A surprising diversity

If you think that Mauritius is only made of turquoise oceans and white sandy beaches, you're completely wrong ! The Pearl of Indian Ocean is also full of rivers, waterfalls, impressing mountains and amazing coral reef. Within its 330km of coasts, among the most beautiful on the planet, you will find some paradisiac beaches and desert creeks, where you can discover no less than 600 species of fishes. The lagoon is a genuine treasure for scuba-diving lovers who will meet whales, dolphins, turtles, fishes, shellfishes and other mollusks.



You can also discover a lot of rare animal species on the island, from mongooses to Java deers passing by bats, monkeys, brown pigs as well as original birds (Mauritius budgie, pink pigeon...). Don't come back before having visited one of the stunning botanic gardens, really famous on the island. You will contemplate vacoas, filao, giant banyan from India and Dodo's trees.
