Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Mauritius is the stuff of fly-and-flop dreams: rustling palm trees, cane sugar beaches, spectacular marine life and a jet lag-busting three-hour time difference.<\/p>\nSet in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, this English, French and Mauritian Creole-speaking republic typically tends to be the choice of holidaymakers in search of sun, sand and sea.<\/p>\n
Go beyond the beach, though, and you\u2019ll find an island with plenty of museums, a wild interior to hike and a huge array of water sports. These are the best things to do in Mauritius.<\/p>\n
1. Swim with dolphins<\/p>\n
Thalassophiles will love Mauritius and there are activities for all ages and abilities, from scuba diving and paddleboarding to family-friendly outings in glass-bottomed boats.<\/p>\n
But, for a trip you\u2019ll never forget, take the opportunity to swim with dolphins or even whales. Local boat crews know their hangouts and you\u2019ll spend a morning donning flippers and snorkels, leaping in to swim with them, trying (and failing) to keep up with the pod, climbing back on the boat, sailing after them and leaping in again.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re most likely to see bottlenose and spinner dolphins \u2014 the latter really do jump and spin in the air. A little like artichoke, cabbage and bamboo shoots, palm heart is the delicacy that one chef told me was \u201cMauritian caviar\u201d.<\/p>\n
One restaurant that serves it with knockout views is Le Chamarel, while other top spots include La Table du Cha\u0302teau (French and creole) and Le Cha\u0302teau De Bel Ombre (set in a colonial villa).<\/p>\n
Hasu at Long Beach Mauritius, on the east coast, serves immaculate sushi, tender beef and theatrical desserts in an intimate setting ideal for couples and those seeking a memorable meal.<\/p>\n
3. Hike Black River Gorges National Park<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re visiting Mauritius for the first time you\u2019re probably going to want to stick to the beach, but if your dream holiday is action-packed, one of the easiest places to explore is Black River Gorges National Park in the south.<\/p>\n
A hike is a great opportunity to learn about the local flora and fauna such as the national bird, the Mauritius kestrel, and macaque monkeys. There are two information centres, 37 miles of hiking trails and plenty of picnic spots.<\/p>\n
Be prepared for all weathers and make sure you wear mosquito repellant to guard against near-inevitable bites. 4. Visit the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden Those who favour a civilised stroll over an energetic trek should head to the north.<\/p>\n
The Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, also known as the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, was created in 1767 and is named after the first prime minister of Mauritius.<\/p>\n
Admire giant water lilies, the red national flower of Mauritius, boucle d\u2019oreille (trochetia boutoniana), the spice garden and a huge variety of palms in the 81 acres of grounds.<\/p>\n
5. Explore some amazing museums<\/p>\n
Those long fascinated by the dodo in Lewis Caroll\u2019s Alice\u2019s Adventures in Wonderland can flock to the Natural History Museum in Port Louis to see a complete dodo skeleton and learn about the bird that became the country\u2019s national emblem (it features on money, stamps and in many a gift shop in cuddly toy form).<\/p>\n
The Blue Penny Museum, which houses the 1847 Blue Penny and Red Penny stamps, is a must for philatelists, while the Postal Museum\u2019s 200-year-old building is as much of a draw as its contents.<\/p>\n
In the south, Mauritian poet Robert Edward Hart\u2019s coral-stone house turned museum is worth a look \u2014 or you can watch giant tortoises and discover a frankly terrifying collection of insects at La Vanille Nature Park.<\/p>\n
6. Learn about the island\u2019s sugar history Sugar cane fields are part of the landscape and the island is known for its light muscovado and rum. To learn more about the history of sugar production in Mauritius visit L\u2019Aventure du Sucre in the north.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s set in a former sugar factory and has interactive exhibits and trails for all ages, along with information on the part sugar cane plays in green energy today.<\/p>\n
The aptly named Sugar Beach, meanwhile, serves an excellent afternoon tea on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 3pm until 5pm. Expect elegant macarons, Napolitaines (glazed Mauritian shortbread biscuits) and scones served with pineapple jam.<\/p>\n
