Recreation, Sports & Water Fun

Between the unobstructed views, a picturesque villa and the team of dedicated staff, you can pretty much live out your ultimate castaway fantasy on Île des Deux Cocos.This beautiful jewelled pendant in a turquoise ocean lies just off the south east coast of Mauritius. Reserve this island resort in Mauritius for day trip lunches and events. Just take a ride from a glass-bottom shuttle boat ride across the turquoise waters. A world away, you'll be greeted with a refreshing cold towel and welcome drink, before exploring this tranquil haven. Swim in crystal clear warm waters, snorkel amongst the corals and shoals of bright tropical fish flitting around the offshore marine park or, if you prefer, visit by glass-bottom boat. On shore there is also plenty to do. Laze on the beach or stroll along the small paths through native woodland. Lunch is served either at tables in the open overlooking the ocean, or under the shade of a white marquee where you can sink into deep settees. Dine on delicious salads topped off with fresh herbs from the garden and grilled specialties from the buffet, while wine, beer and soft drinks flow freely. You know you're on holiday when an ice cream cart trundles past laden with freshly made tropical delights. The afternoon is yours and culminates in a tasting of homemade flavoured rum to conclude another perfect day. To the south of this island resort in Mauritius, the dramatic ocean is an ever-changing spectacle of waves pounding against the coral reef. In contrast, to the north, tranquil, sandy white beaches border Blue Bay Marine Reserve, one of the most stunning spots for snorkelling in all of Mauritius. The Moroccan villa on the island, built in the 1920s by the British Governor of Mauritius, Sir Hesketh Bell, has been completely restored to its original glory. Highlights include a shaded Moroccan-style courtyard, a fragrant garden laden with bougainvillea, swimming pool and of course, your very own private speedboat. Here a gentle sea breeze caresses, the ocean shines blue, and the only traffic is the procession of fish between coral. Welcome to a little piece of paradise afloat in the Indian Ocean.

Île aux Cerfs is an oasis for swimming and snorkeling, as its waters are warm year-round. Discover the colorful coral reef, brimming with marine life. Book a 3-hour snorkeling adventure and admire reef fish and other marine life. Afterward, laze on the lagoon’s expansive 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) stretch of sand or simply float on the tranquil ocean. Southern trade winds here also make the beach ideal for watersports. Rent a canoe or kayak with friends and spend the afternoon paddling in pristine nature as you explore the island. Try your hand at water-skiing, cruise across the still water and bask in the sunshine. Order lunch at one of the casual oceanfront cafés or pack your own picnic. Savor fresh, lightly grilled seafood and salads by the shore. Try to spot a dolphin or two on the horizon as you eat. To reach Île aux Cerfs Beach, take a pleasant boat cruise from the main island. For a memorable day sailing in breathtaking settings, book the catamaran cruise that leaves mid-morning from Mauritius’ Pointe Jérôme Jetty. As you set sail to Île aux Cerfs Beach in style, take in stunning vistas over the sapphire lagoon. Alternatively, travel from Pointe Jérôme to Île aux Cerfs in 15 minutes via motorboat.

Blue Bay National marine Park, this little gem is the pride of many locals; and it got all the reasons to be! You’ll agree with us once you visit. The Marine Park at Blue Bay is a magical and serene location bubbling with life. The marine park is a real underwater theatre which homes an array of marine species and serves as a playground for fishes and turtles too! Blue Bay’s magnificent underwater life is worth all your attention while in Mauritius and should be on top of your ‘places to see’. It one of the few places to have permanent sea turtles living nd is one of the best snorkeling spot. Indeed, Blue Bay Marine Park does not only have its name; it truly guarantees popping hues of blue to splash up your ultimate vacation in Mauritius! Once in Blue Bay you will notice several boats along the shore, waiting and ready to welcome you onboard for a memorable trip to the Blue Bay Marine Park (the first to be declared so in Mauritius). The best part is that you can even choose to go for a glass-bottom trip rather than a snorkeling session to explore Mauritius and its whereabouts. Eye candy or even better… soul food, be ready for a speechless experience as you discover the bluest waters. There are several species of marine organisms protected at the marine park; and believe it or not, it is home to the largest brain coral of the whole Indian Ocean! How can you miss that?! It’s your time to swim along Nemo and Dory! TIPS: - There’s absolutely no need for you to pack your snorkeling gear, it is provided on boat for the snorkeling trips (unless you want to do it on your own) - Charge all of your gadgets before going! Phone, camera, tablet and so on! - Try discovering the marine park on a stand up paddle- a memorable experience (especially for youngsters) - Review from Mauritius Explored

