What can I do in Mauritius if I love the outdoors?

You can swim, kite, stand-up paddle, snorkel, hike, and walk in the nature reserves and mountains and along the beach. There are plenty of pretty spots to explore across the island. In the west, make a note to hike up Le Morne and to the Tamarin Falls as well as visit the Black River Gorges National Park. Grand Baie is fun, busy and touristy so if you like that energy, the north is the place to be. A lot of beach and watersports activities are offered here, including catamaran cruises to nearby isles.
