🇲🇺 To see Mauritius from the ground is to see a paradise of white-sand beaches and sugarcane fields. But to see it from the air is to witness one of the planet's most mind-bending natural illusions. A helicopter tour here is the only way to unlock the island's most famous secret, a sight that truly defies belief. ✨ As you lift off, the scale of the island's beauty becomes clear. You'll soar over the lush, emerald-green peaks of the interior, spot the cascading ribbon of Chamarel Waterfall, and glide over the crystal-clear lagoons that shimmer in a thousand shades of blue and turquoise. 🌊 The absolute climax of the flight is reaching the southwestern tip of the island. Here, off the coast of the majestic Le Morne Brabant mountain, you'll see it: the "underwater waterfall." This stunning optical illusion, created by sand and silt being pulled by currents into the deep ocean abyss, looks like a massive, submerged cascade. It's a breathtaking spectacle that simply cannot be seen from the ground. ✅ Unmissable Sights from the Air: * The Underwater Waterfall: The show-stopping illusion off Le Morne that has to be seen to be believed. It’s a perspective that redefines the colour blue. * Le Morne Brabant: Get a true sense of the scale and majesty of this UNESCO World Heritage monolith as you circle its peak. * The Seven Coloured Earths of Chamarel: From above, this geological curiosity looks like an artist's palette of reds, purples, and browns painted directly onto the green jungle floor. 💡 Pro Tip: Book your helicopter tour for a day with clear, bright skies. The sun is what makes the colours of the lagoon and the "waterfall" pop so vibrantly. Most tours leave from the airport or from helipads at luxury resorts. 🏨 Hotel Recommendation: For a stay as dramatic as the view, book the St. Regis Mauritius Resort. It's nestled on a stunning beach right at the foot of Le Morne Brabant, offering unparalleled luxury and the perfect home base from which to explore the very landscape you just flew over. You can book your stay via Trip.com. #falladventures #Travel2GetAhead #adventuremoments #trip #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #beautifuldestinations #islandtrip #africatrip #luxurytrip #mauritiustrip #holidaytrip #dreamtrip #couplestrip #onceinalifetrip #photographytrip #helicoptertrip #Mauritius #WadiRum #UnderwaterWaterfall #LeMorne #HelicopterTour #VisitMauritius #LuxuryTravel #IndianOcean #IslandLife #MauritiusIsland

The Seven-Colored Earth is a natural wonder that looks like a miracle brought by nature 🌈. This phenomenon occurs due to minerals from the Chamarel mines in Mauritius undergoing chemical reactions when exposed to air, resulting in vibrant colors 🌈. As a result, this unique sight can only be found near the volcano and not throughout Mauritius 🗻. The area around the Seven-Colored Earth is equipped with walking paths for visitors to explore ✨. Depending on the weather, viewing angle, and how the light hits, the colors you see can change 🌈. Take your time to find your favorite spot to enjoy this breathtaking view. With hues of red, pink, yellow, blue, and orange, the landscape resembles a rainbow painted directly onto the ground, creating a truly magical and one-of-a-kind destination 🌈💓. Additionally, the palm trees 🌴 by the beach offer such stunning photo opportunities that you’ll find yourself snapping pictures 📷✨.

Ladies! Taking my 5-year-old to explore Africa's treasure island, this little guy pointed out the helicopter window shouting, "Mom, there are fairies pouring water in the ocean!" He thought the underwater waterfall was real water flowing 💦 Here's our 3-day adventure guide + tips to avoid tourist traps! ▫️The Moving "Underwater Waterfall" - A Natural Wonder Lesson Booked the helicopter tour 🚁 three months in advance. The pilot was amazing with kids! Gave my son a "pilot sticker" before takeoff and a "waterfall crossing certificate" after landing. While I was ready to explain the geography of Le Morne's sand formations, my son suddenly tapped the window: "A fairy grandpa spilled his paint!" (It really did look like blue and white paint dancing 🎨) ▫️Bird Park Turned My Kid into the Lion King The "Walk with Lions" program had this mom's heart racing! Since it's only for kids 7+, we opted for feeding giraffes 🦒 instead. My son ended up falling in love with the giant tortoises, chasing them while calling them "tank turtles." The keeper secretly let him touch the shell and make a wish. Even better was the children's adventure vehicle touring five continental eco-zones - when zebras walked past, my son held his breath (finally quiet for 3 minutes, thank heavens 😂) ▫️Natural Pool - All-Day Energy Release The natural pools in the southern reef area are amazing! Just put on arm floaties and let kids float around 🏊♂️ Colorful tropical fish swim right by your legs, and during low tide, you can hunt for starfish with them. The best part? The guide taught kids to make coral art - my son created an "Underwater Waterfall Fantasy" and was praised for having Picasso talent (though mom thought it looked more like scrambled eggs with tomatoes 🥚) ▫️Natural Bridge - Real-Life Wave Show A 20-minute drive to this wild spot was worth it! 30-meter waves crash against black volcanic rocks 🌊 My son borrowed binoculars from the hotel and played captain: "Report! Whale spotted 45 degrees starboard!" (It was just waves!) Remember to wear non-slip shoes! My son had his first "sea salt-flavored tumble" here (thankfully he's well-cushioned 😭) ▫️InterContinental Hotel Treats Kids Like Royalty InterContinental Mauritius Resort is amazing! The kids' club even has underwater waterfall craft classes, giving me 2 hours for photo shoots 📸 Family pool comes with water slides, and kids' meals are served in coconut shells 🍛 Best of all, they helped turn seashells collected from their private beach into necklaces. At checkout, he refused to take it off: "This is my sea god medal!" Tips: ✅Book 9 AM helicopter flights for best lighting ✅Book "Animal Keeper Experience" on bird park's official website ✅InterContinental offers free kids' snorkeling lessons ✅Visit Signal Mountain 1 hour before sunset Now my son pretends to fly helicopters at home, saying he wants to be "Captain of the Underwater Waterfall Security Team." So here's the question - should I tell him the truth or protect the fairy tale?

