Small island, but lots to see! Leisure parks all around Mauritius offer a host of family friendly activities. Catamaran tours, hiking and biking combine leisure with sightseeing.
Tourists visiting Mauritius are no longer just sun-seekers going for the white sandy beach of their luxury hotel.
Today, visitors of “Paradise Island” might be adventurers and sport cracks, eager to go beyond the boundaries of the proverbial “3S”. And lately, families have discovered the benefits of flat, protected beaches, with shallow waters, safe for children to swim and play.
Additionally, they benefit from an array of child-appropriate fun and leisure activities offered by private caterers and leisure-parks on a broad scale throughout the island. Especially the theme-parks not only have attractions like encounters with exotic bird and animal species, but also offer guided hikes and quad-biking tours, safaris, horse riding, canyoning, zip lining, swimming in mountain-streams and fox-trail adventures.
Specifically tailored sustainable day tours for families and groups provide valuable insights into the islands plant and animal-life, its fragile eco-system, religions and cultures, but also a look into the kitchens of this melting pot.
