Things to Do in Mauritius

  • Gawk at giant lilies in Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens This botanical garden was opened nearly 300 years ago as the private property of the French governor of Mauritius. Now, it’s called the ‘Sir Seewoosagur Botanic Garden’ and has morphed into one of the most famous attractions of the island. Located in the vicinity of Port Louis, it is spread over a vast area of 37 hectares and presently it is rated as one of the oldest botanical gardens in the southern hemisphere.
    The highlights of the visit are the giant water lilies (some of which are 6 ft. wide) and nearly 85 different varieties of palm trees, which have been brought in from different corners of the world. The variety of flora is huge, overall there are more than 650 varieties of plants including the Palmier Bouteille and famed Baobabs.

  • Relax at Ile Aux Cerfs Island The island is often called as the ‘Deer Island’. Sadly, the deer are long gone but the island, located near the east coast of Mauritius, has become a popular tourist destination among tourists. Spread over 100 hectares, this island is gathering a name for itself due to its beautiful beaches and serene lagoons. You can spend an entire day here with lots of activities to do. Apart from the usual relaxing, you can indulge in many water sports, mouthwatering local delicacies, snorkeling, golfing and boat rides on boats that have a glass at the bottom.

  • Meet the Tortoises at Parc Francois Leguat This wildlife park situated in Rodrigues Island is also known as the turtle park. The park has hundreds of tortoises that roam its grounds, the outcome of a breeding program. There are mainly two types of tortoises that roam here: the Aldabra giant tortoise and Radiata tortoise. The former is a giant weighing around 250 kg with the latter tipping the scales at 10 kg. This park also offers cave visits that are an experience in themselves. They are full of interesting rock formations that also give shelter to giant fruit bats. Once done with the caves, you can head to the museum for a history lesson and an insight into the settlement of the island.

Anand Mehta

I was travelling to Mauritius for the first time. As I was travelling alone and had nobody to accompany me, I was quite apprehensive about my stay. My friends, all seasoned travellers, recommended me getting an international travel insurance. I went with their suggestion and bought ICICI Lombard’s insurance for my trip. Although I didn’t make a claim, it was a comforting thought which enabled me to truly enjoy my vacations without worrying about a thing.

I was vacationing with my friends in Mauritius and was having a blast. One of my friends got injured though. Fortunately, we all had travel insurance from ICICI Lombard and were able to get him treated at a network hospital. He was back up in no time and we all went back to enjoy the remainder of our trip. We are all very happy at our decision of purchasing travel insurance and would strongly recommend ICICI Lombard to anyone travelling for holidays abroad.
