Ride the Wind and Chase the Sunset: A Perfect Day in Le Morne!
Walking up to the sound of the Indian Ocean waves and the majestic silhouette of Le Morne Brabant is the ultimate escape! If you’re heading to Mauritius, staying at Riu Palace Mauritius is a must for anyone seeking adventure and beachside bliss #vacation #summervacation
Start your day with adrenaline rush by kite surfing along the Le Morne lagoon. Known for its consistent winds and pristine waters, this spot is a kitesurfer’s dream! #kitesurfing Whether you are pro or a beginner, the local schools offer lessons and rentals. The turquoise waters and stunning backdrop of Le Morne Brabant make every ride unforgettable!
Tip: Le Morne is famous for its kitesurfing, si make sure to book your spot early, especially during peak season!
After an exhilarating morning of kite surfing, take a break and enjoy lunch at one of the local spots in the area. I highly recommend you to try Wapalapam, not far from Riu Le Morne. Savor some fresh seafood with a side of local Mauritian flavours #deliciousfood
Once you are refreshed, head back to the beach for some downtime. You can swim, walk along the shore or just enjoy the tranquility of Le Morne’s beaches. The area is less crowded than some other parts of Mauritius, making it perfect for those who want to unwind. After a refreshing swim in the Indian Ocean we stroll along the beach.
As the day winds down, find your spot on the beach and get ready for the ultimate sunset show! Le Morne is famous for its sunsets - the sky bursts into a rainbow of colours, with the silhouette of the mountain creating an unforgettable backdrop. It’s an ideal moment for reflection, photos or even a sunset cocktail! #sunset #photography
We had an amazing sunset on the way back walking to the hotel! Tip: for the best sunset views, head to the west-facing beaches, especially around the Marriot or Riu Palace Mauritius. Bring a beach mat and a light drink to truly unwind and enjoy this peaceful moment!
We had a great dinner in Riu Palace Mauritius followed by a cocktail and some entertainment. The quality of service was a highlight!
Le Morne is the perfect mix of thrill and tranquility. Between the kite surfing excitement in the morning and the serene beach vibes in the evening, it’s a day you will never forget!

Hawaii of Africa 💖
#coupletravel
Mauritius, often called "African's Hawaii", is an ideal destination for couples and honeymooners with its stunning beaches, luxury resorts, and romantic activities.
The island offers private villas, sunset cruises, couples’ spa treatments, and breathtaking natural beauty, such as Le Morne Brabant and Chamarel Waterfall.
🙋 We've been to Mauritius twice, and our favorite places to stay were Le Morne and La Goulette.
The southern part of the island is wilder and more rugged, while the north has larger towns.
Mauritius is perfect for a romantic escape. Many resorts offer tailored honeymoon packages for an unforgettable experience.

🇲🇺 Hike with me to Curepipe Volcano
#hikingtime #100WaysOfTravel
Hike with me and discover new findings. On my recent hike to Toru aux Cerfs, I came across this interesting blue weather station at a secluded part on the hiking trail. I came to realize that this is an importation weather station for Mauritius Meteorological Services to check for weather forecasts, patterns and tracking cyclones. It looked old from the outside but it is still working well. Since it is situated on a volcano so it is on a higher ground to monitor the entire island. Luckily there is a hiking trail and cars can pass through or else it will be a long walk for the weathermen to come here everytime.The views here are amazing as it look out towards Indian Ocean.

🇲🇺 Whale and Dolphin seascapes at Ile aux Benitiers
#seascapes #100WaysOfTravel
I am off to the long awaited highlight of my Mauritius trip which is to swim with the whales and dolphins at Ile aux Benitiers. This is an island on the southwest of Mauritius and nearby Le Morne beach and Tamarin Bay. This is one of the popular places to see dolphins. I paid for a boat and snorkling trip with lunch provided and paid 10500 Mauritius rupee (about S$300) for 2 adults. It was a small tour of about 10 persons and we set off on a speedboat. The waves were calm and each time 2 persons will dive in the sea with the instructors. Please always wear your life jackets and keep close to the speedboat when you are in the sea.