YOUR OWN SECRET CAVE!!! This natural cave is in the south of Mauritius, at Gris Gris. An enchanted must-visit – this natural cave is located in Gris Gris on the west side of the beach. It is made from rock formations of the nearby crashing waves that have crafted out a natural tunnel in the cliff. It really is a feast for the eyes while you relish on the wild and rough ocean, bordered by black lava formations; something quite unusual from the white and sandy beaches that make Mauritius so popular. It is indeed an amazing sightseeing spot to add on your list; best combined with a trip to Gris Gris and the nearby sweeping rock. The cave is located “under the car park”. When you arrive at Gris Gris, go down the stairs and follow along the cliff for another 30 meters. Be very carful of the waves and changing tides and the sea urchin that are very common in the area. TIPS: - Wearing shoes is kind of a must! - Extreme precaution needs to be taken due to the surrounding rough seas. - The access through the beach is very rough and rocky, be careful.

The Eau Bleue Waterfall (referred to as Cascade La Source) is nestled in the peaceful village of Cluny. There, you’ll find no skyscraper but infinite patches of sugarcane fields and lush forest. We’re grateful that Mauritius still hides such little treasures! Throughout recent years, the village of Cluny has seen several tourists around; stopping by locals to question “Do you know the way to Eau Bleue Waterfall?”… Depending on your language, the local might be able to help you, as long as he/she understands “Eau Bleue” then you are definitely sorted. The waterfall originates from the nearby river and comes out on three different levels of the terrain (although the main waterfall is of interest to most of the visitors). All three waterfalls at Eau Bleue are spectacular as you’ll relish on the azure blue color of the pond. Take time to satisfy your adrenaline rush and dive right through the waterfall! Where is eau Bleu waterfall and how to get there ? TIPS: - Not recommended to visit during heavy rainfall / raining season - Cliff jumping is allowed but be extra careful as it is slippery (Review from Mauritius Explored)

Remember when you used to careen through the playground on a swinging tire as a kid along with your little group of friends? Well, zip lining has had a bit of a makeover since then- especially in Mauritius! What an exciting addition to your trip itinerary in Mauritius. Zip lining at La Vallée Des Couleurs is a memorable 500 meters once-in-a-lifetime experience to try out while you’re considering what to do in Mauritius (you know… besides beach days). Spread over 450 acres of land, La Vallée Des Couleurs Nature Park is operational since the 4th of July 1998. The range of natural and green landscapes revolves around the indigenous fauna and flora. Actively engaged in the eco-tourism business, the discovery of the 23 coloured earth constitutes of a unique geological feature in this part of the world for both Mauritians and overseas visitors.

Hiking Le Morne Brabant also means you’re standing on one of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the past centuries, this iconic mountain used to be a refuge for the slaves and hides a tragic story behind it. We highly recommend you to read through it and learn more on the history of Mauritius and the time of slavery. Hiking at Le Morne is somehow challenging. Of course you will be welcomed by some flat terrains but at some point, your hands will come in use as you will need to climb and hold on to ropes and well, you will need some good physical attributes to reach the top. However, one thing is for sure; no matter how many times you stop for a break or you fall ; you won’t regret any bit of it! The view offered once at the summit is truly magical; something completely out of this world – eye candy or even better… soul food! There is no fee to enter the UNESCO World Heritage Site but you are required to fill in the visitors book (for safety reasons). You may also wish to hire a guide once on the spot so as to get more insights on the history of the site. The whole trek will take you around 3 hours as you will stop here and there along the way to enjoy the amazing views it has to offer, watch the kitesurfers on the lagoon and take a few clicks. The view at the summit is breathtaking and there’s absolutely no word to describe it! All you have to do is hike up and see it from your own eyes! Hiking Level: Medium to Difficult ** Half of the hike is medium. To get to the very top of the mountain, it is difficult -- you will need good hiking shoes and be prepared for some climbing with the assistance of a rope! (Review from Mauritius Explored)

