Mauritius can be an ideal location if you plan to buy a real estate property overseas. Not only because it has a lot to offer but also because of the rising real estate market. In recent years, French and South Africans have invested a lot in Mauritius real estate. As a result, the resale value went up from $300,000 to 5 million dollars and will continue to grow. Thus, making Mauritius a hotspot for real estate investment.

Apart from private shows, open houses and so on, companies are opting for virtual tours. One such real estate agent offering virtual tours online is Ad Valorem Properties. Their guided tours help you decide on buying properties in Mauritius.

Virtual tours were not that trendy earlier, but they have been more in demand in five years. As more people tend to buy property abroad, real estate virtual tours have become prevalent, and the reasons are apparent.

What is a Real Estate Virtual Tour?

A real estate virtual tour is a photorealistic tour of a residential or commercial real estate property. It is created by stitching together a series of photographs. Some photographers also take 360-degree photos of the property and then stitch them to create a virtual tour.

On top of using various images, other elements like sounds, narration, or interactive music can also be a part of a virtual tour.

How can Real Estate Virtual Tours Help in Exploring Mauritius Properties?

In Mauritius, you can choose from various properties such as villas, penthouses, apartments, or mansions. You can find these properties in Quatre Bornes, Grand Baie, Tamarin, and the island. If you prefer to take a tour of the properties, real estate virtual tours are the best. Here is how!

You get a Better Understanding of the Property.

When looking to buy a property, you may want to have as much information about it as possible. Real estate virtual tours provide you with all the details you need about the property, like the number of rooms, area, furnishing, etc. You can check every nook and corner of it and get an idea about the size, layout, and features. This way, you can arrive at a better decision about whether or not to purchase the property.

Provide Convenience

One of the best benefits of having a virtual tour is convenience. You may not visit the property if you are not at the location. Here virtual tours can be highly advantageous. Without visiting the property physically, you can see how many rooms it has, how the neighbourhood is, etc.

Virtual Tours Improve Research

The images on Google and real estate websites are great for a start. However, if you want to get a better view, virtual tours can help. A virtual tour can help you decide better and quickly as you can see the property right in front of your eyes. On top of that, you can seamlessly adjust the depth and width of the video or image to see well.

Saves Time

Virtual tours of real estate properties can save your time as you can visit the property right on your computer screen. Moreover, you can visit more properties with virtual tours in less time.

What do you need to get Real Estate Virtual Tours?

To get the best out of your virtual tour, you need to have the best gadgets like a laptop, PC, or phone. On top of that, a fast internet connection is indispensable. To make it more immersive, you can use VR headsets.

What Kind of Virtual Tours are Available in Mauritius?

If you plan for a virtual tour in Mauritius, there are many of them. Here are some of the prominent types of virtual tours! You can choose depending on your preference.

• 2D video tours: These virtual tours consist of arranging 2D images in the form of a slideshow. They can be interactive or non-interactive.
• 360-degree videos: The 360-degree video tours allow you to explore the property the same way as a 3D walking tour. However, you don’t get the choice to zoom in or out as per your will.
• Free movement 3D walking tour: The Free movement 3D walking tour will allow you to explore the property at your speed. You’ll also have the liberty to switch rooms zoom in and out.
• 360-degree pictures put together: Unlike a 360-degree video, 360-degree pictures are put together to create a virtual tour similar to Google Street View.

We can divide these virtual tours of real estate properties into two categories, namely.

• Guided Virtual Tours: A tour guide usually runs these tours. The tour guide helps the users explore the property while entertaining their queries. You might have to pay for guided virtual tours.
• Un-guided Virtual Tours: These virtual tours are generally free, but they do not have anyone on the other end for guidance. However, you can explore the property at your speed. There is no time limit, unlike in guided tours.

Conclusion

Real estate virtual tours are the best if you are up for buying a property in Mauritius. Just sit in the comfort of your sweet home and explore properties across Mauritius. If you have family members who cannot travel, this feature will be a great boon. Plus, you’ll save on travel costs and make a better decision in little time.