7. Take a helicopter flight<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not cheap and it\u2019s weather-dependent \u2014 but taking to the skies via helicopter is a unique way to see Mauritius and is the stuff of photographers\u2019 dreams. If you\u2019re lucky you\u2019ll be able to spot the underwater waterfall optical illusion near Le Morne.<\/p>\n
Even if not, you can take in everything from Triolet in the north to Chamarel in the south, viewing the island\u2019s many mountains, waterfalls, forests and patches of multi-coloured earth as you go.<\/p>\n
8. Go shopping at Le Caudan Waterfront With its Instagrammable Umbrella Square and designer labels this is unashamedly a tourist trap. But so what? Sometimes retail therapy makes for a fun day out.<\/p>\n
Here you\u2019ll find modern coffee shops and brands including L\u2019Occitane and Hugo Boss alongside art shops selling locally produced crafts. You can also take in a show at Caudan Arts Centre, a 430-seat venue staging concerts, ballets and plays.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, films for all ages are screened at the cinema, Star Caudan, in British and French. 9. Take a food tour If street food is your thing you\u2019ll love exploring Port Louis central market with its fruit, herbs and spices.<\/p>\n
Although you could wander round on your own, for more insight into the African, Indian, Chinese and French influences that combine to create Mauritian food and the lowdown on where to find the best curries, pickles and gato pima (chilli bites), try a guided tour.<\/p>\n
Later, toast your day\u2019s discoveries with a locally produced Phoenix beer or Grays rum. 10. Play golf and picnic in I\u0302le aux Cerfs I\u0302le aux Cerfs is a 250-acre island about 20 minutes by boat from the mainland.<\/p>\n
It makes a great day out for golfers who can tee off among the palms and tropical plants at the I\u0302le aux Cerfs Golf Club, where the 18-hole course was designed by Bernhard Langer.<\/p>\n
If golf\u2019s not your thing make a beeline for the beach, which is one of the best in Mauritius and perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Take a picnic or, for an upmarket alternative, try a privately booked barbecue lunch on the beach.<\/p>\n
11. Get climbing Novice climbers and children getting to grips with it for the first time will love the outdoor artificial climbing wall at Long Beach Mauritius. The experienced can progress to one of many expeditions scaling the island\u2019s mountains, swimming in local pools and even climbing up waterfalls.<\/p>\n
Those who want the views without the slog, meanwhile, should head to the Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth geopark to see Chamarel Waterfall, which is the country\u2019s tallest.<\/p>\n
12. Admire Hindu temples<\/p>\n
Hinduism is the main religion in Mauritius and the island is studded with temples and murti (images of deities), such as the 33m high red Lord Shiva statue and the largest in the world of Durga Maa (also 33m, she is depicted with her golden lion).<\/p>\n
Visit Grand Bassin, a sacred lake that lies in the crater of an extinct volcano in the south, to pay your respects, but remember to dress conservatively.<\/p>\n
A guided tour is your best bet for learning more about the sites, the gods and the most commonly celebrated festivals in Mauritius. 13. Visit the International Slave Route Monument<\/p>\n
Mauritius was colonised by the Dutch in 1638 and named after Maurice of Nassau, Prince of The Netherlands; later the island came under French rule and then British, before becoming independent in 1968.<\/p>\n
Slave labour was used on the sugar plantations and at Le Morne Brabant, a peninsula in the south, you can find a reminder of the island\u2019s brutal past.<\/p>\n
Runaways found refuge at Le Morne mountain but, when slavery was abolished, in 1835, legend has it that they saw soldiers, assumed the worst and jumped to their deaths. Another theory is that they were massacred.<\/p>\n
Le Morne Cultural Landscape is now a Unesco world heritage site and the International Slave Route Monument marks the fight for freedom of enslaved people and their tragic deaths.<\/p>\n
14. Try yoga on the beach Close your eyes or stare into the sky as you lie back and meditate during a yoga lesson a world away from stuffy studios in crowded gyms.<\/p>\n
Hear the palm trees rustle overhead, breathe in the salty sea air and listen to the sparrows chirrup as your instructor takes you through warrior, downward dog and child\u2019s poses.<\/p>\n
Long Beach Mauritius runs particularly good dawn and sunset sessions for beginners, although more advanced practitioners can book private classes too.<\/p>\n
