I never anticipated that I would ever have a chance to visit Mauritius. For as long as I can remember, it has been my dream destination. For our 15th wedding anniversary, we decided to go all out and book a trip to this beautiful island nation. We were left enamored by the Creole architecture of the buildings, the blue of the ocean, and the hospitality of the locals. The pleasant Mauritius weather in April enhanced our experience greatly.

Our Mauritius trip in April wouldn’t have been successful if it was not for TravelTriangle’s assistance at every step.

Beach Hopping

We indulged in a bevy of water sports at Belle Mare, Grand Bay area and Ile Aux Cerf Island on the second day of our trip. Parasailing and underwater sea walk gave us a major adrenaline rush. We tried to soak up the sun as much as we could and enjoyed ourselves immensely on our North and South island tour, which included a trip to Flic n Flac beach, Mont Choisy beach, and Cap Malheureux.

We stumbled upon a full day cruise in Mauritius by serendipity. It started at around 8 AM and ended at 4 PM. The cruise provided luggage storage services and dropped us off at the airport too, so it was a win-win situation for us on the final day of the trip. It was a full day cruise with breakfast, lunch, unlimited drinks, dance and music.

The city tour was one of my most favorite experiences. We visited the Ship Model Factory and Chamarel Coloured Earth. I especially enjoyed visiting Chamarel as I had a chance to gaze at the beauty and charm of Mauritius in its most raw form. We couldn’t take pictures on our trip to Ganga Talao because of the rains, but overall it was a pleasant encounter.

We purchased several fridge magnets, decorative pencils, and key rings from the craft shops on Le Caudan waterfront. These are some of the best things to buy from Mauritius. We also visited the local market in Quatre Bornes. It is a weekly market where you can get clothes at discounted prices. Make sure to perfect the art of haggling because the shopkeepers are known to quote exorbitantly high prices to foreigners.

We enjoyed gorging on delicious local food at Quatre Bornes. The hotel we stayed in served us a delicious offering of local cuisine for breakfast and dinner. We got a chance to eat bondas and dhal puri at the roadside eateries. Street food in Mauritius was very filling and easy on our pockets.

Tips For Mauritius Travel

Here’s a detailed list of 5 tips for Mauritius travel that I believe will help you avoid mistakes and vacation like a pro:

1. Drinking water in Mauritius are expensive, so make sure you purchase a pack of 6 water bottles from a local store.
2. If you’re traveling in a group of more than three people, we suggest you consider hiring a private vehicle rather than opting for public transport since the former will be more cost-effective.
3. If you want to cut your travel costs, opt for an all-inclusive hotel which serves you at least two meals of the day.
4. You will not find a lot of restaurants serving tea in Mauritius, so we suggest you to carry your own sachets if you’re a tea aficionado.
5. Most of the shopping malls in Mauritius close by 2 PM on Sunday, so check their timings online before you visit them.