The day starts early for Mauritians and tourists who desire to watch or swim with the dolphins in Mauritius. It’s typically 5:30 when Laurent & his girlfriend Sandy gather at the pickup point. It’s the west of Mauritius, but the scenery is perfect, with the lust of sun rising from the east, making the horizon look pink. If you fear sunburn, have sunscreen put on your face and exposed body parts. The seawater looked like a lake for this couple, so it was a very calm sea.

Spinner Dolphins swimming, Mauritius, Africa.

There are several ways to get to the spot where you can be around these fantastic creatures. You can hire a boat or get there by kayaking the sea. It all depends on how much skilled you are at sea. Laurent and Sandy being very experienced at sea, chose to go there on their kayak. There are many service providers for dolphin watching and swimming with dolphins in the region of Tamarin, particularly at Martello Tower. You can also take a speed boat trip from Flic en Flac and enjoy the thrill of speed. However, make sure that you have booked a trip before. Mauritius Discovery Tours is a perfect tour operator to book your dolphin trip in Mauritius. We make it a day of adventure, fun, and relaxation for you

If you are lucky enough, you can also see whales and experience life by getting very close to these huge creatures of the sea. Laurent and Sandy could see people touching their boats as they at times station themselves near boats. It was too risky for Laurent & Sandy because they were on their respective kayak, but the view was just marvelous. This whale encounter was like a cherry on the cake. However, there are certain seasons that you can get the chance to see these whales. The months of May to November are perfect for a whale encounter. If you are one of those lucky ones who come across a whale, you will never forget about Mauritius till your death!

Then comes the adventure part if you are one of those who want to dive with these wonderful creatures. For Laurent & Sandy, it was the case. They jumped from their kayak with a tuba, mask & snorkeling fins, and the world transformed for them. Here were hundreds of dolphins around them. They dived into the waters and enjoyed swimming with these dolphins. They are safe unless you provoke or scare them in any way. Be careful, though, if you are pregnant. These marine human friends love pregnant women, and they like to swim, play & socialize with them. So, nothing to get panicked about here when you see the dolphin interest in you. Probably, you don’t know it yet yourself, but you might be getting the good news sooner or later.

Having enjoyed the bliss of being with dolphins, you can head to the coral garden in the area of Tamarin Bay. Service providers always include snorkeling in the coral garden in their packages. Now, it is your chance to get into the water, even if you were a little bit skeptical about swimming with the dolphins. Swimming in the coral garden does not entail any risk, especially when you have experienced divers or boatmen around you. The corals are splendid in this region of Mauritius, and you can see a variety of coral fish. Just be a little bit careful, though. At times, the water is very shallow, and you can get scratches from corals, but this will not deter you from missing a lifetime chance of snorkeling in Mauritius waters.

After your activities in the sea, most service providers will bring you to Ile aux Benetiers island for a well-deserved lunch. The island is a beauty with fine sand and a beautiful lagoon where you can sunbathe. It is an escape place if you want to feel ownership of an island and you have lots of privacy to enjoy your day on this paradise piece of land. You are served a barbecue prepared on the island. The menu is varied from fish to lobsters with salads and drinks of your choice. You are called to cherish these moments throughout the remaining of your life.

They have transported tourists from Saudi Arabia to Mauritius and also pilgrims from Mauritius to Makkah point to point.”[1]

The Data:

forms the ultimate geographical setting to go hiking situated a few minutes from the pristine beaches. So, what makes the place a favorite travel destination? From a picturesque lagoon that surrounds a better part of the mountain to tale-tell stories about its previous inhabitants, the majestic mountain perfectly blends history and adventure

Le Morne Brabant History

Le Morne Brabant mountain is now a UNESCO World Heritage spot due to its somewhat dark past. A legend about the mountain reveals that the peninsular area was a hub for many slaves, who after escaping from their unforgiving owners settled on the region. In 1835, following the abolition of slavery, some police officers were sent to let the refugees know that they are finally free. However, as the officers were heading to Le Morne Brabant, the sight of uniformed personnel, caused widespread panic and havoc. Overcome with fear, hundreds of refugees committed suicide by jumping off the monolith. February 1 is now as a public holiday in Mauritius.

