The attractions in Mauritius appeal to a broad range of holidaymakers, with something for water sports enthusiasts; nature lovers; beach babes; shopping aficionados and historians. The entire coast is lined with paradise-like beaches, with coral reefs just a short swim away off-shore. Inland, the hinterland provides mountainous nature reserves, traditional villages and amazing scenery.
Prominent among the tourist activities in Mauritius beaches are different types of water sports. The surrounding sea beaches, creeks and backwaters offer ample swimming opportunities to the travelers. Diving is another common activity on Mauritius beaches, for which the visitors mainly crowd the Grand Baie beach to the north of Pamplemousses Gardens. Other popular diving destinations in Mauritius include the Rodrigues Island and the Flic-en-Flac located on the western coast of Mauritius. These are places where the divers enter the exotic world of beautiful coral reefs and explore every nook and corner of the Mauritius under waters, chasing the multi-colored fishes and sea anemones. Scuba diving is also a common tourist activity practiced here.
Snorkeling is a pleasant alternative to scuba diving. Snorkeling allows the tourists to experience the colorful under waters of Mauritius sea and lagoons, moving amidst the sea urchins and unusual corals, irrespective of their ages.
Deep sea fishing attracts those who are adventurous in nature and interested in animal life. Fishing amidst the deep sea waters is popular and easy in the west coast of the island, owing to the swirling sea currents. This swirl helps in creating an environment whereby large fishes are attracted to get baited. In Mauritius, October to April is considered to be the ideal time for deep sea fishing.
