An Adventure Holiday in Mauritius

Mauritius may sound like just another beach destination, but on the contrary this tiny country, just about 1.5 times the size of Delhi has plenty to offer. If thrills is more your thing, then it’s time to start planning your adventure holiday in Mauritius.

1. Nature Walks

‘Walk with the Lion’ is a unique adventure activity where you can REALLY walk with lions in their natural habitat. Observe the habits and behaviour of these magnificent creatures in a completely safe environment. Aside from lions, there are cheetahs here too!

There’s nothing more exhilarating than the feeling of flying. Through a network of zip line cables, it’s simple to indulge in this adventure activity where you can fly over a river, trees and rocks. Don’t forget the Tarzan scream!

3. Aquatic Adventure

Aquatic adventure activities are taken quite seriously here in Mauritius! The main reason being the crystal clear waters ebbed by sandy pearl white beaches here.

• Scuba Diving – With plenty of diving centres along the coastline and perfectly safe environments, one can enroll in diving classes that let you explore these gleaming waters.
• Blue Safari - This two-seater sub scooter is the ideal way to explore the spectacular underwater life Mauritius has to offer. While your bodies remain submerged in water, your head and shoulders are enclosed in a transparent bubble as you walk smoothly in the waters.
• Dolphin Watching at Tamarind Islands - Definitely one of the most sought after things to do in Mauritius, head to the West Coast to catch sight of dolphins.

4. Sky Diving

If you’re ready to take the zip line rush to a whole new level, you have to take the plunge. Lay your eyes on this stunning island paradise from 10,000 feet above the ground. Sky diving will really get your adrenaline going.

5. Adventure Parks

Adventure parks in Mauritius offer various thrilling activities. Tree top climbing is one of the ‘must dos’. Located in the heart of a tropical forest, roam from one tree top to another, crossing various obstacles using ropes and zip lines. Having done it myself, it’s definitely not as easy as it sounds. You can also enjoy trekking and quad biking to get you really pumping.
