The island of Mauritius, straight off the Eastern coast of Africa, is truly a wonderful little hidden gem in the Indian Ocean. Exuberant culture, beautiful beaches and a friendly atmosphere await you in this highly desirable vacation destination.
Mauritius offers several different luxury resorts to choose from all throughout the entire island, and many are very reasonably priced and affordable. Each and every luxurious resort boasts world class service and delightful amenities that will conciliate even the most hard to please individuals.
Excitement and adventure is lurking behind every corner as there is never a dull moment on this charming haven of an island. For the true adventuresome chaps with perhaps a bit of adrenaline junkie in them, skydiving off the coast of Mauritius is probably one of the most memorable experiences ever and will surely get the blood flowing.

For those with a more mild approach to adventure, there is a multitude of wondrous things to do that do not require jumping out of a perfectly well to do airplane. Go hiking through the lush tropical landscape or go mountain climbing through the rugged and challenging slopes. Perhaps you may enjoy some water activities such as a relaxing day spent fishing and snorkelling. Or maybe you would like to turn it up a bit and do some deep sea diving around the beautiful and colourful reef that surrounds the island. Enjoy the warmth of the sun and the tropical waters as you are sure to encounter some very exotic and pulchritudinous species of aquatic life.
If you happen to be in a more balmy and laid back mood, then take a casual stroll on one of the many lovely nature trails. The brilliant tropical setting is a fantastic spot for great pictures and videos. For a truly awesome experience, check out the Chamarel Waterfall. Located in the southern part of the island, the waterfall drops over one hundred meters with an amazing green forestry backdrop that will literally take your breath away.

You will fall head over feet in love with the people, climate, culture, food and pure endless beauty. So while you and your family are putting together travel plans and potential vacation spots, be sure to place the lovely island paradise of Mauritius near the top of your list.