Sightseeing

This outstanding landmark is located in the district of Souillac and is accessible from Gris Gris beach. A walk through the lush greenery will lead you to the end of the headland where you will be able to witness this so-called optic illusion of a weeping rock (La Roche Qui Pleure). Famous for its majestic waves, the waters on the South Coast of Mauritius crash against the cliffs, giving you the impression that the rocks are literally tearing- creating almost a mystic atmosphere that lets you wonder on what more Mauritius has to offer besides its spectacular beaches. Venture into the wild of the Southern part of Mauritius to witness this almost dramatic natural wonder. TIPS: 1) Avoid getting too close to the cliffs edge! 2) It can get pretty windy up in Gris Gris, you might want to consider bringing a thin jacket. 3) The cold months could be of your interest if you’re fascinated by whales! 4) Complete your Gris Gris experience with an ultimate road trip along the South coastline starting from the south west to the south east or vice versa.

This 37-hectare botanical garden, officially called the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, is home to many species from around the world, as well as endemic species from Mauritius. Considered as one of the oldest in the world, created by Pierre Poivre in the 18th century, it was at that time only a kitchen garden. As soon as you enter, walk down an alley of lataniers with a majestic baobab, discover nearly 95 species of palm trees from all over the world, or the famous amazonian giant water lilies. Travel all over the globe with those smells of spices such as cinnamon, camphor trees or a wide variety of flowers like orchids, araucarias, and birds of paradise. A true paradise for the senses, which has been visited by several personalities in recent years, including Gandhi and Mandela. (Review from Mauritius Explored)

The seven coloured earth Mauritius of Chamarel is an extraordinary natural wonder and is a landmark to visit while in vacation to Mauritius that will surprise you to the next level! This is a place that deserves, perhaps to be on your top places to visit before you die! Envision magical and untraditional colored dune (as of today, there are more than 7 colors)! Fascination doesn’t always rhyme with natural phenomenon but when it does, it leaves you speechless! It is surprisingly, the concentration of different elements, particles and past volcanic history that have brought together such phenomenon in Mauritius. You will find a real myriad of colors ranging from red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple, and yellow, reminding us of how colorful and multicultural the people of Mauritius are. Note that an entry fee is required. You can also visit the Cascade of Chamarel at the same time TIPS: - Brace yourself for a crowd as this is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Mauritius. - Best enjoyed on your journey to Chamarel and surroundings. - There is a fee to pay to visit the 7 Colored Earth, this serves to contribute to the local community and eases conservation and preservation of the area.

Although “Cheri” (translating to “darling”) might sound familiar to you, it isn’t the one you hear around. We’re kind of killing the romantic vibes but we’re here because we take tea time very seriously and we think you should too! Besides being popular for its sugar cane fields, Mauritius does host tea plantations too! In fact, the town of Bois Cheri is home to the island’s oldest tea plantation which happens to be the name held by the local tea brand too. The tea plantation is one of the best places to see when in Mauritius as it features its own tea factory and museum so that one can witness the process of tea production. It is the perfect way to learn about the history of Mauritius and how tea production has evolved since then. Get your tasting palates ready for some serious tea degustation! The plantation is equivalent to those you will find around India and Sri Lanka and offers views that are to die for! Bois Cheri Tea Plantation is also a stop along the Mauritian Tea Route which features the Domaine Des Aubineaux, followed by Bois Cheri and thirdly the Saint Aubin. This whole day tour takes approximately 7 hours but you may wish to head directly to Bois Cheri as they are one of the finest tea producers on the island. TIPS: - Try your best to head there on a Wednesday or Thursday as the factory does not open to public visits on a daily basis. - Stock up on some tea packets. These make great gifts to your friends and relatives as they are 100% authentic! (Review from Mauritius Explored)

