Delicious Mauritius: it’s not just beaches

For those not in the know, Mauritius is a small, multi-cultural island in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, northeast of Reunion and southeast of the Seychelles. Mauritius also controls Rodrigues Island and the remote, sparsely populated Agalega and Cargados Garayos (Saint Brandon) islands.

As luscious and serene as most of Mauritius is, there is a wilder side for those of you are looking for something a little different. You can hike to capture scenic views of the south coast. Get a massage under Mamzelle Waterfall. Swim in a natural pool with colorful fish near Gris Gris beach.

Hear the soothing sound of the waves along with picturesque views of coast on this hiking trip. Guided by a qualified mountaineer, explore the natural wonders of the south coast, also called the Wild South. You can see the waves crash directly on the cliffs due to the absence of coral reefs.
