People may not agree this at afirst, but families have started considering Mauritius as a tropical getaway. The turquoise beaches and abundance of nature offer a variety of activies for families to enjoy together. So, it can be said that the trend is changing. This couple with their one year old kid took a family trip to Mauritius and put an end to the argument that Mauritius vacation is only ideal for couples.

Why Did You Take A Family Trip To Mauritius?

It was my wife’s birthday and we wanted any international trip that does not require too much commute time considering we have an infant. Mauritius posed as a great option as we could spend a laidback vacation by the beach yet partake in adventure activities like zip lining and watersports.We had the time of our lives on our Mauritius family tour and didn’t feel like returning!

Ziplining was one of the highlights of our Mauritius trip. In fact, my wife and my one-year-old son had the most fun going whoopee on the zip line and straight into the waterfall.
