the Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens or Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Gardens) are one of the most popular tourist attractions in Mauritius.
Wander through groves of palm trees and spice gardens, or admire the pond of giant Victoria Amazonica water lilies. The smell of your favourite spices - ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, camphor and sandalwood – is all around, as are glimpses of Mauritian wildlife. Spot the Java deer and giant tortoise enclosures. There's also an art gallery and a cemetery.
Ile Aux Cerfs
A visit to Ile Aux Cerfs is a must for anyone staying in Mauritius. The island features palm fringed beaches of the finest white sand and has facilities for every type of water activity under the sun:
- diving
- snorkelling
- hiring a speed boat
- para-sailing
- taking a ride in a glass-bottomed boat
- water skiing and water scootering
- hire a paddle boat and more!
The lagoon at Ile Aux Cerfs extends for hundreds of meters at ankle-depth, beyond which the clear blue water is of swimmable depth and ideal for snorkelling or diving.
