A Brief on Mauritius Tours
Mauritius is an island in the Indian Ocean that lies off the southeast coast of Africa. It sits on 720 square miles of land that is full of beautiful lagoons. It also has 330 km of pristine coastline dotted with beautiful palm-filled beaches. Coral reefs surround most of the coast. These features have earned Mauritius a reputation as one of the world’s best holiday destinations. Consequently, this country offers you a wide range of sightseeing, ecological, nature, and historical, religious and adventurous tours.
Mauritius is an ideal place for such tours because it has a high population that lives in relative harmony and peace. In other words, ethnic and religious groups coexist in a spirit of unity driven by common objectives. One of these objectives is the preservation of their cultural heritage. That means you will experience the rich culture of this great nation because the people who live in it cherish it. These positive attitudes are another reason why tourists like visiting Mauritius.
Sightseeing Tours
The sightseeing tours allow you to enjoy several tourist attractions and are the ultimate choice if you are an adventure lover. You get to see the icons of Mauritius and the perfect spots the country has to offer. These involve visits to the picturesque landscape, scenery, wildlife, and a feel of the local culture. Some of these tours are helicopter and seaplane, 7 coloured earth, Chamarel waterfall, Ebony Forest Reserve in the South.
The north sightseeing attractions bring you to the Citadel Fort, Le Caudan Waterfront, Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, and Grand Baie Beach.

Seven coloured Earth
The seven-coloured Earth is the main attraction with 7 different hues of sands and dunes that have piled over 7500 sq. meter area over the years. It is amazing to see the 7 different soils displayed so vibrantly in such a small space.
Rhumerie de Chamarel
But for Rebecca and Dan, before you get to the seven-coloured Earth, visit the Rhumerie de Chamarel, where you can taste the local Rhum. Then get yourself a glass of freshly squeezed sugar cane juice & take it to the site, or you can grab a coffee with some nibbles at the site café.

Very nearby is the Chamarel Waterfall. The amazing natural wonder stands at 83m tall. You can even see its power from far away. For an incredible experience, walk to the waterfall’s source or the watchpoint.
Ebony Forest
The Chamarel adventure also optionally includes the Ebony forest. A jeep ride takes you to the top of the mountain, where the focal attraction is the ebony tree that takes a very long time to grow.

Guided tours form an essential part of discovering Mauritius island. Make sure that you have a guide when venturing to certain places.