TIPS: - Try your best to head there on a Wednesday or Thursday as the factory does not open to public visits on a daily basis. - Stock up on some tea packets. These make great gifts to your friends and relatives as they are 100% authentic! (Review from Mauritius Explored)
The Frederik Hendrik Museum opened its doors in May 1999 and is named after the stadtholder of the United Provinces of The Netherlands who was in office from 1625 to 1647. It is located at Old Grand Port, which is considered a historical site bearing witness to the Dutch and French colonial settlements in Mauritius, on the coast of south east Mauritius. The very first inhabitants of Mauritius, the Dutch, settled here to colonise the island. The museum, surrounded by a luxuriant tropical garden, includes a visitors’ centre with an exhibition of artifacts found during archaeological excavations in the area since 1997 and the remains of some ruins. Reproduction of historical paintings and maps of the 17th century are also displayed in the complex. TIPS: - Open your eyes for the small signs on the road to reach this place - Take this opportunity to visit the village of Mahebourg (Review from Mauritius Explored)

We like to call Curepipe the little “Alaska” of Mauritius. Although still maintaining a tropical weather, Curepipe is relatively cooler that other regions of the island. The region also attracts frequent rainfall. With a good amount of downpour, Curepipe is surrounded by lush greenery that you might find here and there, especially at its botanical garden. Fact being said, it homes the second largest botanical garden of Mauritius that dates back to 1870. In fact, there is not much to do at the botanical garden (unless you are looking for a place to let your kids run freely). The whole point of visiting it is to see more of just Mauritius beaches. Taking a stroll around the garden, you might want to renounce on your daily stress and relish upon its beauty that is intensified by a river, a lake and several plants that grow around cool temperatures. The garden is frequently visited by the neighborhood for the purpose of a jog or a Sunday evening out with the kids; you know just to get them all tired before a fresh school week! Who knows, you might even come across a local and get to know more about the garden and the region of Curepipe. Indeed, nothing compares to Mauritius and its people! TIPS: - While in Curepipe, do not miss to stop by the Marimootoo Patisserie for some sweet delicacies, they’re seriously the best! (Review from Mauritius Explored)

Bois des Amourettes, translated as Lovers’ forest, is a peaceful and tiny village in the east of Mauritius. The center of attraction of this village is its famous lovely jetty which was constructed during the naval war of Vieux Grand Port. The beautiful jetty makes approximately 190 meters and from it you are able to see the amazing Ile au Phare, Ile de la Passe, Ile aux Aigrettes and some other little islands as well. TIPS: - Drive south to visit the dutch first landing in Mauritius - Visit the village of Mahebourg - Finish the day at Blue bay (Review from Mauritius Explored)

The Lighthouse of Pointe aux Caves (Albion) is situated on the West Coast of Mauritius, and is an emblem for that region. The lighthouse began construction in 1909 and was finally inaugurated in 1910. The structure rises up to 30 Meters high and offers an excellent view over the region. Visits to the lighthouse will require an authorisation letter which can be obtained by requesting with the Mauritius Ports Authority, since the latter is responsible for the site. Once you receive the letter by post you can present yourself at the Lighthouse and the visit hopefully can start. It is somehow recommended to avoid very windy days as if you intend to climb out of the dome you should be very careful, especially if you are afraid of heights. P.S This is Mauritius’ only operational lighthouse but can we also add to the fact that there’s even a natural pool … and cliffs and … CAVES!? These must definitely be the reasons why Albion Lighthouse (also known as Pointe-aux-Caves) has been the star of various movies and short films during recent years; it does depict a perfect mariners’ scene! This iconic emblem of sea-travel is located on the west coast of Mauritius and dates back to over a century old (completed in 1910). Believe it or not; it still offers navigation assistance to ships approaching the coasts of Mauritius. In fact, it is the only fully-operational lighthouse in Mauritius as of today. You will notice that it flashes twice, every 10 seconds for signal purposes. Albion is not only about its lighthouse but also about other elements that add on to its uniqueness. The surroundings are bordered by wild cliffs that serve as crying shoulders to the crashing waves from the nearby rough seas. Making your way down the cliffs, you will also be directed to secret caves inhabited by birds and bats; avoid disturbing them ???? The view from the cliffs is mesmerizing although you might get splashed by the waves. If you would like to spend more time in the area; take a dip at its natural pool – a small pond formed by rock formations- big enough for your group of friends. Beer in one hand; there truly is no better sunset spot! TIPS: A few tips by Mauritius Explored: - Please avoid getting too close to the cliffs’ edge. - Visiting the area at night might be dangerous due to the cliffs and rough seas.