Le Morne Brabant- Physical Beauty

A notable attraction on Le Morne Brabant is the peninsular formation; it features 556m high basaltic standing that shields the fantastic natural features from natural calamities. The rocky peninsular additionally has a summit that covers more than 12 hectares being approximately 556 m above sea level. A visit to the mountain, therefore, allows you to get deep into the heart of nature as you experience the extreme opposites of rich greenery as well as rough patches that earned it the Word Heritage title. The surrounding lagoon boasts of some of the deep caves spread along its steep inclines.

Le Morne Brabant Hike

Due to its past and also because of its present popularity, hiking Le Morne Brabant mountain is both exciting and full of emotions. It features a 3.5-kilometer long nature trail that will take you between 3 and 4 hours to complete and get back to the base. However, distance alone doesn’t make the hiking excursion thrilling. Well, the mountain is full of exotic trees and plants whose lush green vegetation throng the entire area effectively delivering unfathomable view. While some people opt to hire a certified guide to help them find their way around, if you consider yourself sufficiently adventurous finish the hike on your own; the trail goes all the way to the top of the mountain.

Underwater Waterfall View from a helicopter

Yes, you read that right. As astonishing as it sounds, the underwater waterfall creates nothing short of phenomenal illusions of nature. Here is how it forms. Close to the coast of the island’s edge lies a massive lagoon that forms a mystical feature. A slit along the floor of the ocean helps you create the image of a submerged waterfall in your head essentially delivering a mystical sight. You can view this incredible natural creation from the shore, or you can have an aerial view from the top of Le Morne Brabant. Nevertheless, for a truly memorable sight, watch it from a helicopter.

Conclusion

Le Morne Brabant raises the magnificence of Mauritius a great deal. A walk along swaying palm trees, blue azure lagoons, and beautiful
sandy beaches are guaranteed to help you experience nature at its best. Connect with the Mountain’s impactful past that involves hundreds of slaves choosing to live under punitive conditions to escape tyranny. Explore the breathtaking valleys and summits on foot as you perplex at its scenic terrains and distinct plant and tree varieties.

A visit to the beautiful island of Mauritius would not be complete without checking off at least one adrenaline-fueled adventure from your to-do list. There is no shortage of experience to get into in Mauritius, but one excursion we recommend is exploring the island via a quad bike.

What Is a Quad Bike?

Quad bikes are essentially motorcycles that have four large tires instead of two. They are sometimes also known as all-terrain vehicles, four-Wheeler or just quads.

What Does a Quad Bike Tour Consist Of?

The quad bike tour will depend on which agency you book through. In some situations, you will be exploring the countryside in a natural reserve park. With some companies you’ll go as far as 35 kilometers on your quad, taking in waterfalls and swimming.

Quad Bike Safety

There are hazards involved in any adventure activity. When we are looking at quad biking, the most common injuries result from falling off of the quad or it crushing the rider. There are some basic safety tips that one must abide by to prevent damage. Since the quads do not have roll bars, personal protective equipment is an absolute must. The only form of protection that you’ll have as a rider is whatever you choose to wear. Because most quad-related fatalities occur due to head injuries, a helmet is a non-negotiable piece of equipment you must wear. In addition to your headgear, clothing should cover your arms and legs to help protect your skin if you crash or fall off the quad.

Only people who are adequately trained to drive a quad bike should be behind the wheel. We recommend passengers be over the age of 16 as well. You may find that some tour companies provide shorter tours for children younger than 16. Such trips may be excellent so long as the companies have done their research and are giving quad bikes that are the proper size for your children. These companies may have minimum and maximum height and weight restrictions in place, and they should be strictly following them.

Quad Tours and the Mauritius Tourism Authority

According to the Tourism Authority of Mauritius, any company that is in the business of providing quad bike tours must provide proper documentation before being allowed to operate their business. These companies must prove that they have safety and security measures in place to protect their riders. In addition to that, companies must provide the Tourism Authority with their maintenance plan for their quads. This ensures that the quads are always in good running condition.

While there are countless activities available for adventure-seekers on Mauritius, we recommend considering a quad bike tour. Not only do they provide visitors with a way to see the countryside and panoramic views of the coastline, but these tours are also able to do so in a unique vehicle that many people may have never had the chance to drive or experience before. Quad bikes tours are a must-do, so long as you’re prepared to ask questions about safety and strap on all of your protective equipment before you go!