Mauritius is loved by so many! It's a place I can't forget even after multiple trips to the Maldives. 🏨 Shangri-La Le Touessrok Resort & Spa, Mauritius Staying at the Shangri-La, the environment, location, and service were all excellent. The resort is so charming, you won't get bored even after staying for a few days. The breakfast and dining options were all delicious. - 🐬 Activities: 🔥 Dolphin watching is super fun, and you can swim with them! A large group of dolphins is so cute!! 🔥 There's a zoo, and riding an ATV in the jungle feels so free! Playing with zebras and ostriches is so much fun. - 🍕 Food: Mauritius' brown sugar and black tea are incredibly good. Be sure to bring some back, or you'll regret it. The other food wasn't memorable; the instant noodles I brought were tastier. - ☁️ Scenery: The sea in Mauritius has 100 colors. Île aux Cerfs is beyond words; you have to experience it yourself. The sunrises and sunsets are both beautiful. If you love islands, you must experience the charm of Mauritius.

Africa is not just about the savannah. It is also home to the "original paradise" described by Mark Twain, Mauritius, the pearl of the Indian Ocean. This is one of the most popular island resorts for Westerners. It is no exaggeration to say that it is comparable to Hawaii. On this subtropical island, you can not only enjoy the unique beauty of the underwater waterfall in Mauritius, but also follow the dolphins and enjoy a romantic vacation with blue waters and white sand beaches. In addition, Mauritius is visa-free for Chinese citizens. You can travel smoothly with just a passport and no complicated procedures. The price is not expensive compared to other high-end islands. You can enjoy a high-end island at a mid-range price, which is very cost-effective! 7 days and 5 nights in Mauritius: DAY 1 Arrival, private transfer, check in, free time DAY 2 Catamaran dolphin watching, BBQ at sea DAY 3 Helicopter tour of the underwater waterfall + lunch at a mountain restaurant + walk with lions DAY 4 Free time, book free water activities at the hotel (kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, etc., subject to hotel arrangements) DAY 5 Visit Île aux Cerfs, comparable to Tahiti DAY 6 Northern cultural tour, visit Port Louis, Royal Botanic Gardens, Red Roof Church, Caudan Waterfront, and the filming location of the movie "Breakup Buddies", transfer to the airport after the tour DAY 7 Return home

🏖️ Mauritius was the first of the three pearls of the Indian Ocean that I visited, and it was also the one I liked the least. The Maldives has a beautiful sea and a relaxing holiday atmosphere; Seychelles is primitive and pure, and Mauritius may be because I was constantly on day trips and was physically and mentally exhausted. If there is a next time, I will choose to drive by myself to play in Mauritius. 📍【My itinerary】 Day 1: Chengdu-Mauritius Day 2: Super U, Grand Bay, Red Roof Church Day 3: Volcano, Chamarel Waterfall, Ship Model Factory, Seven Colored Earth, Casela Nature Park 4WD Day 4: Speedboat chasing dolphins + snorkeling, Cape of Good Hope, Natural Bridge, Blue Bay Glass Boat + Snorkeling Day 5: Catamaran Deer Island Cruise Day 6: Port Louis, Hotel Day 7: Return 🏨【Le Meridien Hotel】 I stayed at the Le Meridien Resort, which is very large and has its own private beach. Each room is a sea view room🌊. It was booked for 1500+/night including breakfast and dinner. The hotel has 4 restaurants + 3 bars. Breakfast can only be eaten in the 180-degree buffet main restaurant. Dinner can be chosen from 4 restaurants and can only be entered at 19:00. But the three restaurants other than 180 degrees need to make an appointment for dinner before 16:00 on the same day. The hotel has a free 24-hour fitness center on the first floor, and a spa center where you can steam sauna, wash Turkish bath, and surf bath for free. After arriving on the first day, the time was not yet check-in, so we took a shower and changed clothes here. All the hotel's water projects that do not burn oil are free, but you need to make an appointment in advance. 🌟 Because I go out to play every day, the time I actually stay in the hotel is almost only sleep time, and I did not enjoy its facilities well. I booked Le Meridien because I changed the travel time once, and the original favorite Constance Belle Mare had no room, so I chose Le Meridien. But the experience of Le Meridien is also very good, the service is enthusiastic, the sea view is beautiful, and the cost performance is very high.