This natural wonder on the south coast of the island will surely level up your Insta-fame! An enchanted must-visit – this natural bridge is made from rock formations of the nearby crashing waves that have crafted out a natural crossover from one end to the over. It really is a feast for the eyes while you relish on the wild and rough ocean, bordered by black lava formations; something quite unusual from the white and sandy beaches that make Mauritius so popular. It is indeed an amazing sightseeing spot to add on your list; best combined with a trip to Gris Gris and the nearby sweeping rock. TIPS: - Wearing shoes is kind of a must! - Extreme precaution needs to be taken due to the surrounding rough seas. - The access road is very rough and rocky. If you have a low seated car it will be better to walk. (Review from Mauritius Explored)

Yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mauritius where one gets to experience the authentic history of the island! Earning the official status of a World heritage Site has allowed the area to be preserved as a cultural property with great significance to the history of Mauritius and its link to the British colony. The site is known to be where the first indentured laborers were welcomed before undertaking their initial jobs on the sugarcane fields’ plantations across the island. From there, some would even be transferred to nearby islands like Reunion Island and further to Australia, to other African countries and as far as the Caribbean. This migration took place between the year 1834 and 1920. It was indeed a real hub for the development of an economic system across the island. It is good to know that the Aapravasi Ghat served as the main site to test the ‘great experiment’ implemented by the British Government at that time. The latter was testing out the economy model of free labour to replace slavery. If you’re keen to know more about the in-depth history of Mauritius, it’s colonies and heritage then this is definitely something you will enjoy as more information is available once on site. TIPS: - Take a notebook! You might get inspired to write a post on Mauritius’ history! - Visit Port louis Market on the opposite side of the road or continue the trip to Caudan waterfront (Review from Mauritius Explored)

In the heart of Port-louis, the Garden of the Company which formerly belonged to the Compagnie des Indes is a haven of greenery and shade in the heat of the capital. Popular place in Port-louis, the garden offers benches located under the immense banyan trees. Enjoy a cool break while discovering the many statues of members of former governments of the island during the colonization. You will see a slice of the life of Portlouis. Crossing the garden you will discover the account of travelers who have crossed the Indian Ocean including Marco Polo. Again, several statues are erected among which a monument in honor of Mother Barthelemy. You will also be destabilized by a somewhat peculiar earth globe. It is a glorb represented by Sharif al-Idrissi. This cartographer of the court of Sicily lived in the 12th century and revolutionized the world by saying that the earth was round. But when realizing his card that remained the reference until the 16th century in Europe, he reversed the poles based on a former Chinese convention. Thus, the globe of the Garden of the Company is upside down. Surprising effect guaranteed! (Review from Mauritius Explored)

It is impossible to walk through the streets of Port louis without going through the Central Market. The entrance is an explosion. Explosion of sounds, with the merchants shouting louder than the others to attract customers, but also, explosion of colors and scents. On all the estates are local vegetables of all shapes and colors. The scarlet reds are followed by irradiating greens interspersed with oranges and yellow. Chillies of all kinds and sizes include fresh peppers in which you feel like crunching, bredes of all kinds waiting to be put to the pan. All good Mauritian recipes come to mind during your visit. We recommend you also go for a small tour to the herbalists. The tips of use written on their small placards are very effective. You will find herbs for the ailments that may exist. Next to the entrance, a stone staircase takes you to a balcony that overlooks the bazaar and allows you to have a real view of the extent of the structure which was completely renovated in 2004.

