Hi
To celebrate a couple of momentous recent events in the clan, we have booked a week in Mauritius in mid June.
We'll be staying at Le Victoria in the north west, and fortunately the package is all inclusive (as my research indicates that this can be a complete minefield). However, due to the parlous state of the rand and my cheapskate tendencies, I am investigating affordable ways to explore the island, as well as interesting and quirky things to see/do.
Things we'd be interested in include swimming with dolphins, whale watching, horse riding (preferably on the beach), snorkelling in Blue Bay, bird watching (especially for the Mauritian endemics) and anything to do with dodos. We're also not averse to renting a car or using local transport. But this is only a preliminary list, so please feel free to share your experience of things you've done that you really enjoyed: I didn't find as much as I was expecting when I browsed the existing Mauritius pages.
Looking forward to your guidance!
Regards
Cathy