#watersports #100WaysOfTravel Come to the private beach at Albion. This is one of the two beach resorts in Mauritius and it is located on the west coast side of Mauritius.

This is by far one of the best resorts in Mauritius. We spent four days with family (our two children) and I must say that the team provided us with an excellent service. Rskesh from L'Oasis restaurant deserves special mention for his concern for my children. It means a great deal to us. The kids club team is fantastic, and we were able to take some time away from parenting thanks to them. We will definitely return and highly recommend this resort.

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. #mytripvlog #mauritius #paradise #beachlife #summervacation

Buildings in Paris are beautiful! Their medieval architecture added to its charm. We took a walk to Gare du Nord to catch our next train. On our way, I took some pictures of the buildings around the area and made me admire the architecture of the buildings more than before. I was fascinated and still am about its beauty and elegance. The train station was very busy with tourists traveling from different directions but also full with different people from different walks of life. While facing the station, I stood their for about 10 minutes just to look at it and enjoy the beauty in front of me. It was my fourth time in Paris and still I will never get tired of the city‘s beauty, its elegance and its charm. Gare du Nord is one of the most beautiful train stations in my opinion. #tripblazers #garedunord #paris #europetrip #iloveparis #romanticcity

Bois Cheri was the first tea plantation dating back to 1892 and is packed full of history! Take a guided tour of the tea factory, visit the museum, and finish with a tasting of the many flavors of tea that are now produced here. Oh, and don’t forget to book a table for lunch as well with some pretty incredible panoramic views of the plantation. **Hint: make sure to book your tour in the morning during winter season because the tea factory closes early! Thanks to the massive amounts of sugar cane that are produced on the island, rum has become a very important part of the Mauritian economy. Tour the beautiful distillery that looks like some kind of european castle, take part in the tasting, and then hang around for lunch. But seriously, who doesn’t want join in on a rum tasting on their holiday #romanticrestaurant#summervacation#urbanexplorer

If you’re anything like me and have always dreamed of swimming with dolphins in an authentic way, now is your chance! You can start your day watching sunrise from the boat and then jumping into the glassy, clear waters of Mauritius to join in with pods of dolphins… there is truly nothing more magical than this! Le Morne Brabant holds a ton of historical and cultural significance to Mauritius! It’s hard to google ‘Mauritius’ and find a photo of the island that doesn’t include this UNESCO World Heritage site because of it’s striking appearance and significance. You can book a guided hike to the top at 1,824 ft above sea level for one of the most stunning views you can image and to learn more about the history behind this unique mountain. #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Mauritius isn’t just a beautiful beach island with nothing to do but relax and enjoy the sun… although you can definitely spend a lot of time doing just that with its 105+ mile long coastline, but there are some really fun adventures to enjoy that we discovered while on the island! Get a bird’s eye view of the island by ziplining your way through the mountainous forests of Mauritius (yes, FORESTS!). You are guaranteed to see herds of deer along the way. If heights aren’t your thing, you can also book a quad biking tour— or BOTH for a full day of adventure on the island! #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Red Top Church One of the must-see attractions, is a red-roofed chapel, behind the church is the sea, super suitable for taking pictures.

Recommended by Mauritius Hotels: Casuarina Resort and Spa I don't know if it is a net red hotel. Anyway, I follow the travel agency and I recommend it to everyone. The location of the hotel is very good, very Santorini feeling! But the hotel is not on the sea, but a road is the beach of the hotel. In addition, the hotel's Wi-Fi is very bad, except for the Wi-Fi in the bar, the basic use of the room.

Because the place where I live is closer to Dolphin Bay, I can go out at seven o'clock, and if it is estimated to go out at six o'clock in other places. So I am glad to choose the place to live. Mauritius is a place where you can watch dolphins all year round, so you have to go to the sea to see dolphins and choose to go to Mauritius. The dolphins here really come together. You can also see Mount Mona in Dolphin Bay. I have always felt that Mount Mona is very beautiful, and it is like a blue sky and white clouds and blue sea. It is like a famous painting. But when I learned about the story of Mona Mountain, I was deeply moved, and I saw the beauty of Mount Mona in the distance. Legend has it that in the early 19th century, a group of slaves fled to the peninsula to escape from the top of the mountain to ensure their freedom. It is said that before the group of slaves began to flee, they did not know that slavery had been abolished and became very alarmed when they saw a group of soldiers marching towards the cliff. They firmly believed that the soldiers appeared to catch them back, so a large number of slaves jumped from the cliff and died. The rock is named after it, and the meaning of Mona is "sad."