On the Royal road, as you see two pagodas above the road, you are in china town. Besides, even without the pagodas, you can not go wrong. The Chinese shops are aligned on each side of the road, with an indecrtible number of heterocilite products crammed into the windows. The labels as the name of the storefronts are in Chinese characters. The small stalls stick to each other sell all the same things. You can find in the same shop, spare parts of second hand, Chinese engravings, clothes and books. Heat, dust and strong smells of spices or Asian cuisine take you to the heart of China. In China Town, enjoy your visit to the tasty dumplings, a pow, a traditional fried or less known but equally delicious: a singaporian chicken rice (rice, vegetables and steam chicken). MUST DO: Stop at a local restaurant! (Review from Mauritius Explored)

To finish in a smooth way, the Caudan waterfront is ideal. Certainly, the Caudan is at Port Louis, but without being in Port Louis. Once the tunnel passes, the traffic noise fades. The bustle of the streets disappears, the heat is also less, a slight wind passes over the sea and sweeps the Caudan waterfront. You are spoiled for choice between pubs, terraces and restaurants that are installed all along the port. Great place for shopping. Need to taste ``glacons rapé``! (Review from Mauritius Explored)

Dating back to the 19th century, this fort will transport you back in the formidable history of Mauritius and its multiple colonies. It is quite impressive as the fort is still punctured by its rusting cannons. Like most forts, Citadel was built to withstand wars and enemies from attacking the British colony and was purely a defensive battlement. Following meticulous restauration, the fort has been converted into a National Monument- a potent symbol for Mauritian Nationalism and it welcomes several visitors on a daily basis. The official name held by the fort is known as “Fort Adelaide” but most locals will refer to it as Citadel (to be very honest, they might not even know about its official name). The fort was barely (or shall we say, never) used for any sort of war or battle, although troops were constantly stationed up there. From the top, you will get to enjoy a picturesque 360 degrees view of the city of Port-Louis. A view you’re not ready to forget… (Review from Mauritius Explored)

Located in Anse Jonchée, the Domaine du Chasseur is a private nature reserve in the south of the island. Only 10 minutes from Curepipe, it is the idyllic place for sunny days during your stay in Mauritius. Offering one hundred hectares of unspoiled nature, it is a popular meeting point for hunters in July and September. If you spend your holidays in Mauritius during this period, you will have the opportunity to join them and go hunting for Java deer or wild boar. Hunting in the Chasseur d'Anse Jonchées area is above all a concept that prevents the proliferation of these animals in the wild, whose climate is too conducive to their proliferation. During your holidays in Mauritius, you can pay the hunting fee and spend days discovering new sensations. Le Domaine du Chasseur is also a reserve where monkeys, hares and many species of local birds are raised. Choosing to walk the 30 km of trails that crisscross the reserve allows you to merge with nature, the time of a simple stay in Mauritius. Discover this vastness of natural landscapes dotted with forests of native spice trees and plants. To explore this lush nature, you have the choice between hiking, testing your form on a bike or spinning at high speed on a quad and not missing out on the sumptuousness of this generous environment. You can, inside the estate, enjoy the restaurant offering a breathtaking view of the ocean and the green expanse in the foreground. The Restaurant du Domaine du Chasseur invites you to discover traditional game dishes, a real return to basics thanks to an exceptional culinary art.

Pinpointing this little gem located on the South West coast of the island because it is truly worth a visit or two! Once there, let your mind drift away in the stunning views it offers – a real feast for the eyes! The Macondé Point is part of one of the most scenic route of Mauritius. In Mauritius’ history, the Macondé Rock served as a shelter for slaves who managed somehow to run away from their masters; nowadays it does not serve any other purpose than being one of the top photo spot for tourists to stop by while on their road trips to the south of the island. It is so popular that you might need to expect a crowd on top of the rock; especially during the weekends but we can’t blame anyone as the unobstructed view wins everyone’s heart! You’ll be amazed by how the calming waters of the West coast meet and merge with the wilderness of the south coast.

