When visiting Mauritius, there is always the temptation to sit back and chill in one of the countless spectacular resorts that can be found right across this wonderful country. However, if you are making the effort to travel to this part of the world then it would make sense to make the most of it and explore to see more of what it has to offer. The good news is that there are many different ways to see Mauritius once there; below are just a few examples. Bike Tours
When in Mauritius, you can get to see more of the local community by using bicycles or quad bikes. Some resorts have bicycles for rent while some others may provide them free of charge to their guests. When it comes to hiring bicycles, you can either explore on your own or join a group on a guided tour – the choice is yours to make. If you do opt for the guided tour, you are likely to be taken to lots of locations by a guide who will offer information about the local area as you move along.
Quad biking is a fun way to get around the island, stopping off and meeting some locals along the way. Before you get going though, you will likely have a little instruction or training on how to drive and manoeuvre the quad bike to ensure you are both comfortable and confident. If you are thinking about doing something like this, remember to bring your driving licence as you will likely need it to hire these.
Boat Trips
Situated in the heart of the Indian Ocean means it is no surprise that boat trips feature heavily when it comes to Mauritius excursions. Speedboat trips to neighbouring islands are hugely popular and typically involve picnics on a beach as well as some snorkelling or diving.
Catamaran sailing is also popular, and some even involve trips to see dolphins. You may also get an opportunity to swim with these beautiful creatures and visit other attractions such as the seven-coloured sands at Chamarel.
Car Hire
If you fancy exploring Mauritius and everything it has to offer, then you might want to consider hiring a car for a day or two. Roads in Mauritius are generally in good condition and you can expect to see some stunning scenery as you travel. As in the UK, Mauritians drive on the left.
Excursions
There are so many different types of excursions available in Mauritius that will allow you to see beyond your resort. These trips can be booked through your hotel, with local tour operators, or via your travel agent before you leave home. Many people prefer to book through their travel agent as it means they can pay for their trips in advance, offering them the peace of mind that all has been booked through a reputable company.