🏝️🇲🇺 Sail to Ile Aux Cerfs
#islandtours #100WaysOfTravel
Come with me on a catamaran at Ile Aux Cerfs, the most desirable private island to visit in Mauritius. The only way is by the sea and you can hire a catamaran for the best island tour. There are also several luxurious hotels around here and you can only arrive here via boat. The best and most economical way is to join a day tour and choose the catamaran option with BBQ lunch and drinks. All life jackets and snorkel equipment are included and you can swim freely during rest stops. I was caught in a traffic jam on my way to the jetty so I took a small boat and went to meet the catamaran when they stopped for snorkeling. You have to visit this beautiful island at least once in your lifetime.

🏝️🇲🇺 Ile Aux Cerf tour on a crystal glass bottom boat
#islandtours #100WaysOfTravel
Come with me to witness the most beautiful crystal clear ocean in Indian ocean. If you cannot swim or snorkel then you can consider hiring this crystal glass bottom boat to go on an island tour. The ocean is clear and not too deep because of the sand bank, so you can see many live corals in the ocean and these coral are still very colourful. The prices are in Mauritian rupees and you can negotiate the price with the boatman. In Mauritius, both French and English are spoken and there is no communication problems. The boatman also provide life jackets and snorkel equipment for free too. I will suggest a maximum of 45 minutes to 1 hour is good enough for this quick island tour.

A piece of China in Mauritius 🇲🇺
At the foot of Signal Mountain, in the capital city of Port Louis, Thien Thane Pagoda is regarded as a replica of the famous Temple of Heaven in Beijing. There are no statues inside, but an altar for offerings from people.
The pagoda is a tad far from downtown Port Louis which makes travelling by car is a more convenient option 🚗 While there’s no entrance fee, a modest outfit is expected from visitors.

Awarded the Best Beach in Mauritius 🏝️
Immaculate white sand & Le Morne Brabant mountain, ⛰️ a UNESCO heritage site as backdrop, Le Morne beach is truly one of the most beautiful beaches stretching along the southwest coast of the island 🏝️
Turquoise waters and the untouched coral reef makes it a great place to swim 🏊 while still allowing you to hide from the hot sun ☀️ under the shade of 🌳 the trees. This beach is relaxing with very few people compared to others in the same district. I highly recommend bringing your own food & drinks as there are very few food vendors.

Little Paradise in Mauritius
Jalsa Beach Hotel is a little gem in Mauritius.
very relaxing and calming.
lovely pool area, with morning aquarobics, with an instructor. Which I claim to be the hotels very own Ramone from the "Proposal" - He sings at dinner, plays the Piano, gym instructor, Jack of all trades.
the Pedal boats free for residents at the hotel can be booked at the boat house. check for times - weather permitting. We enjoyed this relaxing water activity and saw fish jump from the Water, and occasionally let the current slowly drift us away before peddling back to the safety areas.
Dinner was different each night, and had different curries. dessert was the same all the time.
lovely stay and the cleaning staff are very friendly and helpful.
The toilet may smell a bit.

Hiking The Highest Peak | Mauritius
Climb the highest peak - 830M - of Mauritius, Piton de la Petite Riviere Noire for a unique view on of the west coast of #mauritius.
1. For a full day hike, start from the bottom at Chamarel.
2. For a lighter version at 600M from Pétrin and check Cascade 500 pieds around the same area.
Hike mostly for intermediate hikers - can be a bit slippery as most of the path is not directly exposed to sunlight.

Kayak on GRSE | Mauritius
Book at any small stay along the GRSE river such as - Otentic or EvaZion - and take one of their single or double kayaks to see the waterfall.
It will take you around 45 minutes back and forth. A really nice moment specially if you chose to do it around sunset time to avoid the speedboats.
Choosing kayaks over noisy speedboats will allow you see the families of monkeys hoping from tree to tree along the river. #mauritius #2023TravelWish