One of the last remaining stands of forest on Rodrigues, this nature reserve crowns the island’s summit. The Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) has overseen the planting of over 150,000 native plant species, and the restoration of this ecosystem has ensured the survival of the Rodrigues fody and the Rodrigues warbler bird species. Trails pass through the forest – although they’re not especially well marked, it’s difficult to get too lost. Pick up the useful (and free) Grande Montagne Nature Reserve Field Guide at the entrance to help with plant and bird identification. (Review from Mauritius Explored)

Île au Phare, also known as Île aux Fouquets, is a rocky island on the Grand Port Bay, east of the main island of the Republic of Mauritius and in the immediate vicinity of the Vacoas islet. It is one of the country’s national parks. Ile Phare was amongst the first ones to be discovered in 1598 by the Dutch settlers. The island bears its name by virtue of a lighthouse built in 1864, which was still operational until beginning of the 20th century.

Besides its wonderful dolphin show, the coastal village of Tamarin is also best-known for its salt pans. With an incredible backdrop of mountains; grab the chance to relish upon a magical live-show from the extraction of salt- being an essential element for all animal life, it surely is abundant here on Earth, but it still requires extraction from the salty waters of Mauritius. The process of mining that salt has produced beautiful landscapes, including, multicolored pools of water, and geometric carvings. This is the reason Les Salines de Tamarin has become a tourist photo-spot throughout the years. The little secret (although not a secret anymore), is to head to Les Salines at dawn to be able to see the local workers with salt baskets on their head during the extraction process. With such magical elements, you can’t miss to have the perfect shot for your holiday memories! Sadly, part of Les Salines is now being developed for a nearby supermarket parking area; leaving a large community of locals and visitors heart-broken from the idea. TIPS: We repeat; it does get MAGICAL at dawn! Pack your gadgets, you won’t regret!

The Martello towers are widely known because they exist in various parts of the globe, especially on the English coast, in Canada, in Jamaica and in Sri Lanka. In total, one hundred and three Martello towers were constructed throughout the world by the English between 1810 and 1846, to defend the British under the dominion of a possible landing of French troops, the enemy of always. The Martello towers of Grand Riviere North West, Preneuse, Belle Mare and Port Louis are the four remaining towers of the five towers built by the English in 1834. A masterpiece of ingeniosity made of raw sculpted stone, Lime and teak, among others. It took three years to complete the construction of these five towers, a height of 30 feet, a diameter of 43 feet on the outside and 28 feet on the inside making a wall of 11 feet thickness. Erected at strategic points on the island, one at Fort George in Port Louis, two at Grande Riviere North West and two at Riviere Noires, these towers were designed to be defense points in case of attack. The building is divided into four levels; The basement or the officers stored water and food, the ground floor where the powder magazine was located, the first floor was used as a sleep-rooms and kitchen for the soldiers and the roof sheltered cannon. However, none of the Martello towers was used during a battle. Hence the disappearance of Fort George and Fort Victoria, between 1880 and 1902, following the development of the Port. With the development of Port Louis in the 20th century, the Great Northwest River Tower served for many years of warehouse for ammunition and explosives of the SMF. That of the Preneuse, she, has been transforated into a museum. Inside, the guide explains the internal structure of the building. The sub-base is divided into three parts, which you can see through the windows placed in the floor. The rainwater is harvested and kept in a large reservoir which occupies two thirds of the subsidence. The rest of the level is occupied by the powder magazine and the pantry. Finally, on the roof of the tower, a 24-pounder gun is mounted on a central pivot. The barrel could turn 360 degree to reach its target or it is. The scope of this type of cannon is 2km! Towers, thus built by the British to defend themselves from the French. (Review from Mauritius Explored)
