Located off the eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, the idyllic island of Mauritius is a remarkably romantic holiday destination. While it's renowned for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, gorgeous powder-white sand beaches, and a wonderful tropical climate, the island offers much more. Those who venture inland will discover lush, jungle-clad mountains, glistening blue lagoons, impressive rivers and waterfalls, extinct volcanic craters, charming little ramshackle towns and villages, and wonderfully friendly locals. Must-see attractions include the bustling capital of Port Louis with its lively local markets; the remarkable 85 metre-high Chamarel Waterfall; and Eureka, a historic plantation mansion turned museum offering visitors a glimpse into the island's colonial past.
Set in southeastern Mauritius, Grand River South East is a historic village. The river estuary features some impressive ravines and a spectacular waterfall which is the main attraction in the area and one of the main attractions along the eastern coastline. Visitors flock here to jump on an excursion to the cascading waterfall surrounded by pristine nature. Visitors can also explore the nearby lle aux Cerfs Island and discover the charming village of Trou d’Eau Douce. Other popular activities include: golfing, sightseeing, boat and catamaran tours, kayaking, swimming, and hiking.
