Mauritius Family Holiday Packages

What activities can you enjoy on Mauritius family holidays?

At your beachside resort, toddlers can paddle in the warm azure waters while older kids can try some of the more adventurous activities such as banana boats and other water sports. Many Mauritius hotels host excellent kids’ clubs and offer child-friendly activities. The island is encircled by one of the world’s largest unbroken barrier reefs, so there are endless opportunities for snorkelling and scuba diving. For young ones, dolphin cruises and glass-bottomed boat trips are a great way to see the colourful sea life.

Popular activities on Mauritius family holidays include:

• paddling in warm, shallow waters
• banana boats and other water sports
• kids’ clubs and child-friendly hotel activities
• snorkelling and scuba diving

Île aux Cerfs is a privately owned island off the east coast, renowned for its immaculate beaches and turquoise lagoons. A catamaran will take your family on a day trip to the island, where you can enjoy a wide range of water sports, and golfers can tee off on one of the world’s most spectacular championship courses. Belle Mare, also on the sheltered east coast, is another hub for water sports and is home to two more world-renowned courses.

Highlights on the east coast include:

• Île aux Cerfs for immaculate beaches and turquoise lagoons

• championship golf courses on and around the east coast
• Belle Mare as another base for water sports

What can families do away from the beach in Mauritius?

Take an excursion to Black River Gorges National Park in the hilly south-western corner of the island. The park provides more than 50 kilometres of walking trails, from gentle strolls to more challenging climbs, through enchanting forests and past thundering waterfalls.

Those in search of adventure can head inland and explore the interior. Here you’ll find Hindu temples, fields of swaying sugar cane, and historic tea plantations. Enjoy scenic views from the rim of Trou aux Cerfs, a dormant volcano now filled with lush forest and a crater lake.

Another must-do activity on family holidays in Mauritius is the Solar Sea Walk in Grand Baie. Cleverly designed diving helmets allow visitors to walk along the seabed and get close to the fish and coral in a tropical lagoon.

Away from the beach, families can enjoy:

• walking trails in Black River Gorges National Park
• forests and waterfalls in the island’s south-west
• Hindu temples, sugar cane fields and tea plantations inland
• views from Trou aux Cerfs
• the Solar Sea Walk in Grand Baie
