Think Mauritius is Only for the ‘Fly and Flop’ on the Beach? Think Again

Beautiful multicolored hills in South Africa with lush green forest in the background.

Vibrant, colorful hills in South Africa, perfect for sightseeing and outdoor adventures.

There is a great deal more to do on the island than just lounging on the beach all day. It’s an all-rounder destination appealing to different interests, from tiny tots and teens to adventure- and culture-loving ‘big kids’. Port Louis is home to over 70 pieces of street art. The aptly-named Seven Coloured Earths is essentially a small area of rainbow-coloured dunes made up of sand that gives off a distinctive colourful shimmer – seven different colours, to be exact. Visit at sunrise when the coloured earth looks even more surreal, playing tricks on the eye in the shifting light. A thrilling zip-line adventure awaits at the Vallée des Couleurs, where you can appreciate the south coast of Mauritius from the sky.
