Mauritius Things to Do

Small museum on the east coast of Mauritius, I give a web site with some history.
This is the site of the first human settlement in Mauritius. The Dutch discovered Mauritius in 1598. However, they settled here only in 1638, when the Fort Frederik Hendrik was constructed.

Hi Friends and my dear Travellers freaks,

It has been a remarkable experience sharing some of the best exotic places I have been to and one of them is the beautiful paradise called mauritius. I loved this place so much that I travel every year once for 10 days atleast to relax myself and chill out.

Mauritius is not so expensive as compared to other destionations like Miami, Bahamas but it is quite natural, less people,surrounded by great beaches and food with a great night life too. So I wrote all my experiences to how to travel to mauritius, how to get the conversion done to maurtian rupees, which things you shouldn't miss out like chamarel, under sea walk, water scooters, parasailing, cruise trip, walk with tigers, Gangatalao lake , Grand bassin etc with all the hot and happening places with all the specialities. So please visit to my ebooks store i.e http://www.ebooksyours.com/mauritius.html . Download this ebook for just for $10 and have a great virtual ride of mauritius and all the tips,advices you want to have before you visit the place.

Perybere is my favourite place to go in Mauritius, lots of locals, the best local beach on the island, we even do night swimming here.
There is a tour operater in Perybere that can book tours to the whole island as well as boat tours.
There is a bank and money exchanger. There is a public phone, a supermarket and some clothing chops.
There are plenty of taxi on the main road and its on the bus route... via grand Baie to port Louis. as well as in the other direction where you can take a bus or taxi to the market in goodlands ( very cheap)
You can buy local foods quite cheap on the beach and just in front of the hotel is a local stall that sells most delicious roti.
there are also a few restaurants.
There is a truck that sometimes sells fresh vegtables.
There is a local with name Patrick on the beach that does snorkel and island visits.Ask for him.

Catamarans head north from Grand Bay to Ilot Gabrielle, from Shandrani to Ille aux Cerfs or from Tamarin Bay to Port Louis. Each boat carries snorkelling equipment, and a delicious barbecue is prepared by the crew. Listen to great music as well.
This is a full day trip.

Visit this authentic old sugar producing factory completely restored and discover the fascinating world of sugar. The exhibits take you back in time to let you ubderstand the extent to which the history of Mauritius is so strongly linked to the sugar industry.

La Vanille Crocodile Park in Mauritius is near Riviere des Anguilles, to the southern region of Mauritius. Step inside the La Vanille Reserve and be mesmerized with the tropical vegetation.

In this big park you can see all sorts of interesting plants, especially palm trees. I recommend to hire a guide because it's much more interesting walking through the park, getting a lot of useful information about the plants. You can hire guides at the car park. Many languages are available, such as English, French, German.
However, it's also nice just for a stroll and as a welcome change to the beach...

there is a lot of people on the island who work when they need to
like this guy, he was working for the day taking some tourist to other beaches, other than that he said he goes fishing for a living ;P
what a relaxing life
no stress
