Having traveled around the Pacific small states, I wanted to compare them with more hackneyed places, which is heard by people. These are about 3 options: Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius.

The Maldives is swept away immediately, because they are relatively close to India. All the impurities of this overpopulated country flow just to these islands. The Seychelles shallowed later, because they did not find an adequate flight and entertainment. But after watching the next season of the Eagle and Reshka, I wanted to get to Mauritius. The island itself is located at a considerable distance from Hindustan, off the coast of Madagascar. I love long trips, so I had no doubt that I would like it.

The island itself is very beautiful and resembles Fiji, pumped up with money. Fiji is a village compared to Mauritius, but with cleaner and bluer water. In addition, national flags are hung all over the country, and if in Oceania you see the blue color of water on the flags and in the corner of the United Kingdom barrier, this creates the effect of a country very far from Russia, but the flag of Mauritius resembles any other African country and the feeling of the ocean is lost .

There are not so many beaches in Mauritius, and the advertised Blue Bay turned out to be just a passage, which did not even linger in my head. Le Morne compared to it is a very rich resort, but with poor access to the beaches. All the best white sand beaches are occupied by very expensive hotels and all that is left for you is to swim on public beaches, which, to put it mildly, do not mean “islanders”. The beach on Le Morne in general turned out to be so banal that show me it in the photo - I would never understand that it is a beach on the island of Mauritius.

A really interesting place in Mauritius is Casella Park. It’s rare where in zoos you can go into the cage to a wild lion or cheetah and stroke it.

If you compare it with Oceania. then the Pacific is much cleaner and bluer than the Indian. Specific I, received from him much more pleasure, and the animal world in it is much more "alive". So the Pacific is beyond competition.

You can watch the rest in my next video!

It’s hard to tell me whether to go to Mauritius or not to go. For the most part - I liked everything, but I did not experience strong emotions. Alas(

Definitely, it is worth visiting once, then to remember your whole life and certainly want to return. On my 30th birthday, from my husband I received such a gift, a ticket to the island of Mauritius. At that time, I didn’t know anything about this island, but of course I heard about it. I was very happy with such a gift, because I had long dreamed of traveling to the island, and suddenly my dream came true.
I have long been very fond of the Indian Ocean, so the choice of this island was not accidental, my husband knew about it. The island itself is quite small, if you wish, you can go around it in just a few hours by car. We lived in a very comfortable hotel, it had everything we needed. For us, the most important thing is responsive staff, delicious food and a good beach.
There are few beaches on the island, but we drove almost all of them. I liked that the island is clean, every area is well-groomed, they clean everywhere almost every day, especially on the beaches, in general it was very pleasant to be there.
It’s impossible not to say about nature itself, you just need to see it with your own eyes, I don’t even know how to put it in words, it is completely different, not like ours, but in its own way magical and unforgettable.
The Indian Ocean has long been in my heart, it is worth bathing in it only once and will like it forever, but yes it was with me.
My husband and I met with the locals, they are quite simple people and kind, many speak English well, even managed to talk, they sincerely meet tourists and invite them to their huts.
We ate not only at the hotel but also in the nearby cafes and restaurants, their food is completely different, you need to get used to it, of course, but overall it is very tasty.
From entertainment, we had scuba diving, before diving deep, we went through all the briefing and training. Swam exactly where there were a lot of small and very beautiful fish, the sensations are indescribable, but honestly I was scared.
If you want to be alone with yourself, there are uninhabited beaches for this, it’s so great there, in the evening you can watch a beautiful sunset and think about something global.
In general, we rested not only with our bodies, but most importantly with our souls, and returned with completely different people. Forever now our hearts stayed on this island, we will definitely come back here again, but already with our children, I am sure they will love this island of Mauritius too!

In October, my husband and I were fortunate enough to spend ten wonderful days in one of the most heavenly places on earth - on the island of Mauritius. The island is located in the Indian Ocean, in the southeast of the African continent. The island is relatively small, a trip on it takes only a few hours. We lived in a comfortable room at the Paradise Hotel, with a high level of service and fairly friendly staff, a beautiful beach with clean golden sand on the shores of the amazingly clear ocean. By the way, on the island almost all beaches are regularly looked after and try to be kept in perfect cleanliness. Going down to the bottom with scuba diving, very beautiful: bright exotic fish, numerous corals, even saw a stingray. I also liked the excursion to the crocodile farm, where crocodiles and giant turtles live. Also, I want to note the huge number of tea plantations that are constantly found along the way. By the way, quite a lot of Russians on the island came across them almost every day. Of the minuses, I can note that there are practically no attractions on the island, and we really missed such a plan of excursions. On the whole, they rested just fine, as if they had been in a real fairy tale. I really did not want to leave here. If there was still such an opportunity, I would definitely come back here again.

I have long wanted to spend my vacation on some remote island, where the climate is very different from the one I'm used to. Just recently, I was lucky to visit the island of Mauritius. As soon as I got here, I could not believe that I ended up in such an amazing place. Around was beautiful nature, bewitching the ocean, from which it was difficult to tear your eyes away. I liked absolutely everything on the island. The locals are kind, always ready to help the tourist. Local food also seemed unusual, but at the same time tasty. I experienced indescribable pleasure in the local zoo, which outwardly seems to be unremarkable, but this opinion changed when I was offered to go into the cage to the lion and stroke it. Although it was scary, curiosity prevailed. It is amazing how wild animals can get used to humans. The beaches here are simply of amazing beauty, sometimes it seemed that I was on a desert island, at night there was also a pleasant atmosphere, I liked the silence, which is interrupted by the sound of the ocean. I didn’t even want to leave here. I did not regret at all that I decided to spend my vacation here, this is a great place.
