Enjoy Fabulous Experiences with Cheap Holidays to Mauritius

A gorgeous island country located in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius has a rich biodiversity and some enchanting white-sand beaches. It was named after the Dutch prince, Maurice van Nassau in the late 16th century. The Dutch rule on this island ended in the early 18th century when the French took control. In the early 19th century, the British established their rule over Mauritius and had their influence on the island until 1992 when it became a sovereign state. Today, it is one of the leading tourist destinations of the world with diverse offerings in store for its visitors.

You can enjoy cheap holidays to Mauritius if you visit during its summer season from January to April. During this time of the year, there is a considerable rise in temperatures up to a maximum of 33-Degree Celsius. There are frequent showers of rain in this season and lesser crowds, resulting in a significant reduction in room rates offered by the hotels and resorts. Winter from May to December is the best time to be in Mauritius with regards to the climate, as it is characterised by pleasant daytime temperatures that are ideal for relaxing on the beaches and spending some quality time outdoors.

During your cheap holidays to Mauritius, you'll get the chance to witness the most awe-inspiring attractions of this island nation. One of them is Ile aux Cerfs Island, also known as Deer Island, which has attractive white-sand beaches, outcrops of volcanic rock, and plenty of natural vegetation. Another fabulous place worth visiting is the Black River Gorges National Park. It is well-known for its hiking trails, waterfalls, and some endemic species of flora and fauna. You can witness the amazing Coloured Earths upon visiting a small village called Chamarel. When you're in the La Vanille Nature Park, you'll get the chance to see the Giant Aldabra tortoises.

The activities that you get to indulge in with your Mauritius holidays would surely make your time in this island nation truly unforgettable. One of them is scuba scooting, which is quite different from scuba diving. It allows you to go underwater and explore the coral reefs and get close to the tropical fish without any risks. With a visit to the Frederica Nature Reserve, you can go on a quad biking adventure through the sugar cane plantations and savour the pleasant views on the way. You can also book an underwater submarine tour with a local operator and witness some fascinating varieties of aquatic beings without getting drenched in water.

While in Mauritius, you can also relish some of the delicious varieties of the local cuisine. One of them is its national dish called 'Dholl Puri'. It comprises a split-pea pancake filled with bean curry and 'rougaille', a spicy sauce of garlic, sweet tomatoes, thyme, and ginger. You'd also like to taste some Mauritian curries that are accompanied with fried noodles, dumplings, or any of the other side dishes. Fish Vindaye would be a great option to pamper your taste buds as it is prepared using a pickled fish along with a tangy sauce comprising garlic, onion, ginger, turmeric, and mustard seeds.
