You may think that Mauritius is all about longing in front of a gorgeous beach and enjoying all inclusive service 24 hours a day – there is that, but if you’re considering it as a holiday destination you ought to know that there’re much more to it than just that.

There are some awesome natural wonders, as encapsulated by the national parks of Black River Gorges (southwest Mauritius), Bluebay and Balaclava (Western Mauritius). Here you can enjoy the splendid nature that Mauritius offers the tourist and enjoy activities such as hiking and bird watching among others.

And no experience to Mauritius is complete without a visit to Port Louis – one of the most vibrant spots within the island, and one that’s simply crawling with wonderful restaurants, streets bustling with busy shops and some homely bars and café’s. As you may expect, Port Louis is actually the economic core of Mauritius, being the country’s business district.
