Things to Do in Mauritius

Mauritius is often associated with its beaches — and they really are stunning. But reducing this island to its lagoons would mean missing the bigger picture. Mauritius is also hikes through lush gorges, mornings spent swimming with dolphins, markets fragrant with spices, catamaran trips to deserted islets, and sunsets that outshine any restaurant view in the world.

Here we've grouped together every activity and experience we recommend, organised by theme. Each guide covers the practical details: price, duration, best time to go, how to book and who it suits.
