Mauritius - Travel Agent Diaries

June 28, 2024
Trip to Mauritius 
Well what can I say about Mauritius. It truly took my breath away. 

If you are looking for an alternative holiday to the Europe, Caribbean or Maldives then Mauritius is an ideal place to do. Unlike the Maldives there is so much to see and do. Whether you are looking to relax on beautiful white sandy beaches, explore the unique culture or doing something full of adrenaline then this is the place to do it all! 

Here is some information and tips that I learnt on my trip 

Flights - 
We flew with Air Mauritius direct which took around 12 hours. Flying overnight was brilliant as it meant no jet lag and it was easier to adjust to the local time (5 hours ahead when I travelled) 

Things to do - 
I don't think I scratched the surface of things to do but one of my favourite things we did was the zip wire adventure at La Vallee Des Coluleurs Nature Park. There were also lots of other things to do while you were there also but that is all we had time for that day. Getting up at 6am to swim with Dolphins in the wild was so worth it, this can be easily organised as a boat trip from your hotel so speak with a local tour provider who can help with arrange this while you are in resort. I also highly recommend hiring a car, they drive on the same side as the UK and it gives you the freedom to explore and see things at your pace! 

Hotels - 
I was lucky enough to stay in multiple hotels all with Beachcomber Tours. These hotels were just incredible and they all had their unique points, but my favourite out of the 7 that I saw during my stay was Trou Aux Biches. It just had something for everyone and the kids club really blew me away, I know my kids would have an amazing time if they were there with me. 

Top Tip - 
As its a tropical island you do get Mosquitos to make sure you take some very good repellent with you, this is something I neglected and did regret!  
Here is what I usually take away with me - https://amzn.to/3RKYyCp but if you are not the best at remembering to spray all the time then I can recommend these - https://amzn.to/4cEVKid I usually put one on my wrist and one on my ankle just to be sure! 

Overall its a fantastic island and really does have something for everyone!
